🇪🇸 Insane footage from the Moroccan border with Spain: thousands of migrants are gathering at the border
This is exactly what Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez was aiming for.
Yesterday was a disaster for American national security. Trump has divorced himself from the foundations of American foreign policy. Putin isn't intimidated by the U.S.. He's not coming to the negotiating table because he doesn't have to, Trump is giving him everything he wants.
Papers worldwide condemn Trump, in addition Trump has lost the Daily Mail. When you lose the Daily Mail you are a global pariah.
“Trump on Friday presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history.” "A spectacle to horrify the world"
This @POLITICOEurope piece on Chinese politics drew attention for some big claims

Many questionable lines here...

Why is the situation in Niger worrisome?
➡️Niger has two significant uranium mines providing about 5% of world mining output.
➡️Also rich in gold, salt, calcium, phosphates, cassiterite, and gypsum
➡️Country already suffered from Islamist insurgencies, now becoming a potential nest.
BREAKING: The president of Niger has just been overthrown by soldiers. All institutions have been suspended, borders closed and a curfew introduced.
Protesters gathered to defend democracy were dispersed by warning shots
Niger sits on some of the world's largest uranium deposits 🚨🚨🚨

Watching this closely. Popular unrest rarely results in regime change - but these could still become a serious test of the tools of social control developed under Xi. And if so, seems somehow both ironic & appropriate that a tragedy in Xinjiang is the catalyst….
