Your friendly reminder that loud mouths on Twitter do not represent the country. Most people do not take conspiracy theories seriously, and would never dream of hurting their neighbors. The world has not gone mad. These eccentric extremists have always been around.

Praying for the alliance pilots & sailors spending New Year’s Eve preparing for war with the Houthis.

Faux pas, camarades! No thumbs up for #Napoleon. I did not expect good history, but I did expect good story telling. Ça ira, pensais-je. I am, in general, a fan of @Sir_RidleyScott. But this was a fail, despite the incredible drama of Boney's life. 1/8

Please be cautious. As yet there is no corroboration to this exclusive from @Tg1RAI, but if confirmed, this is sensational: "@ashrafghani, @MDustom @Atamohammadnoor received MILLIONS from #Qatar to hand the country over to the #Taliban without a fight." #Afghanistan
Italian journalist Filippo Rossi who has worked for years in Afghanistan shared documents with Italian @Tg1Rai proving that President @ashrafghani, @MDustom @Atamohammadnoor received MILLIONS from Qatar to hand the country over to the Taliban without a fight 1/5
