The President freed three Cuban Government operatives to release one American citizen, will announce a lot of new things, opening Cuba up to trade, and not a peep here.
The Taliban slaughtered 130 children plus some teachers, and not a peep here. No outrage, no nothing.
What's up people? |

A prisoner swap is not that unusual. What may be discussable here will occur later after the president's announcement later this morning. Are normalized relations with Cuba in the works? I hope so.
Stay tuned.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

What's up people? If you wanted to discuss those events, why didn't you start threads on them? |

I decided not to post the Taliban story. It was too depressing and not much to discuss except this is horrific. |

Current Events and the Religion board should be combined and titled the Cemetery board.

Actually the White House press secretary had quite a bit to say about it. He assured us here in America it was not the Afghanistani Taliban that attacked. It was the Pakistani Taliban.

there is a significant enough difference that one is supported by Pakistan, and the other is an enemy of Pakistan. |

LOL. Well, you've been pronouncing this board dead for a couple of years now. Far as I can tell, it's still loping along. It's no longer Politics and the Markets, though. It's now just Politics. |
