  1. Nah. Where is Nicole? She might have moved onto the big time. Oceans are so much cooler than sewers we call lakes.
  2. I stand corrected. I should have said DC based staff. Local staff are critical and probably not enough. As long as they are real people and not some third cousin on an internship.
  3. Meh, we have sharpies now. Fuck it.
  4. I guess this thread is as good as any. I would drop this in the Palestine/Israle war or protest threads, but shit I don't know whats what anymore. OK, so we are going to take a group that has lived in Gaza since before Jesus. We are going to move them to, wait for it, two really fucked up countries where tribalism IS a major issue and both are experiencing internal wars and have large Jihadi groups. So take a group that needs to move because they are to extreme, drop them into places (check my notes) full of extremists? WTF? I am at a loss on this one. I have worked in Sudan. Yeah, not a fun place. Somalia? LMAO. Puntland ain't bad from what I know but there is nothing there. Add in Ethiopia wanting the ports? Great fucking plan. Bold is mine. JERUSALEM (AP) — The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations for resettling Palestinians uprooted from the Gaza Strip under President Donald Trump’s proposed postwar plan, American and Israeli officials told The Associated Press. The contacts with Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland reflect the determination by the U.S. and Israel to press ahead with a plan that has been widely condemned and raised serious legal and moral issues. Because all three places are poor, and in some cases wracked by violence, the proposal also casts doubt on Trump’s stated goal of resettling Gaza’s Palestinians in a “beautiful area.” https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-gaza-trump-somaliland-sudan-somalia-575e03aaa0c487bae2fbadfdef8f5ca3
  5. See, he needs 15 cuz another rep has 14, and they made fun of him when he only had 13. The size of these staffs are funny. We have entire embassies with less people than on a staff. The number of US Government officials in a country can triple when a congressional delegation comes to visit.
  6. Yep. Where Punta Cana is located you have two massive bodies or water fighting for control. Every year boats trying to get to Puerto Rico are lost there. The thing about Punta Cana is when the development companies went in they were supposed to build up infrastructure. Hospital, etc. They never did it. It is a shit place that should never have happened. The DR used to grow a lot of food there. It is a great example of Colonial Tourism. "Hey, lets fuck up this Caribbean place that is gorgeous and make it fake to look like what we think the Caribbean should look like." What about the locals? "Ah fuck em"
  7. The water there is really treacherous. Fuck up and you are heading towards Puerto Rico real quick.
  8. Yep. Was just coming to ask that. Um, read the title folks. Nah, who cares, lets argue here. Surly gonna Surly.
  9. Agree on Latin America. There is not a counter to China. Nukes, plus China has Pakistan to cause fuckery. India is hemmed in.
  10. Africa is not Asia. Counter pls. Syria ceases to be a nation if the fuckery continues. KSA, Jordan, Turkey take over along tribal lines. Israel takes (already did) the Heights) If Putin goes ISIS goes.
  11. Bullshit. In some ways. we do it because we are the only ones who 1- care, 2- give a fuck, 3- were fed media. Pre 1990? Nope. Sally Struthers and the Horn of Africa. Prop up who? And India will implode under its own weight. Sorry, missed you. Added you to a discussion. Lets take it there so we don't offend anyone. THIS IS FOR FUCKING NEWS.... Said the Lake Monster. Give me my 3.50.
