Thread for World events. Beirut explosion today, unbelievable. Thinking is that a fireworks factory set off a small explosion which ignited a warehouse full of explosives near by...two thousand seven hundred tons of Ammonium Nitrate.

You gotta scratch your head about storing that much explosive in a city.

114 pro democracy protesters shot dead in Myanmar including children. Fucking disgusting that they give them democratic elections then snatch them away, slaughtering them when protesting for it.

I see the protesters are not giving up.

Clearly they realise that if they quit they will be North Korea or China or Russia. Brave souls.

I had a bit to do with a Burnmese guy in lock up. Tough people, very tough, built like Polynesians.....supposedly the ancestors of the Polynesians.

They do. Big export there and reasonably well run industry.

Difference is, it all goes to China.
