holy shit its been forever March 3rd

i'll just hop right back into it, school got hectic and shit so um yea

israel and palestine are back at it with an exchange of fire

the assassination of guinea-bissaus former president joao bernardo vieira has not been ruled as a coup, its been linked to a conflict with the drug trade in west africa. for those who dont know, west africa is usually a stop along the way for coke heading to europe

times lied and said obama sent a letter to medvedev stating it would end its ballistic misile defense system in return for cooperation in halting irans nuclear program. medvedev denied it, once again the times is writing a bunch of bullshit, supriiiise

with no link cause im too lazy; hillary clinton took her first trip to israel as a member of the cabinet and hamas wasnt impressed at all and theyre expecting the same fucking policies. duh

venezuelas state run oil company petroleos de venezuela will try and cut 40% of production costs because the price of oil is shit and hugo is trying as hard as he can to save money for money on socialist programs

russias state gas company gazprom will now provide gas to another european nation, this one being spain. a "strategic partnership" between the two countries have always come to fruition and they should be meeting yearly to discuss issues that concern the both. i cant think of too many that do

80-1?

sup, 80-1 refers to the book Around the World in 80 Days. Well, just the 80 part. the 1 refers to the service of going the around the world with the news in just 1 day. a days worth of world news for the day. im not an aspiring journalist or an english major so i wont even pretend. i just want to accomplish something real simple here:

summarize world news into a really lazy ass format for you. the key word here is lazy because i may be summarizing a news aricle or maybe an essay but when i put it on here it shouldnt be more than a page. ill be sure to post whatever interesting stats and figures that come along too so you can rattle them off in convo and be that dude.

so yea, happy reading
