  1. The libs are just jealous that Trump was able to secure the critical Azerbaijani support when Biden couldn’t 🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿

Mohammad was 14; Suleiman a year younger, according to hospital authorities. They were killed on Saturday morning and their bodies were taken to Al Shifa hospital. Video showed the distraught father of one of the boys cradling his lifeless body in his arms.

    From less than 24 hours ago. The Board of Peace is a total facade

  3. There goes Mongolia playing both sides, used to it after being stuck between two superpowers for a century.

    Trump couldn’t even get the real baddies. He got a bunch of knock off villains like Lukashenko

    How embarrassing for Argentina to be the sole Latin American country on board with this.

    Much can be said about the shortcomings of Biden’s foreign policy, but I think it’s worth remembering the Summit for Democracy for the simple achievement of actually ensuring all invited countries actually participated in the initiative, or if any declined, it was through quiet diplomacy rather than very public crash-outs on twitter. The map also provides a nice visual shorthand for America’s declining stature with liberal democracies in the world, even as America finds new friends among a handful of autocracies.

    The Summit for Democracy was a polite gabfest held largely over Zoom that ultimately was inconsequential and did not survive Biden’s departure from the White House, however it never really aspired to be more than a polite gabfest and so it was successful in the sense. The Board of Peace meanwhile is floundering and illustrates the titanic mismatch between Trump’s desires and what he can actually achieve, and the mounting ineptitude of American diplomacy in the Trump era.
