  1. Trump and Hegseth will get pissed off, search for Argentina on YouTube and invade the Falklands.
  2. This could be one to watch. Already rioting going on in the western part of the country. Source is a good friend who lives there. Raila Odinga, towering Kenyan opposition figure, dies aged 80 Odinga, who ran five times for presidency and had profound influence on Kenyan politics, has died in India https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/15/raila-odinga-former-kenya-pm-dies
  3. My favorite was when Texas students shut down UT vs. the 500 meeting. Fun times. The "Zapatistas and Meca" were lame.
  4. Not Europe, but damn this made me smile. Was not sure where to put it.
  5. An elite military unit in Madagascar says it has seized power, ousting the country's embattled President Andry Rajoelina CAPSAT has suspended key democratic institutions but has promised elections within two years Madagascar's constitutional court named the unit's commander Col Michael Randrianirina as the country's new leader, but the president's office insists Rajoelina is still in charge Military has taken over. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cqxr3y3788pt
  6. My front yard looks like Mars.
  7. Military colonel announces that the armed forces are taking control in Madagascar ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar (AP) — A colonel in an elite military unit in Madagascar said Tuesday that the armed forces are taking power in the Indian Ocean nation in what appeared to confirm that President Andry Rajoelina had been removed in a coup. Col. Michael Randrianirina’s announcement in front of a ceremonial presidential palace in the capital, Antananarivo, came almost immediately after parliament voted to impeach Rajoelina, who has fled the country because of the rebellion by soldiers. https://apnews.com/article/madagascar-protests-rajoelina-ab1e1eb1aca45fe7e80e81314ebdb0c6
  8. Yep, the rebuild is going to be a bitch. And eyes will always on you. One question I have is where will these 30K troops going to live? Where is the resupply route? I would choose Rafah or over the shore.
  9. add to that unexploded ordinance. Just as bad as land mines.
  10. Lot of rubble around.
  11. Technically most of the nations are Asian. Exception is Egypt! Man, don't they teach geography at your University? Just messing with you.
  12. Um, Indonesia is Asia according to my map.
  13. Don't tempt me Nicole! You gonna come with? You can work the register. But alas, no lakes.
  14. Yep, surrounded by the IDF on 2 sides.
  15. Also Pakistan and Indonesia. Arab's are pretty good when the want to, but you need to have the right personnel. And yeah, gonna be some cash changing hands. Heard earlier force will be between 30-40 thousand troops. That is a lot of support they will need. We should open up a kebab stand.
  16. Yep, good friend (American) is married to a Palestinian. He is by no way a Trump supporter, but he welcomes this, or really any deal that ended this round of conflict. She is skeptical, mainly since the crap going on in the West Bank, but also welcomes it.
  17. I think it is huge, and no just optics. Hamas will be less open with attacking them, and the cultural differences will be less, increasing communication. Another benefit is the truth of conditions, highly censored, will filter out to the other nations. Speak to an Emirati, the really do not know/follow what Gaza was like before October 7th.
  18. There has never been a large reconstruction effort or a peacekeeping force deployed to Gaza.
  19. The deployment of Arab peacekeepers is a big step. That is what the meeting in Egypt today is about.
  20. It will get worse @Brian Fantana. This is when old problems come to the surface. No where have I read they were collaborators. It is a separate tribe.
  21. Hahaha, I applied to be a researcher for the Bosnia tribunals. There are multiple parts. 1 is the legal team, the other is in the field doing the hard research and forensics work. That is what I wanted.
