    General Michael Langley

    That has to be made up. “Hi I’m General Mike CIA”.

      Knowing how much of an old-money spoils system those sorts of roles are, he’s probably the great-great-great-great fail son of the guy Langley’s named after. Nepo babies are, like, 99.9 percent of the one percent. Upwardly mobile monsters like Bezos are an anomaly.

        I thought that might be the case, but nope it’s named after some hamlet in the middle of nowhere, England.

        It’s a fairly common British surname. There could be someone who posts here with that name.

    I want to be hopeful about this, but Iraq tried doing something similar, and the US is still there.

        The americans will stay until casualties are too high to pretend they’re training accidents. They will never leave just by asking.

          Niger can do the same thing that Mali did to France. Siege the embassies and bases, cut them off from all food water and power and just play chicken to see if the US will invade over it or fuck off

          We’ll see how well they can really maintain those 800+ bases when people realize they can’t actually fight every country on earth.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
