And now Trump has invited the Chinese to investigate the Bidens :facepalm:. Damn, I’m starting to think I should investigate the Bidens too :p

So there might be some tiny problems with Thailand’s court system. Not surprised to see more hate against a Muslim-minority in SouthEast Asia. There’s better ways to protest, but this seems to have the desired consequence:

Need some Polish users to help find any information of this "cooperation agreement" between Majalengka region in West Java with Magdalenka in Poland (there are a few in Google Maps) :d

 

This image has been circulating for the last 2 days but no news from the Majalengka local government

This woman is amazing :wub:. So in her lifetime...She was born into an independent Serbia just before WW1. She then lived through the WW1 fighting within Serbia. She was then alive during the horrors of WW2. She then lived through the creation of Yugoslavia. She then lived through the disillusion of Yugoslavia. Then probably through the Kosovar War, and now is voting in the 4th Parliament elections in Kosovo. 

 

What a person of history!

Thank You Trump for starting what will be my one of the world’s biggest humanitarian issues this century. I’m positive Erdogan will not attack the Kurdish majority in Idlib that he blames for the coup :facepalm:. Hope the YPG gives Turkish forces one hell of a fight. Also, Trump, their are fucking Americans in the YPG! Both you and Obama turned a blind eye towards Americans fighting in the YPG against ISIS and later Assad. Their blood is on your hands. The Kurds deserve their own country and the American government had the power to make that a reality, but instead we’ve let lose the dam on a massive escalation of the Syrian Civil War. Assad has vowed to fight the YPG, Syrian Democratic Forces, and Turkey should Turkey enter Syrian territory. Turkey has vowed to fight the YPG. The YPG has vowed to fight Russia, Turkey, and Syria. The Syrian Democratic forces have vowed to fight Assad and Russia. This will not end well! Europeans be ready, refugees en mass may arriving at your borders. I study conflicts, and I know shit moves when I see them. I’m really hoping that this works out, but I’m not positive it will. Americans need to vote this disgrace out (and if the Turkish opposition could get enough supports to oust Erdogan that’d be fantastic).

YPG and SDF releasing rare English language statements on Twitter essentially thanking the US for fucking Syria over for the next decade. To me, the tone of the statements also insinuates that the SDF and the YPG are more than willing to confront Turkey. Also, they point out the ISIS and Nusra cells could again become active in the area.

@hckosice Chaos in :ECU after President Lenin M. officially signed off on controversial austerity measures. Today was the 6th day of protest. The situation in Quito is so dangerous that the government has moved to Guayaquil.

    • The olympic charter is toilet paper. Russia was suspended because otherwise western sponsor companies would pull out and some big countries would've boycotted Paris. Money is the only thing that matters to IOC.
    • Remember that Russia's IOC suspension was for a "breach of the Olympic Charter because it violated the territorial integrity of the NOC of Ukraine" not for any other reason. Restoring Russia without that changing would have huge repercussions for other nations.
    • It’s just a great weasel word.   We all want  to come back to International sport "when they are in compliance". But there are very differing opinions on what that means.
    • I doubt that.  It will mean only a doping rubber stamp and a promise not to swear at the ice skating moppets in public,
    • So, kind of forgotten about at the end of the summer season, we have two events to go in the World Triathlon Championship Series, the last WTCS regular season races of the year in Weihai , then the Final in  in mid-October.  All to play for because there are double points up for grabs in the last race, so effectively nothing really decided yet.  Races are tomorrow morning  time, so pretty much overnight in Europe.   Races are full Olympic length and apparently a hilly cycling course.  Here's the situation and preview for the Men.     World Triathlon Championship Series Weihai ready for another epic Wilde vs Yee battle | World Triathlon Championship Series   And for the women   Women's World Triathlon Championship Series rankings to heat up in Weihai | World Triathlon Championship Series    
    • "once it returns to compliance" would mean it renounces its claim to Crimea... Can't see that happening any time soon.
    • Maggie MacNeil   She was an Olympic, World (LC and SC) Pan American Games and Commonwealth Games Champion. Highly decorated career. 
    • when I raised the question, I forgot that that there was no U23 medals for women just a couple years ago...
    • it happens when you think too much ahead about the next match (vs Brazil) while you have a tough opponent ahead. they gave up 4 silly goals in the first half and then it was a mountain to climb.  Iran had a last penalty exactly in the last second which hit the bar   have to admit Iran played terrible the entire match and didn't deserve the win but Morocco is also a very ugly team. lots of acting, deceiving, diving and protesting in the 2nd half. putting Iran in 5 fouls very early which made the team playing cautious 
    • Morocco won after almost being stolen the victory by the refs. Those officials should be sent home after calling that joke foul in the last second.
