Down here it’s summer, which mostly means rainy days interspersed with 20°+ sunshine.

I just wish you jokers in the US could spare some of that snow for my Dad in Queensland, where a weeks-long heatwave of 40°+ temperatures is thoroughly aggravating and complicating his recently diagnosed inoperable lung cancer. I think he might welcome a little snow (or at least a break in the heat) right about now.

(And please, nobody make jokes about ‘what’re those temps in Freedom Units?’ I’m currently fighting the bureaucracy and their website’s AI overlords to get a passport so I can go see Dad, and copping it from my brother because it’s all taking so long, so I am not in the mood.)

40 degrees Celsius… that’s about 100 degrees Fahrenheit, right? I know what that’s like…

I just got my hands on a copy of Ian Black’s Jet Combat, which was published by Osprey in 1988 while he was on active duty with the RAF! I tell you it’s amazing what you can find at a Half-Price Books!

As of a couple of days ago, Death finally claimed the Chuck Norris… do we want Walker to have just passed away, as well?

I think we have to. I'm not sure him dying in bed or saving nun carrying an orphan from a fire works better.

Too much of a cliché for him to go out in a blaze of glory. Going peacefully in bed, off to his warrior's and lawman's rest, would be far more appropriate.
The difference between diplomacy and war is this: Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell so elegantly that they pack for the trip.
War is bringing hell down on that someone.

Bernard did not know you could speak french over at AH.com.

En 1987, les seuls soldats soviétiques présents en Allemagne de l'Ouest faisaient partie du personnel de l'ambassade à Bonn. Du moins, officiellement.

Map is work in progress, but could this be canon.

Brazil & Chile occupied Territories of Argentina

As a result of destruction of the Argentine Navy main naval base by a Royal Navy fired Polaris SLBM on Puerto Belgrano Naval Base and an adjacent Argentine city Brazil & Chile in 1986 took advantages of this and with the approval of the United States and the United Kingdom who where heavily engaged in fighting the Soviet Union in World War III, both Brazil & Chile invaded Argentina, Chile in the Chilean-Argentine War invaded the Picton, Lennox and Nueva islands, the same island both countries almost went to war with in 1978 (Beagle conflict) and Brazil during the Brazil-Argentine War invaded and annexed the Argentinian provinces of Misiones, Formosa, Jujuy and parts of Chaco, Salta, Santiago del Estero and Corrientes.

Map (sorry for how it looks, in future i will keep adding a better version of it)

(Red) Chile and the former Argentinian territories of the Picton, Lennox and Nueva islands.

(Green) Brazil.

(Light Green) Brazil controlled Argentinian provinces of Misiones, Formosa, Jujuy and parts of Chaco, Salta, Santiago del Estero and Corrientes.

(Blue) Argentina.

(Pink) Falklands Island, British Overseas Territory,

Senator Lindsey Graham has died. How do we want our characters to react to this?

For most non-USians, it would probably be a case of "who?".
