Seems like the real opportunity as always is in the countryside. Port-au-Prince is mess but at least from this doc it doesn't look like the influence of the armed groups extends far beyond that. Who knows for sure though.

Alright finally got around to watching it

Wow, what a story. Could definitely support a blowback season. It would be fascinating to get the backstory on some of these characters. There are definite "smells" of CIA here, particularly the drug running and arms trafficking networks based out of Florida.

I had no idea the US had invaded Haiti. For 20 years no less!

It seems it was really the earthquake that broke Haiti's back, just textbook disaster capitalism. Like, I hated the Clintons before but fuck I hate them even more now, somehow.

Still not sure how to feel about the armed groups. Extortion is just taxes by another name. Where are the Marxists I wonder?

It does seem that a BRICs aligned peacekeeping force would be the best thing for Haiti based on this video. Some stability and belt and road investments.

My bad I thought they had killed him. I am glad he isn't dead over a $2.50 subway fare.

Looks very interesting but long so I'll have to come back to it later tonight. I will say I hate the framing of the armed groups as "gangs" it's just so racially coded. Groups of armed men fighting over control of the government are more appropriately referred to as factions in my view.

I am also sure the CIA is balls deep in this, would love to know where those weapons are coming from. There's a lot more to the story than what we are being told and I am sure this video is a good resource on it, hence your posting it. Looking forward to it and will comment again after viewing.

It does for sure but it's a totally different experience

What the fuck even is this story

So now they're saying someone else left a knife on the platform in the confusion? And the cops picked up the wrong knife? And some guy walked up and took the knife from a ~~dead~~ wounded guy?

This makes absolutely zero sense even by NYPD standards

These cops just ~~murdered~~ shot this guy bc he told them to fuck off is my guess. I am sure we will learn that the body cams malfunctioned or were turned off next.

Edit: the victim is not dead fortunately

Yeah it's gotta hurt to be fun imo, otherwise you're not scared of getting shot. And then you may as well be playing laser tag

That's a good idea

Did you watch the season 4 trailer? It's also really good

State department hand wringing that China is going to use the US trade agreements as they were designed is chefs-kiss

I fully expect them to redo these with "except china" clauses.

I kinda want to try to get into it with my son but from a first glance it looks like it's just been taken over by hardcore MTG types and there's no place to play online even on webcam. The stuff I have seen looks really fast paced and confusing. Like way too intense for something based on cartoon princesses.

Does anyone play? What has your experience been and what's the best way to try it out for someone with zero tcg experience?

 

The comments are something else
