Considering that map, it's a minor wonder AFRICOM was ever created ...
ReplyDeleteNah, Africa exists according to America, it's just all lions and genocide.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget diamonds.
ReplyDeleteThis is an all time classic :LOL: :lol:

I think the map was wrong about China. Most Americans like Chinese, see them as rich and successful capitalists who study all the time; we don't see them as communists. Its Ruskies that we are suspicious about. Maybe the Ruskies are the commies?
Mexico does our laundry? I thought they sent us drugs and cheap labor.
