It took me a sec to realize that they did not mean it the way I thought. I was like "hell yeah!!"

Yeah they lost their coastline in the Pacific War and never got over it. What is funny is the most momentum on this front in well over 100 years was because of Evo. Evo brought it before the UN in 2013, it was turned down but still he went farther and expanded access to Chiles' ports more than anyone else. I know it was seen as a failure to follow through on a major promise by Evo, but still.
Bolivians have songs for school children to sing about taking back the coast. They are super invested it getting it back
OMG the navy was involved? This really is a farce.
It kinda seems this general was on his own. OAS even immediately disavowed him, which sure they always do when they fail, but this was quick. He did not even have real support in the military. Sometimes you wake up and think you are Caesar
First as tragedy then again as.....well you know
Oh thank god we are back.
Taking the site down during a coup as a joke was not OK
also good update
I mean what has the navy had to do since WW2? Combat wise Korea had nothing really, Vietnam had small patrol craft, there was the Cuban blockade I guess, Iraq the most use we got out of them was using our remaining Battleship to launch missiles, Afghanistan is landlocked.
I ADORE Tom Veitch, but yeah that sums most of his work up in one sentence.
I am sure this time the EU will force Greece to follow the standards of say France and Germany's laws for "cohesion" just like they did when Greece wanted to break from EU standards to save its economy. Totally not gonna let this slide, but destroy the nation for trying to escape debt peonage
On the bright side, it is heartening to see Iwata's influence and decency still influencing devs today
The US has its nukes on everyone's borders, floats its ships through their waters, flies through their airspace. This is not an escalation. Allied nations send vessels through one another's ports all the time. Russia does this regularly. This moment is intense so it is getting attention and there is a case for not doing it, but it is not escalation. Keep in mind the DPRK has had submarines go to Cuba in the past 20 years.
Exactly. It really seemed at first like it was saying that 9/11 was a warning shot
