A sobering, clear assessment in @pnas.org of the current US policy of international student exclusion. "The damage would not end with academic careers. A discovery becomes a vaccine, a company, and an industry only when someone commercializes it, and that work runs on the same imported talent."

Macron’s tenure has been a failure. None of France’s political, social or economic problems have been bettered. + his FP has been very mundane. In fact, he added to 🇫🇷’s party & political fragmentation. His only success is that he beat Le Pen twice. An abysmal record—an indictment of centrism!

Been in MENA for a bit more than a week now, and the number of Chinese made cars—Geely, BYD, MG, etc, etc—has skyrocketed compared to just last year. A few years back, French/Italian cars dominated the market. No longer they do. It’s mostly Chinese cars with some high end German ones.

The nickname middle easterners have chosen to call Trump is either “mahboul” or “majnoon” 2 different countries, the same nickname And both nicknames mean the same thing—i.e., crazy or insane. We are so not a laughingstock. FWIW, MENA hated GW Bush, but they didn’t call him insane or crazy

Proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump and Co. conducted a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States out of its presidential election — ie attempted an autogolpe, or "self-coup" — was in the public record. The facts and the law were never in question. Only if America would follow them.

This argument is never going to die, is it? “The west help create the conditions that led to Putin’s rise to power” is at best a necessary, but utterly insufficient condition. It’s a lazy argument that sounds quite good, but, if I may say, a fallacious/flawed one
