This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.

#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 after 9/11.

As a result, 1,105 European & Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan War - 1/3 of coalition casualties.

I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help.

@newbalance Hierro design flaw: Undersized tongue constantly slips sideways during trail runs, exposing socks & letting debris in. Pics show the issue. Great shoe otherwise but this needs fixing for trail running protection. Batch/store details available if needed. #TrailRunning?

The rhetoric is escalating. South Africa needs to be rallying international support to apply diplomatic pressure on Rwanda and prevent further escalation.

@eNCA @eNCA @AntonHarber why not provide some detail about the issue being challenged so viewers can assess if the DA had a point or not. We desperately need more media channels to dig deeper when reporting .. especially if they then have strong options when wrapping up the segment..

I used to love this show!

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Donald Trump on Chinese dictator Xi Jinping: “He's a brilliant man. He controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. He makes guys like Biden look like babies”

Trump loves dictators because he wants to be like them

This article by Niall Reddy in
@africasacountry expresses some of the reasons why I am opposed to an ANC/MK/EFF government.

The @MYANC, @Our_DA and @IFP_Indlovu possibly with the support of smaller parties will constitute a stable government for now. I fully support this step but I have no illusions that it will solve the social and economic crisis faced by our people.

A social-democratic realignment built independently through civil society and committed to radical reform based on the Constitution will move the country in the direction of social and economic progress. This will take time but it is an urgent task. Such social democratic formations must engage in electoral politics.

Regrettably, our major trade unions have failed working people and therefore our road is much harder.

My comrades in @Zackie2024 and those outside it are committed to both a stable government now because it will buy us some time to work with others on a left social-democratic project.

Walking is DIFFERENT than “exercise” biochemically but it’s absolutely critical to metabolic health.

Walking is simply a body in low-grade motion, which is required throughout the day for optimal cellular function. Every time we get up and walk we help stimulate the glucose channels to go to the cell membrane and let glucose in to be processed.

We have to understand that exercising for a focused 45 min- 2 hours per day does not replace regular low-grade movement throughout the day… We need both.

We need to stimulation mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis through focused strength training, high intensity training, zone two training, etc… And we need to constitutively dispose of glucose throughout the day by moving our bodies regularly - at least every half hour - which could be walking for 3 min, a few air squats, whatever you want.

Part of the reasons Americans are so sick is because we sit all day and then think that a spurt of activity is all that matters… We need more movement. Our cells need regular movement, it sitting 80% of the time (which is what Americans are doing!).

Thank you ANC for not doing a ZANU-PF, accepting your 40%. The noisy ZANU-PF minded ANC members “left” and are part of the MK. Can’t believe MK leader would allow today’s result if he or his cronies were leading the ANC. It was coming regardless of lead the ANC leadership.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

I have decided to declare Friday, 27 October, a day of fasting, penance and prayer for #peace. I invite the various Christian confessions, members of other religious, and all who hold the cause of peace in the world at heart to participate.

The DA-run Independent Federal Province of the Western Cape literally carried us in all of the categories categories. Those damn counterrevolutionaries😡

Even our President has a refined pallet: he owns a super-mansion in Fresnaye (for those days he feels gatvol about South Africa & wants to escape from apartheid legacies in the other doomed 8 Provinces). But I digress🙃