  12. @bolverk @Parliament @956 Worldwide @atomheartbevo OK. So lets play a game. With the US changing our international focus, where are the powder kegs. I have said watch the Balkans (perfect Triangle of fuckery and true believers). So where else? North Africa? Nah, they are gonna sell shit to whomever. Peru/Ecuador? Those fucks don't have fuel to fight a war. My place to watch per continent that impact us. Play or don't play. Tired of every thread becoming the same shit. Whatever is going on today, we have to think about tomorrow. 1- Africa- The Great Lakes/Nile. Ethiopia vs. Egypt vs Sudan. Add in the Rift Valley. Kenya says Commonwealth my Ugandan brethren (meanwhile Rwanda goes forward and make a new Kingdom. 2- Asia. (India/Pakistan is easy. So is Taiwan. Does anyone care about Burma? So my wild card is Oman. Sultan dies, Iran and Saudis want control. Both can claim it. We think of Hormuz. Nah, its Salalah. (Russia collapses, we don't care about Mongolia) 3- Americas (North)- Coup in Costa Rica. Laugh, but shit happens. Gringo investment is not the same across the country. Limon is poor. Ticos talk about it. Panama is easy. Meh, 82nd with support goes in. 4- Americas (South) Argentina and Chile. Over some obscure pass in the Andes. Lots of minerals in them there mountains. But two subs fight in the Magellan strait. Benefit for the surly 1%. Hot chicks. 5- Australia. This is a hard one, since so many places are not on anyone's map. But a change in regime going pro-china would hurt the Indo-Pacom push. So. Lets pick one. Guam. A nice little airbase and add modern anti-air/antiship. Has the atoll to build on. 6- Europe. Well here is the shit show. Balkans. Not your usual shit. Orban tries to build a new empire? Nah. Sweden goes all Carl Gustav? Nah. Shit starts in Bosnia, moves south, hits Bulgaria/Romania, Greece feels its oats and here comes the historical power and says fuck you all. Turkey. Pushes to recreate a vision of the Ottoman empire. This is the scariest. While moving into the EU/NATO countries via influence, it pushes ideology NE and military into Syria/ North Iraq. Caucus Oil Baby.) Please note I left Medical and Environmental off this. TL:DR OU Sux.
  13. Yep, it takes 2-3 generations for Europeans to fight. Their wars are mean. We look at Africa and wars are continual, but when was the last time a capitol city was leveled? Watch the Balkans. It is the perfect place for the split and a re-ignition. The stuff in the Serbian part of Bosnia is not good. 2-3 years we hear the Serbs start talking Kosovo again, especially if we leave. Oh well, what we can predict is Italy under a right wing government will get involved, send troops and get their asses kicked.
  14. This man speaks the truth. Sit in the river, keep 2/3 of the can submerged. Once you get out, go sit in the sun and say I am done. Any rain heading your way?
  15. More my family's style. "And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so" "Hush, mbuachaill, hush and listen," and his cheeks were all aglow "I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon" [Chorus] At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon [Verse 2] "And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, where the gathering is to be" "At the old spot by the river; quite well known to you and me" "One more word for signal token; whistle out the marching tune With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon" [Chorus] At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon [Verse 3] Out from many a mud wall cabin; eyes were watching through the night Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed warning light Murmurs rang along the valleys to the banshee's lonely croon And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon See pop shows near Austin Get tickets as low as $132 [Chorus] By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon [Verse 4] All along that singing river that black mass of men was seen High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green Death to every foe and traitor! Whistle out the marching tune And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon [Chorus] 'Tis the rising of the moon, 'tis the rising of the moon And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon
  16. I read the list of cancelled USAID projects. All I could see for Ukraine, like Power, were ended. There is one outlier I could no find. So if there is non-military aid getting in I could not find it. But then the list of the 17% that remained I did not find and don't have time to cross reference. Anyone sees it would love a link. Send NORKS forward. Let them eat up Ukrainian bullets. Run over bodies like little bridges. Profit.
  17. Meh, just move all the people coming into Texas out of that water shed. You know, into the hill country.
  18. Yes, but meanwhile there is not even the current semblance of a national government.
  19. Government shut down upon us. Thats gonna be fun.
  20. I want to win, let them suffer, win the SEC Tourney, then lose to Norfolk State University. Go Tidal Grass. This dude's little brother is their center.
  21. Probably going to the river today. A nice 72 degrees at the source above all the Bobcats pissing in the river.
