- fred_is_fred 1 week agoThe article makes it seem like not a lot was agreed to or was agreed to in terms so vague to not be as useful as the headline makes it seem.
- gumbojuice 1 week agoWhy is it called a deal instead of eg. a treaty? Less formalism may make it easier to achieve but sounds like easier to discern as well.
- closewith 1 week agoRwanda denies being at war with DRC as they're using proxy forces, so it's probably just for the optics.
- bryanrasmussen 1 week agoThe deterioration of language of late has completely devalued treaty, combined of course with reckless disregard of treaties by certain parties, but, due to the valorization of idiots and deal-makers the word deal has become the preferred term of art.

- mslansn 1 week agoWe are surrounded by good news, but mass media profits from you feeling anxious and insecure, so you only get to read about the worst.

- antonymoose 1 week agoI disbelieve the DRC and Rwandan leaders met in the White House and signed the deal and had a PR moment with the deal brokered by the Trump administration?
So, yes?
