Lettre de félicitations du président américain Donald Trump au président Bensalah à l'occasion de la fête de l’indépendance du 5 juillet Pas un mot sur la révolution que mène le peuple algérien depuis plus de 4 mois, ce n’est évidement pas étonnant

clearly Team Warren spoke w former US diplomatic personnel. Note doubling size of the career diplo service &Peace Corps + opening new diplomatic posts. Also expand leadership training, much-needed & a major goal of former Secretary Colin Powell.

Calling Obama a peacenik as he expanded drone attacks was obviously absurd, but, guys, you know Trump loosened rules of engagement for air strikes and bombed Syria and Iraq over 10,000 times, leading to a 215% increase in civilian casualties, right?

While world focused on US/Iran, in Algeria protesters march for 18th consecutive Friday demanding (peacefully) drastic political reform, a civilian govt not dominated by military & sing national anthem as they carry national flag and banner for the Amazigh too.

when Damascus plays the unity card, SDF is at a disadvantage + US team should NOT assume Saudis understand Syrian tribal/social elements very well or that the local Syrians would initially view them sympathetically. Damascus has some good cards too, not just the USA/SDF/KSA.

US needs 2 decide its medium- & long-term goals w/ Iran. If medium-term goal is 2 deepen Iran's isolation, need 2 be patient til Iran overplays its hand & then exploit that diplomatically to build coalition to defend against, deter Iran --not just rely on US one-off airstrikes.

Algeria army chief warns that protest marchers carrying flags other than Algerian flag risk national unity - as the only flag in the marches that also belongs to Algerians is the Amazigh banner, he seems to raise sensitive identity issue in Algeria to divide protest movement.

If wants to ringfence language using history as a sanction, then I'd like him to pick up the quarrel with Ben Ferencz, the last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor, who calls Trumps separation policy a "crime against humanity".

3 items of note - Kaplan * regrets backing 2003 US invasion of Iraq; * stresses Middle East far less important than Asia in terms of needed US grand strategy; * never raises terrorism as threat to US - instead, he is focused on bigger US national security interests

And Sam Dagher's book, "Assad or We Burn the Country" is rich in stories and anecdotes, superb context and very readable, with sources carefully noted for those who would doubt. (i was not one of his many sources.)

very much worth the 5 minutes to read - major defense, economic and rule of law challenges lining up in front of Ankara.

But we know it's a government that tolerates no unauthorized opposition activities, that arrests and tortures on even small suspicions, that extorts citizens routinely and rejects any accountability. None good for any Syrian citizen, including returning refugees.
