orwellian hellscape:

Quote
“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever. ”

a very, very extended family member was mildly caught up in this (their vehicle was carjacked by some narcos who apparently needed a way to get to someplace else).

The Country of Georgia most certainly avoided Maiden Coup 2.0 by repealing the NGO legislation . . . Russia immediately blamed, of course.  French born Georgian Pres most certainly got a talking to while she visits the United States.

Arab/Persian Spring Part (insert number here) Alert for Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Who GAF, and I'm still laughing at the giant derps who think Murdoch still owns National Geographic after they dumped their Geography competition . . . because apparently too many smart Asians were winning it.

What does Rachel  :jeffy: Maddow have to say about this cire?

Sounds like Turkey is going to be sitting pretty in a few years.  Since they hate Russia this will get the dependence on gas from Russia down to zero and they'll be flipping off Puton in the near future if he's still alive.

Imran Khan . . . doesn't play well enough with U.S., U.S. influence wanes, starts talking a lot more with China and Russia, gets coup'd.

Starts to gain traction again in country, gets charged with corruption (speeding tickets - Indy 500 quote here).

The story of our modern times

Always great to see domestic upheaval in a country that has nukes  :thumbsup:

the two most popular (i think) presidents in latin america are amlo who declared an detente with the cartels and has seen them assume a larger role in mexican life and this guy, who seemingly has brought organized crime to record lows in el salvador by ignoring inconvenient stuff like due process and whatnot.
