    BREAKING Good news for a change: confirming that son Salah and his family are finally out of Riyadh and on their way to US, travel ban lifted. Too bad Salah had to endure that cruel and bizarre greeting with MBS first.

    fully knows the galvanising powers of social media. This is an attempt aimed at silencing the poor, who have a lot to complain about, through pricing them out of access. gov, again, puts the Internet back in the hands of the privileged.

    Syria's communication minister is still pushing for raising internet prices, if happened this will for sure lead to serious, never see before consequences, as we are talking about over 200% increase in prices, some say up to 1000% more

    لا تصالح ولو ناشدتك القبيلة باسم حزن "الجليلة" أن تسوق الدهاءَ وتُبدي -لمن قصدوك- القبول سيقولون: ها أنت تطلب ثأرًا يطول فخذ -الآن- ما تستطيع: قليلاً من الحق.. في هذه السنوات القليلة إنه ليس ثأرك وحدك، لكنه ثأر جيلٍ فجيل وغدًا.. سوف يولد من يلبس الدرع كاملةً، يوقد النار شاملةً

    As an academic, I have increasingly come to find that Political Science & International Relations theories & concepts have less explanatory & predictive power in understanding world politics in the Trump/MBS era, than familiarity with The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Narcos & Gomorrah

    Last wk State Dept was careful to say Saudis should *support* an investigation Now Pompeo: Saudis are "going to do an investigation, and when the investigation comes out, we’ll evaluate it..It’s reasonable to give them a handful of days more to complete it, so they get it right"

    Also, as reports come of planned cross-line convoy via Damascus (): U.S. planners would do well to realize that the leverage they've allowed – as in other enclaves to which GoS restricted access – is infinitely regenerating. It can be used again and again.

    Insofar as Moscow and Damascus have identified deplorable conditions in Rukban as a point of leverage on Washington to force withdrawal from Tanaf – and they have – seems the easiest way to neutralize that leverage would be to get aid to these people so their children don't die.

    Have to agree with that $100m payment isn't 'blood money'. It was approved on 1 Oct, before he disappeared. We had wind of it on 3 Oct but weren't allowed to divulge it back then.
