Elon Musk	“Seems like an opportune moment to bring up the Fermi Paradox, aka 'Where are the aliens?' Really odd that we see no sign of them. Btw, please don't mention the pyramids. Stacking stone blocks is not evidence of an advanced civilization. The rumor that I'm building a spaceship to get back to my home planet Mars is totally untrue. The ancient Egyptians were amazing, but if aliens built the pyramids, they would've left behind a computer or something”	X Elon Musk	2015
Benjamin Netanyahu	“Benjamin Netanyahu is "elegant and charming", according to a cable apparently penned by an official at the U.S. embassy in Egypt, "but never keeps his promises".”	Wikileaks Benjamin Netanyahu	2010

Document:Outside In: The Trump Administration’s Plan to Remake the Middle East	Article	10 October 2018	Ted Snider	Benjamin Netanyahu refers to his doctrine as Outside In: first you pacify the Outside and ally with the Sunni Arab states (Egypt and Saudi Arabia) outside of Israel, then, in exchange, you extract a peace plan out of them that you then impose Inside on a Palestine now devoid of allies and leave it helpless to hold out against a peace plan forced on the Palestinians by Donald Trump.
Document:Ukraine and How the West Treats Comparable Events in Satellite and Non-Satellite Countries Differently	article	27 January 2014	Stephen Gowans	A pithy, succinct illustration of how, in matters of foreign affairs, the language and terminology of western media coverage changes according to the status of the government/country being reported on, as either approved or unapproved of by western geo-political interests. More subtle than "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter", but analogous.
