A ZDF colleague saw our interaction and added another differentiator; I'll quote part of his email:
"Both the UPDF and the ZDF went into the DRC on opposite sides - in Uganda the spoils were distributed widely, in Zim only the chefs ate. We fought, died, and came home to ever-decreasing pensions whilst civilian Zanu chefs used our blood to fatten their bank accounts in South Africa, Britain, and other Commonwealth locales."

Come on Frum, you know those are very unique black people, the rest are watching the whole shebang from the windows.... I went ice skating 3 weeks ago for the first time in my life, just a few kilometers away from the Black Hawk you and GreenandGold kept talking about? Do you know what? White kids were skating like pros and let's not even talk about what I and the other darkies did.




BTW, I'll be sharing the latest on Bob... I'm actually right, my assessment might hold water.

I fully understood what you were saying, man. That to which I was objecting was the essentialist argument that says "black people do this, white people do this". It's all bulldust, and the "jocular" stereotypes aren't that at all: they re-inforce rather than debunk.
A "black" girl taught me about the "European" sport of ski, meanwhile I taught her about the "African" martial art of capoeira.
Surely you see the irony and absurdity of assigning inherent "race" attributes in that?

Enlarged with massive recruitment for Boko Haram war 2014-2017, Nigerian armed forced now have salary bill of about $1.5 billion yearly as at 2018. In 2010-2015 the lower number of personnel had salary bills around $1 billion, but FGN defence budget was about $15 billion. It means $10 billion was available for new weapons and equipment procurement to Nigerian army, navy, air force 2010-2015. Please if you have photos of new weapons we bought for $10 billion kindly improve what you post on this thread, we keep seeing the same old weapons. Where is your $10 billion weapons? This thread needs the photos. Thanks.

Worst enemy of black people is not CIA, its the attitude of black people. Bad leadership, financial corruption, greed, incompetence and gross stupiidity at all levels. Go and see the oil rich South Sudanese (Whose independence AU fought for) running in millions back to same north Sudan we freed them from, fleeing black on black civil war! They call you ape, you too behave like gorilla. Most foolish race God created.

Personal expense is more than salary.

How much do you think it cost to feed 100000 people, what about manta cents on buildings, medicine all so costs money, then are the cost of manta certain to buildings, electrical bills extra extra. It all adds up.

Then you have cost of conducting operations, you need fuel, spare parts, ammo, spare uniforms, lots of small items like binoculars Witch a good pair costs 200usd and a mill spec costs 400usd, what about batteries to your radios. So I suggest you put more thought in.

My only real comment on this issue...

Some people on here said SANDF should have gone into Zim (less than 36 hours after the thing had started) to capture/kill the guy on the right, in order to save the guy on the left? Hmmm . Do you not feel foolish?

Your fingers just couldn't help but try find anything negative to point out. At this point, how many SANDF, ZDF and Zimbabwean citizens would be dead....over these two smiling together? Was it impossible to just say let's wait & see...give it a week? Would even the mighty U.S Army enter a country on mass (where a suprise coup has occured) in under 36 hours?

But anyways...
