Former Congo refugee come Utah car dealer takes his son and a couple other Americans (including a cannabis dealer from Maryland) to launch a coup attempt in the Congo.  Things went about as well as you'd have expected.

So....will his dealership still service my vehicle, or, ummm, do I need to look elsewhere for my warranty service needs?

I may not be a well-versed as others on global affairs, but I'm wondering why a Utah car dealer gives two shits about the Congo.  I mean, the Congo?  Really?

Here's a hint: he wasn't born an American citizen.

I get the car dealer, somewhat. He is former Congolese military and probably was delusional thinking he could run the place.

The white cannabis dealer is the one that baffles me.

They’re currently fighting a civil war. Upon further reading, it sounds like the US-based politician that was killed attempted a similar style coup back in 2017 that failed.

Here is what I do know for sure. I look forward to when this is made into a film and I truly hope Jamie Foxx plays the lead with Jesse Plemons playing the cannabis dealer.

'Around 50, including three American citizens - were arrested and are currently undergoing interrogation by the specialized services of the Armed Forces,' Ekenge told Reuters.

Local media were quick to suggest a CIA plot to seize control of the mineral rich nation of 100 million people.

But there were fewer than 100 men in evidence as the heavily armed group announced the coup was underway in a message on Facebook.

What the fucking fuck? Anyone paying attention knows you gotta lead with a few dance routines on the tik tok if you want to get the people behind your cause. F'n Facebook? Never stood a chance.

so a used car dealership run by a guy named Otto, just happened to employ some people who attempted to acquire the Congo for their own gains.  Almost line for line the script from a simulation show called Mister Robot.  But we don't live inside a simulation?  and in fucking Utah?  And oh yeah, they seat their plan into motion on 5/9.    Is anybody even trying anymore?  This is getting sad at this point.

very surprising two dudes from utah weren't able to overthrow a government of a country of 100MM people.

Breaking:  The Congolese government just released the following image from right before the attempted coup.

Apparently, Congo has massive reserves of these:

They're competing with Elmo for world vehicle domination, with very different tactics.

Conga line or Musk oil, pick your poison, we are all hosed.

Well, the Congo's rainforest is larger than the state of Alaska and second only to the Amazon.

Coltan is the source of the rare earth minerals niobium and tantalum used in electronics

From the first search result: "Niobium is a lustrous, ductile metal."

I mean....when you describe it like that....

Also, "Coltan" is the name of some Karen's kid who she totally thinks should start at first base this season, but his only qualifications for any endeavor are having a mullet and using racial slurs at a surprisingly early age.

you skim trillions while selling the rest to china 

I'd be down for skimming trillions.

First thing I would buy is Twitter and rebrand it as ShaggyBevo.

I would heavily invest in NIL deals to make sure aggy never recruits anyone over 2 stars.

Finally,  I would funnel money to small FCS football programs to buyout the HC from aggy every year.
