Chagos Islands: Mauritian flag raised on British-controlled islands, By Lauren Turner, BBC News

The Mauritian flag has been raised for the first time on the Chagos Islands, an Indian Ocean archipelago controlled by Britain but claimed by Mauritius.

Mauritian PM Pravind Jugnauth described it as an "historic moment", saying it was time for the UK to cede control.

The event was the culmination of a trip to the islands organised by the Mauritian government.

The Foreign Office said: "The UK has no doubt as to our sovereignty over the British Indian Ocean Territory."

The ceremony, led by the Mauritian ambassador to the UN, took place on the atoll of Peros Banhos, where a pre-recorded message from Mr Jugnauth was played. A flag was also raised on Salomon, a separate atoll.

Three UN bodies have ruled that the archipelago, which has a population of about 3,000, is part of Britain's old empire and should be handed to Mauritius.

We should all quit pretending - the war Afghanistan is over - the profit potential of COVID is starting to look uncertain - lets just do a war.

Its profitable
It distracts people from how shitty the economy is
It gives politicians a platform for pandering to war protestors
It gives politicians a platform for pandering to defense contractors
Its profitable
It fills broadcast time during slow news days
It helps generate jobs for Fox and CNN military news contributors
Its profitable
It creates a reliable voting base from returning veterans
It creates a reliable voter base from war protestors
PLUS, Its EXTREMELY profitable

It only sucks for those that have to shoulder the burden of sacrifice - but for everyone else...
.... its EXTREMELY profitable

DO.A.WAR.
DO.A.WAR.
DO.A.WAR.

Come on everybody - call your local news network and get them to step up their coverage - get your local news to bring on a bunch of folks that will profit from doing a war so they can talk about how bad we need to do a war !!!

If we all work together we can get CNN and FOX and MSDNC and GMA to do the same shit that Joe Pulitzer and Bill Hearst did to push the USA into wars in Cuba and the Philippines.
Then we can blame it all on the patriarchy and misogyny and systemic racism and climate change...
...because those are also reliably exploitable profit streams.

Oh, and Trump - we'll have to blame it on him too.
