Seedy, you failed me.  You were my last, best hope :(

Cuban foreign policy is no laughing matter.

Well, you did almost make up for it by going off half-cocked and mentioning a conspiracy theory I never heard of.  That was good for some laffs.

Oh, I remember Cubans in Africa. I did a high school report on the proxy conflicts between East and West in Africa.

I even made the maps on posterboard. That was High Tech back in the day.

I wrote a few papers on Angola & Namibia in college.  The Angola ones may have had a slight pro-Savimbi tilt :ph34r:

You never heard of that one?  That's an oldie, back during the Rock Hudson AIDS era.

And rightfully so.
Had the South African ambassador to the US visit our high school in 1987.  While everyone was giving him shit about apartheid, I gave him kudos in the auditorium on South African foreign policy regarding silly neighbors.  Saw my teacher do a double-facepalm.

I should have waited until France pulled out of Mali?  Probably would've forgotten it by then.

As an aside Britain's sent in troops to help train the government forces.

Someone did a study a while ago of countries Britain's military intervened in. Turned out there were only 22 we hadn't. 21 now :lol:
Let's bomb Russia!
