Well, shit.
I feel so bad for the folks in Yemen. They have been living under constant bombardment now for how many decades… And things are going to get worse for them now. I hate this stupid timeline.
Assuming we live to see good days again, it will be amusing to read about all the historic unification and improvement that happened outside of the North American continent simply because Trump was Trump.

He just left the Hospital and jump in a truck to beg for amnesty. He is scared of prison.
Not so happy country?
Iltalehti reported on a scathing Daily Mail article that mocks Finland’s “happiest country” title while highlighting the nation’s challenges, including above-average suicide rates and alcohol consumption compared to European norms.The media outlet visited various districts in Helsinki, even capturing images of individuals being escorted to a police car for drug-related offences at ‘Amphetamine Square’ outside Sörnäinen Metro Station.
“Kontula has generally been considered one of the most notorious suburbs in East Helsinki due to violence, gangs and drug dealing,” the Daily Mail wrote.
The article also featured comments from Finnish residents who expressed doubt about Finland’s happiness ranking.
Heikki Hursti, longtime director of food bank Hurstin Ruoka-apu, told IL that there are many positive aspects in Finland, despite the fact that the number of the underprivileged has increased and the government continues to cut support.
“We don’t have terrorism or its threat, and we have good healthcare and education. In these areas, things are great, but then there’s the other side.”
I love Piritori [Amphetamine Square]. I used to live a block away from it.

If you are wondering why amphetamine is called piri in Finnish:
Pervitin, an early form of methamphetamine, was widely used in Nazi Germany and was available without a prescription.
Or maybe it’s just short for piriste [stimulant].
I think I’ve found the problem.
Nothing that sorry excuse for a newspaper does is ever directed at anything other than stirring up hatred and bile. And given its history, there’s only one period of Finland’s history that they’d think positively about.
I guess they would love 1918-1921, they would be fans of muilutus and big fans of Winter War maybe Continuation War and I guess Lapland War not so much.
A common tactic was “muilutus” or “kyyditys”, which started with kidnapping and beating. After that the subject was thrown into a car and driven to the border with the Soviet Union.
Friends don’t let friends read the Daily Mail.
Ooh, they’re scared
India suspends IPL cricket for a week after a night of blackouts and escalating tensions with Pakistan
FUCK
After the escalation of attacks between India and Pakistan, a reporter asks if a young Indian is not ashamed of not wanting the destruction of his neighboring country. His response leaves the crowd disconcerted.
More than a few in the crowd seemed to support his point of view.
Well-played young man.
