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.

[-] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

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

At one point the main representative of the US State Department to the press was one Ned Price.

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

the only way to make americans leave is by forcing them out

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

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

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

This is a "watch this space" situation.

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

This is not going to end well for niger :(

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 71 points 8 months ago

Stop being so negative American power is crazy thin right now it’s basically now or never

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- 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). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- 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. --
