Benin coup attempt to oust President Talon foiled by loyalist troops, minister says A presidential adviser tells the BBC that President Patrice Talon is in a safe location.

The instability of West Africa along the Sahel driven in part by insurgencies and Russian interference is a huge gap in “liberal democratic” foreign policy.

France deserves a lot of the blame.

From the @wsj.com chief foreign correspondent

A Tumblr post by user taffywabbit. The entire text is as follows: I think more people should make fursonas and I'm dead serious. the process of self-exploration that naturally comes along with creating a funny little critter to represent yourself is SO valuable, as you consider the types of animals you vibe with and what kind of aesthetic/colours/personality/etc suit you and stuff like that (fun fact this process is how I figured out I was transgender lol. not saying that will happen to you but just proving that you can learn a LOT about yourself through this design process and any subsequent design changes) and then when you're all done, you have a little freak you can do whatever you want with! edit them poorly into memes, commission lavish oil paintings of them to hang in your mansion, use them as a personal online mascot, design a fucked up evil twin for them to fight, soak them in milk and throw them at the wall, anything really. same stuff some people do with fandom characters they really like, except it's 100% yours and nobody can tell you you're doing it wrong! also now you have an animal your friends can associate with you and they'll send you funny pics/videos of that animal that make them think of you. literally it's just wins all the way down for you and everybody you associate with. everyone should have one of these things!!

very good tumblr post about why to make a fursona, and in the replies, a couple followups on how to make a fursona

Normal American foreign policy: "Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East"

MAGA foreign policy: "Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East (derogatory)"

And then Israel expresses surprise that its years of bootlicking Trump don't prevent him from selling F-35s to KSA.
