TFW you attempt to starve out and genocide an ethnic minority and they pwn your army and march on your capital.

I don't know how the TPLF manages to take the entire country, but what happens if they do? The West sanctions them for being an effective fighting force and ensures famine?

Are Federal troops just disintegrating? You'd think they'd want to avoid becoming POWs. The Tigrayans don't have enough food for their civilians, I can't imagine the POWs are well fed.

isn't there a Soldier of Fortune message board that would offer more insights to your posts?

The Ethiopian government could solve all its issues by hiring a company of former Rhodesian mercenaries, but they are all dead or retired. Africa is no fun anymore.

Maybe they'll go with Wagner.

Has there been a more appropriate news story for this thread? Won't be much of a follow up because reasons.

You mean because he's black?


There aren't a ton of pre-canned narratives you can tie this into, and it might hurt criminal justice reform if we spend too much time on it.



Yeah, this is getting memory holed. CNN and MSNBC are already back to 06.Jan and how K-rit is bloodthirsty racist. Reid had a tribute to Anthony Huber last night in place of a discussion about this.

I think you guys are probably right, but the investigation is also moving quite slowly, so not much to report. Brooks is in court this afternoon, and some kids might not make it through.

What happens with both those could amplify things, but maybe this will be the rare calamity where everyone keeps their heads on straight politically.


Facts? We don't need no facts to support a narrative. His social media posts are enough to make hay with if one was so inclined. I'm not saying anyone should, but the Charlottesville attack killed one person and was in the news cycle for weeks.

Now, onto the downplaying. This is weird phrasing:



The following tweet makes it clear there's a perpetrator, but "crash"?

An intentional crash is still a crash. I'm not sure that's an example of downplaying.

"Series of crashes" makes it sound like multiple vehicles were involved, though.

I don't know, bud. I'm sure there will be people looking to downplay the incident, but this ain't it.

Did anyone refer to the Nice truck attack as a 'crash'?

It was a vehicle attack, and this incident is worthy of a thread.

I feel like we need a thread to keep track of all these white women trying to be another race:

https://www.cbc.ca/newsinteractives/fea ... indigenous

Carrie Bourassa was suspended as scientific director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research's Institute of Indigenous Peoples' Health when the CBC exposed her claims of native heritage were false.

In just a couple of hours, Barbados becomes the newest and youngest Republic in the world. Replacing the English queen as head of state and declaring independence after hundreds of years of enslavement and all that comes from it.

The British monarchy and all its attendant aristocracy literally stole their ill gotten fortunes on the backs of this slavery and from the bleeding of countries like Barbados and hundreds of other counties. Many still under their dominion in the ‘commonwealth’. Such an insulting term. It’s anything but a shared wealth or heritage. Their colonialism destroyed those counties natural rights their resources and warped billions of people’s destiny’s.
Jamaica and others are now following suit it seems.
This is why they fight so hard to never let Scotland or the North of Ireland go. Those closest. If they let them go, they all go.
They’re all going.
This is a brilliant day. Delighted for everyone in Barbados.
Up the Republic!
