Any concerns about the DeVos link to Trump ?
I’m not sure how that even figures in here. Can you expand and what you think are the concerns? Also, I assume you are referring to Betsy DeVos who is Trump’s Secretary of Education pick.
Nope. Erik is completely upfront in/about his work.
I’m guessing that because she is the sister of Prince, and his perhaps connections to Russia, somehow tie Trump into Russia as well. Is that your concern?
It Sure Seems Like Egypt and the UAE Are at War In Libya That title is really kind of misleading because it almost seems like they are saying Egypt and the UAE are fighting each other, but that is not the case.
Within that article is this:
There are two main regimes competing for international recognition in Libya — the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord and its rival Gen. Khalifa Haftar, the head of the new Libyan National Army, along with his allies in Tobruk.
While the United Nations and the United States have backed the GNA, Egypt and other regional powers including the UAE have strongly supported Haftar and his Tobruk government. But until recently it appeared that Haftar’s backers mostly supported him only indirectly — with weapons, supplies and training for his troops.
Now it seems increasingly likely that Haftar’s boosters are directly involved in the fighting in a sustained way.
Going back to the original article there is this:
The United Arab Emirates strongly supports Gen. Khalifa Haftar and his regime in Tobruk, one of two major factions vying for power in Libya. The first Emirati AT-802 appeared at an unidentified Libyan air base, albeit with its national markings hidden, in June 2015.
So I guess you have to ask yourself, do you trust the U.S., lead by Obama, and the U.N. more than you trust Trump? For me at least, that question is an extremely easy one, resounding my trust lies with Trump. Thus the ties to DeVos is moot.
I was really struggling to fully understand the dynamics there, mainly because they only had the one paragraph in the first article linked. But to me it sounds like DeVos is aiding the the right side in this fight in Libya. Based on what I garnered from the above from the second link.
