Someone posted a fake tweet from him in French about having information that could lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, but I'm just going to continue pretending its real.
I guess having US Peacekeepers there for another 10 year stint is preferrable to UN Peacekeepers. Less cholera and rape at least.

Re: Not worthy of a thread News
Regarding that Tigray business in Ethiopia:
Pulling a Tom Friedman here, sorry.
Uber driver today was Eritrean*. Resettled here after qualifying for asylum, eligible for citizenship last year but delayed because of Covid.
I broached the topic, asking about where he was from, but he didn't seem to mind and gave a whole history of the conflict and showed us a photo of his dad with his weapon and family back in the day.
Anyhow, from the Eritrean expat point of view, there's anxiety that the TPLF (Tigray Peoples Liberation Front) is on the march and looking for vengeance. Seems insane that they would fight a two front war against Eritrea and the central Ethiopian government.
He believes the US threat of removing aid was involved in the Ethiopian government forces withdrawal/ rout. Maybe this is incontestible, but I haven't seen much coverage of US diplomatic involvement.
Unrelated, in something that smacks a bit like Sikh feelings toward Gandhi: the Italians weren't so terrible because they gave Eritrea a separate state, but the British decision to include us in Ethiopia led to more than 30 years of conflict.
*Being eligible for conscription in Eritrea is generally grounds for asylum due to conditions in the Eritrean military

What? Being a member of the communist party has not disqualified an individual from working for thr CIA for quite some time. He'd probably find almost as many fellow travelers as opponents.96583UP wrote:Mickey's made a lot of enemies
