I was considering an effort post on DRC as it's a good example of what's happening with daddies foreign policy. Can't be bothered to do an effort post today but some potential mining sites in this as it develops.

Rwanda have had a slow burning war with DRC since the 90's but the France and the US have largely kept them in check. They can quietly support their little separatist group as long as they don't try and expand the conflict beyond the eastern province they are in and they mostly ignore the war crimes. Rwanda has been using DRC resources to fuel their growth and want more.

DRC is much larger than Rwanda but it's been a failed state since the 90's and while some form of government has existed since 2005 it's limited to the West and South of the country and is very weak. Rwanda have relatively modern, for Africa, armed forces, and all the gibs they got post-genocide mean they have good infrastructure for that part of the world. Rwanda have also had the same president for 25 years who keeps "winning" with 90%+ of the vote.

When the US eyes went away the guerillas in DRC suddenly had tanks and helicopters. A couple of weeks later when no one did anything there were suddenly a whole bunch of Rwandan troops in the country and they easily took the largest city in the east. They have stated they intend to keep moving West and "liberate" the entire country.

In terms of natural resource value DRC is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. It's so profoundly undeveloped, has problematic geography and terrible security that no one has been willing to take it on.

Most of the time offers like this would be absurd but this is the type of "deal" Trump loves. Hopefully he restarts the Belgian mining practices and cuts childrens hands off.

Department of Education is (soon) kill!?

I was talking to a irl maga person a month ago and they were like:

...what? It doesn't matter who gets appointed to head the DOE because Trump will dismantle it. He literally said so lol

And I was like

pshhh that will never happen...

There is nobody that will give more credit to Elon Musk's involvement in the technology of his companies than his biggest detractors. Nertea, a prominent KSP modder just deleted all SpaceX parts in his mods and from the way he words it, you'd think Elon personally designed it lol pic.twitter.com/HoHtwNZVeu

My 14-year-old asked me yesterday, "Why's the government so obsessed with people's genders?" and I froze like a deer in headlights.

They should be more fat and black like SECDEF Austin and go out of commission for a week without telling anyone because they can't take care of their body.

@Vegeta , @Aevann , can you ban this neighbor @Liquid_Bridge and @laguerna. It's obviously ghost. I know you probably don't care tbh, but the first one is pretending to be me and obviously failing, and the second is larping as a groomercord BIPOC.
