  1. The deployment of Arab peacekeepers is a big step. That is what the meeting in Egypt today is about.
  2. It will get worse @Brian Fantana. This is when old problems come to the surface. No where have I read they were collaborators. It is a separate tribe.
  3. Hahaha, I applied to be a researcher for the Bosnia tribunals. There are multiple parts. 1 is the legal team, the other is in the field doing the hard research and forensics work. That is what I wanted.
  4. Handover of Israeli hostages set to begin in Gaza, as Hamas releases names of those being freed https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cx2r2z0gyp7t
  5. From the comments “Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” – Diary of Anne Frank, January 13, 1943
  6. The alternative. Being a Yankees fan? Yeah, fuck that.
  7. New Confederate Army. Sponsored by waffle house.
  8. And the social foundation Latin America. BTW, his "castle" in Santo Domingo reminds you how damn short people were.
  9. Yep. Just look at Mozambique right now. Total got the rights for the offshore natural gas and has done fuck all.
  10. I have a good friend who was building roads going south. Said it was the hardest place he ever worked. And homie has been around. Mainly it was for the mining companies, but they were horrible to the communities.
  11. This is a fear I have had. There will be an internal civil war in Gaza. Going to be rough for the Peacekeepers. 'They were running from their own people': At least 27 killed in violent clashes in Gaza City At least 27 people have been killed in clashes between Hamas and a Gaza City clan since the end of major Israeli operations in the territory At least 27 people have been killed in fierce clashes between Hamas security forces and armed members of the Dughmush family in Gaza City, in one of the most violent internal confrontations since the end of major Israeli operations in the enclave. Masked gunmen from Hamas exchanged fire with militants near the Jordanian hospital in southern Gaza City. Witnesses said that, according to a senior official in the Hamas-run Interior Ministry, security units surrounded an armed militia inside the city and engaged in heavy fighting to detain its members. The ministry said eight members of the security forces were killed in what it described as “an armed assault by a militia”. Local medical sources said that 19 members of the Dughmush clan were killed, along with eight Hamas fighters, since the fighting began Saturday. Eyewitnesses said the clashes erupted in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood after a Hamas force of more than 300 fighters moved to storm a residential block where Dughmush gunmen were entrenched. Residents described scenes of panic as dozens of families fled their homes under heavy gunfire, many of them displaced multiple times during the war. "This time people weren’t fleeing Israeli attacks," one resident said. "They were running from their own people." https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cder1pg17yrt
  12. Madagascar says hold my lemur. ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar (AP) — Madagascar’s president said Sunday that an attempted coup was underway in the Indian Ocean country, just a day after members of an elite army unit had joined youth-led protests against the government and called for the president to step down. President Andry Rajoelina’s office offered no details on who was behind the attempt and no signs of violence were immediately visible on the streets on Sunday. Madagascar has been shaken by three weeks of the most significant unrest in years in the nation. The protests are led by a group calling itself “Gen Z Madagascar,” and the United Nations says the demonstrations have left at least 22 people dead and dozens injured. The government has disputed this number. https://apnews.com/article/madagascar-protests-attempted-coup-e6dd29a429e06362efd238cfac7270d0
  13. Arab states expanded cooperation with Israeli military during Gaza war, files show Israeli and Arab military officials have come together for meetings and trainings, facilitated by U.S. Central Command, on regional threats, Iran and underground tunnels. Even as key Arab states condemned the war in the Gaza Strip, they quietly expanded security cooperation with the Israeli military, leaked U.S. documents reveal. Those military ties were thrown into crisis after Israel’s September airstrike in Qatar, but could now play a key role in overseeing the nascent ceasefire in Gaza. Over the past three years, facilitated by the United States, senior military officials from Israel and six Arab countries came together for planning meetings in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and Qatar. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/10/11/us-israel-arab-military-leaked-documents/
  14. Interesting. Those Tomahawks seem to scare them.
  15. It hit the bat. That was a bullshit call.
  16. I did my usual bet with my mentor. Loves OU, did not go to school there. But he was a journalist in Norman for a long time. We have been doing the same bet, a hat bought from the university's book store since 2002. Yeah, their store has more money than the CoOp. That said. Fuck OU.
  17. FUCK OU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. Alright then, fuck it.
  19. That is corruption. And fuck that. And you know we do have a facility in Qatar that is kind of important to us in the region right?
  20. Good sir, I am not minimizing shit. Trust me. But this is a distraction that has been going on since the creation of NATO. Randolph Air Force Base is a major language school. Yeah, we teach English there to any partner nation. There are NATO planes over the US right now. There are Saudi's flying over south Texas. Right now. I hate the Argentina bail out. Fucks up both our and their economy. It is not a wedge issue. If SecDef had not said a thing very few would know.
  21. I think everyone knows I am not a fan of the current administration, but this does not bother me. 1- Singapore is already flying at this location. 2- We have contingents of NATO nations flying across the US West. Main reason is we have space. 3- Qatar's airspace is crowded. So let them train. 4- We have plenty of Arabs flying in the US. My Step Mother was part of the training mission at Randolph. Yep, there are Saudi pilots right now flying here. Yeah, considering everything else going on, I am not bothered by this.
  22. Yep. Would also like to see Story stay. He is solid and seems to help out the team as another leader.
