| 2023-01-18 |

Donald Lu, the United States assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asian Affairs, noted the progress as he wrapped a weekend visit to Bangladesh. Bilateral tensions arose in the wake of the U.S. sanctions on the Rapid Action Battalion  (RAB) and comments by the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft |

| #4 It was 12 years, but even 1 in Houston is a big deal in the states. Certainly, the BLM riots were expensive here. You could call what is happening in Chicago extrajudicial in a sense as Lightfoot policy contributes but the trigger person is more likely wearing a bandanna and various Nike products as opposed to having a badge. If anyone kills wearing a Footlocker uniform, on the other hand, I would call that definitely, extrajudicial. |

| #3 This is what they call 600/12=50 That's less than 1 per week. Better than Chicago, for sure. |

| #2 Home Minister Lu needs to follow Ted Cruz’s Twitter account. He is walking by trolling opportunities galore is his response to the US call for free and fair elections in Bangladesh. |

| #1 I thought that the threat of sanctions was what was important? And that when we actually implement them, this removes our leverage? Or is that just when Trump does it? |
