What Happened to Russia’s Troops in Africa?
Russia intervenes in Africa not just for control over resources, but to compete against the West for influence. Russia can avoid sanctions and global condemnation by having African countries vote with them. Russia uses private military companies that in theory are independent, but in reality are arms of the Russian state.

When drones destroyed the desert silence: Israel pulls out all stops on Egypt border
“On some days, as many as 20 drones might fly across the Egyptian border into Israel from different points. It does not matter that much if Israel shoots some of them down or uses electronic warfare spectrum weapons to get others to crash or land in an open field to be seized. As long as a certain percentage of the cargo gets through, the smugglers can make millions.
THE SMUGGLERS also learned that they could send a vast amount of weapons across the border. Some of these weapons might be for Arab Israelis or Bedouin. Still, others might be eventually destined for Hamas or even for being transferred to terrorist groups in the Palestinian Authority-controlled portions of the West Bank.”

Economist reacts to people bashing economic science
Economists have simplified models that are very simple compared to the complexity of the real world. This means a model will inevitably leave out parts of the economic world. But, trying to fit too much in, makes the model unreadable and it’s hard to tell what’s happening in the model and therefore it doesn’t teach us much. A good model helps explain something that is happening, even if it is flawed and doesn’t explain everything.

The Future of Energy Has Arrived — Just Not in the U.S.
As the U.S. backs away from clean energy and limiting global warming on the president’s false belief that climate change is a hoax, China is stepping in as a leader globally, leading on the issue and selling its technologies and products to countries around the world. Despite its leadership and its massive renewable production, it still uses a lot of dirty coal. China’s clean energy partnerships around the world give it influence. The Trump-led U.S. is banking on past fuels and energy, while China is advancing into the future.

The Perils of Viewing Psilocybin Strictly As a Psychiatric Medication
“While the most common uses of “magic mushrooms” might strike politicians or regulators as frivolous, that judgment is not enough to justify treating those personal choices as crimes.”

‘Operation Midway Blitz’ Agents Pepper-Sprayed a Chicago Family on a Grocery Run
“Less than two days after a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction to restrict immigration agents from using riot control weapons, including chemical irritants, a Chicago-area couple and their 1-year-old daughter were pepper-sprayed during their Saturday morning grocery run.
On Saturday morning, the Veraza family was on its way to Sam’s Club in Cicero, a Chicago suburb near the epicenter of the federal government’s immigration enforcement campaign known as “Operation Midway Blitz.” Upon hearing a helicopter and car horns, which are often used by community members to signal immigration enforcement activity in progress, they decided to leave. That’s when a black pickup truck, captured on video by the car’s passenger, drove past their vehicle while a masked agent sprayed a chemical irritant through the car’s open driver’s side window. A cloud of spray hit the driver, Rafael Veraza, in the face, affecting him, his wife, and his 1-year-old daughter, Ariana, in the back seat. The video then cuts to Rafael and his wife trying to wash out Ariana’s eyes as she cries.
…
In response to questions regarding the incident, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin sent a statement to the A.P. claiming “there was no crowd control or pepper spray deployed in a Sam’s Club parking lot.””
