[PostMillennial] What these CEOs are not saying is that their aircrews are tired of idiots fighting about masks on their planes. They see the best way forward is to pull the gummint authoritah rug from beneath the Karens' feet.
The CEOs of two of America's largest airlines have come out and contested the notion that wearing masks is an effective way to halt the spread of COVID-19 on planes.
On Wednesday, the CEOs of two of America's largest airlines questioned the need for masks on planes. American Airlines CEO Doug Parker and Southwest's Gary Kelly made the comments after the topic of masks was brought up during a senate hearing regarding financial support given to airlines by the government during the pandemic.
As CNN reports, both CEOs noted that the HEPA filters used on most airplanes capture nearly all the "airborne contamination" and, along with the almost constant exchange of cabin air with fresh air, help provide an environment that is as clean, if not cleaner, than any other indoor space.

Turning point?
a la Stalingrad, November '42?
Where's our equivalent of Operation Uranus against the COVIDiots?

Even my sister, who has been paranoid about her college students getting infected in her classroom, is looking forward to Omicron painlessly vaccinating the population, as it were.
Even though the obvious intelligent policy -- obvious to anyone who understands basic facts about evolution and microbiology -- would be to ALLOW this vastly-milder, almost totally harmless variant to infect as many young and middle-aged people as possible so that it survives -- while the truly virulent, deadly variants die out along with the relatively small number of elderly and comorbid hosts they infect.
But no. Hysteria reigns.
And our children are forced to suffer the ghastly consequences. F--k these fools.

The left has concentrated on infection rates because its scary bit death rates are what we should really be watching (with one eye on hospitalizations to prevent the hospitals being overwhelmed).
Death rates for Omicron show it is milder by a long shot.
[ColonelCassad] After many years of deploying French troops in Mali and conducting Operation Barkhan, France is withdrawing its army contingent from Timbuktu without having achieved any significant success in realizing the stated objectives of the operation.
The key military base of the French army was transferred to the Mali army (there will be a Mali Air Force base), which has already invited Russian military specialists to the country instead of the French.
The strategic retreat of the French in Africa continues. CAR, Mali... What's next in line - Burkina Faso, Niger, Mauritania...
According to the statements of the French Ministry of Defense. From the summer of 2021 to the summer of 2022, the number of the French contingent in Saheil will decrease from 5,000 to 3,000, and from 2023 the reduction will continue.

There are no solutions to the problems of corrupt shitholes by military interventions of Western countries. All this does is kill people. These people have tons of relatives, all of whom are outraged and join the cause to get revenge. Then it's worse than it was before.
The solution is for the elites in these countries to stop enriching themselves by ruining the lives of their countrymen. But they'll never do this. Compare to our own elites who do the same thing - you think they're going to stop?

Splat nails it at #1. It's simply human evil and greed on another grid square. I don't see a fix for Afrika in my lifetime for sure. Perhaps it is simply an example of wat must be avoided.

I saw it well expressed in an addendum to someone else's graffito:
"Same old tears on a new background."

At least the French have the sense to fold it up and go home.

^ The French elites are recognizing what only IrabgeNan and a few other elites here recognize: the West is under assault.
The invaders are coming across the Mediterranean, not the Fulda Gap.
France like America needs to protect its borders, not send troops abroad so that Muslim girls can pursue Gender Studies at Kabul U., or to ensure that Timbuktu Black Girls Code

[REGNUM] On January 29, 1918, an uprising broke out in Kiev. It was started by the workers of the Arsenal plant, they were supported by units of the garrison - the soldiers of the Shevchenko and Bogdanovsky regiments. The army did not seek to take part in punitive actions. The exception was the Sich archers - former Austrian prisoners of war from Galicia. They were summoned from the front and suppressed the uprising. Up to 1.5 thousand people were killed. This was the last military success of the Rada in the winter of 1918. At the end of January, Antonov-Ovseenko reported on the success of his troops:

They are utter fools for investing in WWII technology like aircraft carriers. They are just big targets for submarines.
And wait for the next big shooting war for everyone to discover that the naval mine has made huge strides and is really the thing that will decide conflicts. They're not those spiky things any more. They are torpedoes in a box anchored to the sea floor that listen for specific audio signatures and launch themselves when a targeted ship sails by.
