It was post revolution that the USA reneged against this agreement in the name of Manifest Destiny but let’s just blame the Brits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 I'm not so much worried about the British, mostly benign - I reckon it was Queen Vic and her rellies that caused a lot of the historically recent strife, King George V and Tsar Nicholas II and Kaiser Wilhelm II, couldn't get their acts together and ultimately were responsible for WW 1 - Queen Vic's lot.

Dutch rule, Brit rule, Dutch rule, Brit rule. Was sort of like neither were really willing to fight hard enough for it. I recommend the works of author Wilbur Smith about SA. All fiction but a piece of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 addendum : the Queen Victoria, King George V and Tsar Nicholas II and Kaiser Wilhelm II, family breeding chart. The boys even look the same, this is how you breed cattle so they all look the same - line breeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding of Africa, is formed by the books of Gerald Durrell, in particular, Bafut Beagles describing the Fon of Bafut. Not quite fiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fon_of_Bafut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 We're off track, given the title of the thread, (me included), however I'm loth to start another middle eastern thread, multiple SNAFUs are not required. And we're sort of canvassing the background and causes of the current Jew/Arab debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bust Posted March 1 Author Report Share Posted March 1 Serving US Air Force member sets himself on fire outside Israeli embassy in ‘genocide’ protest Graphic video of incident shows man yelling ‘I will no longer be complicit in genocide" Plenty of places to view the video online if you have the need. Most alarming part is the moronic behavior of the police captured in it. Especially the one at the end with his gun drawn on the soldier 🙄 US Secret Service vehicles block access to a street leading to the Embassy of Israel in Washington, DC on February 25, 2024. A man reportedly set himself on fire near the embassy on Sunday afternoon A man who set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC on Sunday in an apparent protest against the Gaza war is a serving member of the US Air Force, a spokesperson confirmed. The US Air Force serviceman suffered life-threatening injuries and remains in critical condition at a hospital. The man filmed his protest and livestreamed the video on social media platform Twitch shortly before 1pm local time on Sunday. The graphic footage shows him shouting “I will no longer be complicit in genocide” and “I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest” as he stood in front of the embassy gates. He then kept his phone down to film himself pouring a clear liquid from a metal bottle and setting himself alight. He also shouts “Free Palestine!” before falling to the ground. Law enforcement officers then approached the man and successfully put out the flames. The fire was extinguished by members of the uniformed division of the US Secret Service, a spokesperson told The Independent. The video was removed from Twitch as the platform stated that it violated its guidelines. But police said they have obtained and reviewed a copy. A bomb disposal unit was dispatched to the location due to suspicions surrounding a questionable vehicle potentially linked to the individual in question. Officials later cleared the suspicious vehicle and found no hazardous materials inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Self Immolation is a rather pointless exercise, the only people you are harming is oneself and it will be all forgotten about in a couple of days. Globally there have been 25 Cases since 2020 alone, how many do you remember coz I remember none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
