        I’ve been pondering it for hours… 98% it’s a threat about kidnapping Americans, put the word “ransom” in place of “bonus”. A non native English speaker could easily confuse the two words. It’s like when you are in a hurry and the precise word in another language escapes you for a moment, but you toss in a placeholder, knowing that the person you’re talking with will fill in the right word from conversational context. This is a shitty vetsion of “Look at me. I am the Captain now.”

    Credibility alert: based on this article, the situation in Africa looks quite horrible from a US/NATO perspective. I know China and Russia are trying to expand there, but do we think they are just filling the vacuum, or were they the one to initiate some military coups?

    There are a few people in the Army who are world-class champions at “you leave you move you vanish”. They went to a lot of trouble to import their Xboxes to Niger. Do not enter random shitty quarters and touch xboxes.
