I’ve seen this with my own eyes, flying to Beijing at night on a SecDef Gates trip. Creepy and powerful to see IRL. I remember thinking: my god, the entire country is a prison. All those people. #Olympics

This is the Korean Peninsula at night. The bottom, awash in light, is the free and democratic South. The North is in complete darkness save for a pinprick of light in Pyongyang. Keep the darkness in mind while watching the North's Olympic charm offensive

I see lots of questions, so I'll just add that every administration has tried to or threatened to fuck with Stripes, cut its budget. The political press secretaries can't stand they can't control it's content and turn it into a pro-White House rag.

It’s stunning the Trump administration hid the details of the deal they signed until after it was signed basically. Zero press conferences in Washington. After 18 years, Trump just committed to a total withdrawal by next April. No WH announcement. No Pentagon briefing.

I appreciate Congress's renewed urgency for Afghanistan oversight responsiblities. Just give me a minute to pull up 10,000 photos of completely empty Congressional hearings on Afghanistan for the past 10 years or so since about the time Petraeus left...

Unbelievable. The correct question to this was a simple: “no, of course not, don’t be absurd, we’re not handing over our former ambassador to Vladimir Freakin Putin, over my dead body” Instead, Trump’s team: We’re considering it.
