Didn’t know about Spain and assumed everything Navy in Spain would be Rota Moron is Air Force. I spent a few weeks there in 2004 during OIF 2. Halfway stop between Dover AFB and Baghdad mostly for C-5s. It's a small base but pretty nice. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "According to Politico, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman met with lawmakers privately Wednesday and said that troops would be moving to Djibouti, where Camp Lemmonier is located, to give the Biden administration options to launch an evacuation operation. "Sherman stressed that the mission would whisk only embassy staff to safety and that there won’t be a military-led general evacuation of American citizens," Politico reported. " Why not grab as many citizens that want to leave, instead of just embassy staff? Because nobody hates American citizens as much as the US Government. |

Jeez. That's a lot of whoopass. I'm guessing the Brits aren't planning on this going very well. The Bits have been there before. See also the old Heston movie Khartoum, it's a great older flick. Major-General Charles George Gordon He entered the service of the Khedive of Egypt in 1873 (with British government approval) and later became the Governor-General of the Sudan, where he did much to suppress revolts and the local slave trade. Exhausted, he resigned and returned to Europe in 1880. A serious revolt then broke out in the Sudan, led by a Muslim religious leader and self-proclaimed Mahdi, Muhammad Ahmad. In early 1884, Gordon was sent to Khartoum with instructions to secure the evacuation of loyal soldiers and civilians and to depart with them. In defiance of those instructions, after evacuating about 2,500 civilians he retained a smaller group of soldiers and non-military men. In the months before the fall of Khartoum, Gordon and the Mahdi corresponded; Gordon offered him the Sultanate of Kordofan and the Mahdi requested Gordon to convert to his religion and join him, to which Gordon replied abruptly: "No!"[1] Besieged by the Mahdi's forces, Gordon organised a citywide defence that lasted for almost a year and gained him the admiration of the British public, but not of the government, which had wished him not to become entrenched there. Only when public pressure to act had become irresistible did the government, with reluctance, send a relief force. It arrived two days after the city had fallen and Gordon had been killed. |

They usually have access to immigration and visa figures from the host country, it's not a complete shot in the dark for the F-77. When they are mostly dual citizens there is a necessarily huge fudge factor, though. Regardless, zero sympathy for Americans who ignore warnings to leave a country and can't even bother to enroll in STEP when they don't. |

A couple weeks ago, my niece was planning on going to Sudan to explore her Muslim African roots. I talked to her and explained Africa is a shithole and Sudan was probably one of the worst and everyone and everything in Africa is basically geared towards killing Westerners, white and black. She texted me a couple days ago and thanked me and is now planning on making the haj to Saudi Arabia.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It takes billions of dollars in global aid every year to prevent that from happening naturally. Some places are just not supposed to have people in them. Eventually Nevada will learn the same lesson. This is a highly...ignorant (to not just say retarded) comment. There is plenty of food in Africa. There isn't plenty of distribution or benevolent warloads who don't sell it to the highest bidder, hence, people starve. As far as Nevada, I guess the entire SW to include CA shouldn't be inhabited? Hell, you could include Texas and a good portion of the Midwest too. Actually shoot, you could include New England too. I'd love to see you survive without modern tech, especially oil. To paraphrase Braveheart, "the problem with Africa is that it's full of Africans." /Story. |
