  1. Some of the fall out from this event. 1- Diplomatic ties are fucked. 2- If you were on a special visa as a Pakistani, ya gotta leave India. Now. 3- Halt of the Indus River agreement. No water going down into Pakistan. #3 is massive. What is the water treaty India has suspended with Pakistan? In response to Monday's deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir, India said it would suspend the Indus Water Treaty - which has been in place since 1960 and survived decades of hostile incidents between the two countries. The treaty governs water sharing of the water supply from the Indus river and its distributaries. Under the agreement, India has control over the eastern rivers, and Pakistan the western ones. It also allows each country certain uses of the rivers allocated to the other, The agreement also stipulates that India must, with few exceptions, allow water from the western rivers to flow downstream into Pakistan. The suspension of the agreement is likely to impact millions of Pakistanis who depend on the treaty for their water supply and livelihoods.

  4. With storms like this you know some trailer somewhere is doomed.
  5. Yeah, I know, but DOS has an energy element. Think Ukraine.
  6. Yeah, I just saw the new org chart. One area I am interested is where some of the growth development projects are going to land. And I also heard some medical assistance projects could move to CDC. Which is funny. That was recommended a long time ago since there has to be CDC involvement either way. Just move a few COR's and Loggies there.
  7. AF is back. I saw the proposed org chart.
  8. Yeah, and some of those offices could be folded into others. the only one that surprises me is AF.
  9. What is the average for private prisons in Texas? Also, speculation there will be more CECOTs built.
  10. I have a good buddy down there. An advisor to their police. He said there are rumors of one, but no one has seen it. $6M a month is the gossip. The question is what Agency is paying it? DHS? DOS? DOJ?

  14. I believe Maldives was under African Affairs. Australia according to DOD is Indo-Pacom. State is using their map vs. the one they had. For instance, North Africa for DOD is part of CENTCOM. For State it was African Affairs.
  15. I thought his wife worked for Fox. Um, so it is a leak. Meanwhile others in the pentagon are being fired for "leaking."
  16. 3 out of 4 and a win on Patriots day. Yeah, just the White sox, but fuck it.
  17. Oceania falls under Pacific. Same with DOD. Africa is DOA. It now reports to the White House Security Council outside of State. Major cuts coming to Canada. Not clear yet where they will report to.
