@MichLKosinski I’d say the numbers are very understated. I mean, how much did his family make on the Emirati $1.4 TRILLION AI investment routed through Kushner and Witkoff’s sons crypto brokerage?
@MsEntropy Hmmm, I lived in Morocco for almost four years. Can I get your perspective or the book’s persepdrife on the conflict? Like Cliff Note’s version?
@TiffanyFong Like honestly, is it fake news that naked dudes were bicycling around Seattle or Portland or wherever? Like we can argue about a lot of Sh*t but where does that make sense?
@PiperK USAID was a miserable failure as a whole. I don’t agree with it being 100% axed, it needed strong reform, but I doubt if State had the leadership to make meaningful change.
@PiperK The problem was USAID and the State Dept evolved to spending money being a success rather than ROI. One purpose of USAID was promoting US interests and we lost sight of that. We also spent money trying to impose our culture and beliefs on other cultures that weren’t ready for it.
@TiffanyFong It turned out that teaching the Afghans proper hygiene and food preparation resulted in them taking solid shits for the first time in their lives. They thought it was some bio attack.
@TiffanyFong Funny and true story from Afghanistan. Rumors started in an Afghan Special Forces unit that the US was conducting some sort of biological weapons test on the Afghans. When the US heard about it they started an investigation.
