New month new thread motherfuckers.

We were discussing Couch Guy from the last thread.

Without my retirement pension, marriage, family, and a lot of therapy and drugs I’d totally be hot couch guy material.

i tend to believe it's an artifact of the general cheapification of furniture cuz peeps wised up to the fact that it depreciates pretty much 100% real fast

nobody fuckin buys used couches anymore in particular, cuz bedbugs, so couch manufacturers cheap the gently caress out on the faux leather

its not just about the guy, in other words

I'm seriously considering having some leather and foam ordered at work, pay the rate for labor to make some cushions in the shop, and spending $100 on wood to build my own couch frame. I like external frames for my furniture.

A year or so ago Maduro tried to hire assassins to kill Marco Rubio because Rubio had said mean things about him, but they immediately ratted him out after leaving Venezuela.

I'm not saying we should do anything to Venezuela (we shouldn't), but that's the most legitimate causus belli America has had in decades.

Roughly ten years back, there was a bunch of articles kicking around how the CIA has no resources left to do pretty much anything in Central/South America because the WoT hoovered up every resources. So, probably because of that.

What the gently caress.

They kept that incredibly quiet, drat. Do you have a source though? Everything I can find online only points to an uncorroborated attempt from a Venezuelan lawmaker.

quote:



On Feb. 10, 2008, Joseph Fradel, an American citizen, was stopped and searched at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport while en route back to the United States. Russian airport security officials found in Fradel’s possession a second U.S. passport under a different name.

Fradel’s response was unexpected: He immediately attempted to eat the second passport. When security officers grabbed the partially ingested passport, they saw the picture on the second document was the same as in Fradel’s passport, but the name wasn’t Joseph Fradel. It was Naum Morgovsky. Russian authorities let the man leave the country, but alerted their U.S. counterparts about the potential identity theft.

When Fradel landed in San Francisco, he was confronted by U.S. officials, and was found carrying credit cards in Morgovsky’s name, as well as business cards for Hitek, a night-vision company owned by Morgovsky.

A Joseph Fradel had died in Maryland in 1969. The real name of the traveler, who was arrested on the spot for passport fraud, was indeed Naum Morgovsky.

Then, for nearly a decade, the court case describing the passport-eating incident disappeared, sealed by a federal judge. This summer, Naum Morgovsky, an immigrant from Soviet-era Ukraine, and his wife, Irina Morgovsky, pleaded guilty in San Francisco federal court to breaking U.S. laws on exporting military equipment.

At its core, the case against the Morgovskys, which prosecutors have described as “a dizzying panoply of criminal activity,” revolved around allegations that the couple masterminded a scheme to export hundreds of military-grade night-vision device parts and other image-intensifier technologies to Russia, in violation of U.S. export control laws. Many of these devices were smuggled to a Moscow-based night-vision company that is a supplier to the Russian military and the FSB, the main successor agency to the KGB.

The Morgovskys’ tale, however, is not an isolated one. Former intelligence officials say it’s part of a larger story of Russia’s appetite for Western cutting-edge technologies with military applications. The Department of Justice has prosecuted at least five cases involving the illegal export of night-vision equipment to Russia in the past five years. All five cases involved the latest generation of night-vision devices that Russia in recent years has had trouble producing domestically.
