I agree massively with the idea of epistemic breakdown, but not that there is a solution where verification happens individually. That's not what is happening, nor a viable solution [1/?]

@dailymaverick.co.za 🇺🇸🇺🇳 The UN chief has warned President Donald Trump against his idea of taking over war-torn Gaza and resettling Palestinians. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday the US should avoid ethnic cleansing and continue working towards a two-state solution.

🇺🇸🇵🇸 Of the many dumb things said by the White House this week, #1 for Wednesday must be Donald Trump’s suggestion that the US “take over” Gaza. Trump proposed levelling it out to “develop it” while speaking at a Tuesday press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Today's @dailymaverick.co.za First Thing: 🇺🇸🇨🇩 Secretary of State Marco Rubio – we’re still getting used to that one – has instructed Paul Kagame that the US wants a ceasefire in Congo. A combined M23 rebel and Rwandan military offensive has overwhelmed SANDF troops in the region and captured Goma.

Starting today, I'm going to try my best to post the overnight snippets from the award-winning @dailymaverick.co.za First Thing newsletter, AKA my baby. I will also be trying to do this in the morning. Just not today...

As a newsletter editor, but very far from the west coast, this is indeed a fantastic idea.

I was wondering why there'd been no Twitter pile-on after a Wash Post piece I posted exposing Kagame's persecution of Rwandan exiles' families. Then I realised. Those "outraged Rwandan patriots" who always troll me are intel agents and policemen. They tweet in govt hours. It's Xmas break. Figures.

Peter Perla, the pioneer of professional #wargaming, passed away last night. Peter indelibly shaped the wargaming profession - from writing the seminal book on wargaming to leading the field for decades. He will be terribly missed - both as a colleague, mentor, and friend.
