If they did this, Iâm guessing many Foriegn countries would revoke traffic rights to US carriers almost immediately. Likely both cargo and pax. With fuel costs where they are, just imagine what that would do to the âBig 3â + FedEx/UPS. đ the level of incompetence in the US govt is stunning - but yeah please do this. Letâs see what happens đ€·đ»ââïž
Sen. Kelly: DOD policy prohibits discussion of even 'controlled unclassified information' on unsecured devices. Are you both aware of that?
DNI Gabbard: I haven't read that policy

BREAKING: Senator Jon Ossoff just delivered one of the strongest and succinct rebukes weâve seen of the chaos, incompetence and greed that has defined Trumpâs presidency. Retweet so all Americans hear this message.
Itâs historically inaccurate and dangerous for @RepRonnyJackson to claim that âEastern DRC used to be Rwanda.â
I really want to set the record straight:
1.Modern borders of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) were established during the Berlin Conference (1884â1885), when European powers carved up Africa without regard for precolonial kingdoms. The Congo, including its eastern provinces (North and South Kivu), was recognized as part of the Congo Free State, under King Leopold II, not Rwanda.
2.While precolonial kingdoms like Rwanda, Buganda, and others had influence that extended across regions, no modern legal claim exists tying eastern Congo to Rwanda. Colonial rule, first by Belgium (in Congo) and Germany (then Belgium, in Rwanda) further formalized these distinctions.
https://t.co/YUUQMETG2s independence in 1960, the DRCâs borders were internationally recognized. UN Resolution 2625 later reaffirmed that existing colonial borders must be respected to maintain peace and sovereignty in post-colonial Africaâa principle known as uti possidetis juris.
4.The claim that eastern Congo âused to be Rwandaâ has long been used to justify Rwandan military incursions, including the backing of rebel groups responsible for destabilization, massacres, and resource lootingâdocumented in multiple UN Group of Experts reports and the UN Mapping Report (2010).
So Rwanda has no historical, legal, or moral claim to Congolese territory. Repeating such claims only emboldens regional aggression and violates Congolese sovereignty recognized under International Laws.
