🔴Thread: Understanding Doval Doctrine
With the military and technological advancement, the concept of mutually assured destruction has become an almost obsolete idea. In the 21st century, we are witnessing something different, a new kind of warfare that is Hybrid Warfare.

It is a multi-pronged approach that is employed to harm the enemy to the maximum at all levels, be it economically, politically, diplomatically, ideologically or in any other form. India, under its National Security Advisor (NSA), #AjitDoval...,
Today, #Armenia's FM Ararat Mirzoyan discussed the further development of cooperation in the energy sector with #Iran's FM Hossein Amir Abdollahian in #Geneva. On February 14, #Russian Gazprom reduced the volume of gas sent to Armenia, announcing that the pipeline was blocked.
1/1 Until today, there was no official message from #Gazprom that the blockage has been removed. And that means that RA also consumes gas at the expense of warehouses. The gas pipeline coming from Iran is able to almost provide the internal demand of Armenia.
1/2 Armenia's SSC Armen Grigoryan said in response to our question that will find solutions and alternatives if it has problems in the gas sector.

Having listened to all of #Putin's speech yesterday, it was clear his intention was to portray the US (and allies) as aggressors, and how #Russia only wanted peace.
The world's heard this before.

(1/3) "The amazing thing about this district is about 50% of households in it have a cop, a firefighter, a veteran, or a first responder living in it. And when you talk about crime being the top issue at 28% and inflation right behind it, that’s what voters are concerned about…

During the first week of October, we suffered enormous pains, hunger and thirst and endured all sorts of humiliation when the @UNHCRLibya closed their doors in the face of the most needy people.
But we resisted and continued to be our own voices despite the difficulties.

For those reasons, and others, I considered Switzerland an anomaly, hardly a model to be extrapolated to other nations. But I see its fantastic non-car transport options have a lot to teach the world.
I was staying near a village with a population of 780 in the canton of Vaud, in the foothills of the Jura Mountain. To get there from the #Geneva airport, I hopped on to a high-speed train, an escalator ride away from the baggage carousel...
“ #Switzerland has the best public transit in the world.” 🇨🇭
That’s what many transport experts told me when I was researching my book #Straphanger.
After 6 weeks of getting to know the country’s network, I’m beginning to think they have a point. Here’s why… 🧵🪡

I'd been to Switzerland a few times before, and was duly impressed with its rail network, and the transit in its larger cities...
...esp. #Zurich, with its trams. "There's little reason to travel in an automotive cocoon when, for a fare of only a few francs, an efficient, stately tramway will provide transportation from point A to B at a level of comfort an emperor might have envied."

@ICRC reminds parties in Ukraine: When international armed conflict breaks out and people find themselves at the mercy of belligerent States, the #GenevaConventions provide a minimum safeguard to protect their dignity, physical & psychological integrity. icrc.org/en/document/uk…
The #GenevaConventions protect all persons in the power of the belligerents by taking their different situations into account – combatant, civilian, POW, medical personnel, sick, wounded, woman, child, mercenary, persons w/ disabilities…
Here is how 👇

Here is how 👇
blogs.icrc.org/law-and-policy…
The prisoner of war (POW) regime in the Third Geneva Convention is primarily designed to protect members of the armed forces in the enemy hands. Since they are disarmed and no longer a threat, detaining powers must treat them humanely and in line with their role as combatants.
This particular graphic has been circulating & widely used for some months. It's misinformative & requires further clarity:
1⃣ The US is one of 194 signatories to the IHR (2005), its biggest update since 1969. These regs *do not* 'override & supercede' the US Constitution...
1⃣ The US is one of 194 signatories to the IHR (2005), its biggest update since 1969. These regs *do not* 'override & supercede' the US Constitution...
2⃣ The US ammendments to the IHR concern greater collaboration & commucation in the event of a future PHEIC & detail nothing about allowing the WHO to bypass sovereignty.
Other nations can object or make reservations to these ammendments set out within Article 59-64 of the IHR.

3⃣ No vote will take place in #Geneva #Switzerland at the 75th WHA on IHR ammendments nor sign any Treaty into international law.
The Assembly are set to 'consider' these ammendments. There has to be time for other WHO nations to respond & make reservations.

‼️.@mod_russia: According to the available reliable information, the Security Service of #Ukraine (SSU) is preparing another provocation to accuse the servicemen of the #Russian Federation of so-called war crimes with the mass destruction of civilians in the #Odessa region.
‼️.@mod_russia: It’s planned to dress one of the SSU units in the uniform of 🇷🇺 servicemen & make a demonstrative shooting of local residents. 🖼 & 🎞 footage of this action w/alleged "🇷🇺 atrocities" will be published by 🇺🇦 and Western news agencies to immediately promote fakes.
‼️.@mod_russia: The upcoming provocation of the #Ukrainian authorities demonstrates their inhumane attitude to the fate of peaceful citizens of #Ukraine and testifies to the complete disregard for all norms of #morality and international humanitarian law.

Sunday border scramble in the sun, near Malval in Geneva. Political borders seeming dauntingly less trivial this week, as we think of people in Europe fleeing to safety across borders, while soldiers invade across others. #Geography #BorderNerds 🇫🇷🇨🇭
No. 138 We chased down lots of border stones in a marshy wood, of different ages. This one was apparently moved to save it from being swept away by the stream, so the marks on top indicate this, showing that the border follows the stream after this point.🇨🇭🇫🇷 #Border #Geography
No. 139 Super strange F (France) engraved backwards; G (Geneva) presumably recarved over previous mark/sign🇨🇭🇫🇷 #Border #Geography
Well, I’m up far too early, so I may as well tweet about the US-Russia discussions happening in #Geneva today.
I’ve been reluctant to comment too much on the growing tensions; I’m wary of allowing Russia to set the narrative and that’s what we’ve been seeing so far.

Russia is the party creating this escalation; Russia instigated the war in Ukraine in the first place; Russia alone can stop it.
Any discussion of the talks without mentioning those facts, but underlining Russia’s “demands” or supposed reasoning for the troop buildup…

on Ukraine’s border is allowing Russia to set the narrative. End of story.
That’s why I’ve been glad to see US officials firmly reject Moscow’s demands for security guarantees regarding Ukraine’s NATO membership and US forces in Central Europe.

1. I missed @maddow today and just watched the interview with @jrpsaki. She made a pronouncement in the @StateDept presser 2014 that changed my life. She announced the #YPG #YPJ were not considered listed within #PKK #FTO designation and the next day, I went to war against #ISIS.
2. I knew they would win. But they needed our help then and they need it now. Too many times we have betrayed the #Kurds and it's more than Kurds in the new #Syria in #NES we will betray. #Sunni #Arabs, #Christians & #Ezidi can create #peace with the #Alawi with strong US support
3. the extortion practiced by #Assad will become meaningless. People are tired of ##war and #Turkey-backed #Islamists have got to go. Assad and the Russians can't do it because Assad represents an existential threat to Sunni #Druze, Kurds, Ezidi and #Christian #Syrians.
