Don't worry, Zambia is apparently shifting away from borrowing money from China to pay for roads and other infrastructure projects. They are now borrowing money from the IMF to pay for day to day government operations.

The specific highway under discussion was going to be repaired with Chinese financing but the project was cancelled.

I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest post. No lies whatsoever.

it’s almost like Biden & blinken wanted a confrontation from the start.

Boeing has some sales reps go to sell “quiet” strike f-15s to Israel recently. I’m sure it’d take a while to furnish.

quote:

The Bush administration asserted that the Saddam government had sought to purchase yellowcake uranium from Niger.[103] On 7 March 2003, the U.S. submitted intelligence documents as evidence to the International Atomic Energy Agency. These documents were dismissed by the IAEA as forgeries, with the concurrence in that judgment of outside experts. At the time, a US official stated that the evidence was submitted to the IAEA without knowledge of its provenance and characterized any mistakes as "more likely due to incompetence not malice".

On 19 March 2003 at 21:00, the first strike of the operation was carried out by members of the 160th SOAR
