As far as I can tell, they got this pretty much right

A new and strikingly accurate map of the world from the blog of the enviro-travel magazine Wend:


Pretty much nailed it.

    Considering that map, it's a minor wonder AFRICOM was ever created ...

    This is an all time classic :LOL: :lol:

    Positroll, we Americans don't do African.

    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?

    "Positroll, we Americans don't do African."
    Considering the current US presidents ancestry, I'd guess the map is a little older ...
    (which also explains communist Russia, with China "making our stuff" ...)

    "Mexico does our laundry? I thought they sent us drugs and cheap labor."
    Money laundering! ;-)
