didn't see this coming at all...
Not to worry... Mugabe has promised no one will starve. I guess that means he plans to have his goons shoot anyone who threatens to starve to death -- in the interest of national security, you see.
Watching this train wreck as it plunges over the bridge.
Its so sad - Another disaster because despotic thugs have plundered private farms
Zimbabwe is what we could become if we allow all our farmers to go broke.
Time to chide the ol' U S of A for not doing enough to help them out of their plight.
Perhaps the starving citizens will screw up their courage, and revolt...
Or -- are they determined to live like slaves until some dastardly evil white man comes to "free them" again??
Looks like colonialism was about the right length in India, but pulled from Africa too soon.
Our industrial farmers aren't going broke. Zimbabwe is what we could become if we abandon market principles in order to subsidize inefficient family farms. Sorry folks but the family farm is dead unless they adapt to specialized niches.
Afruca. They keep doing this to themselves and somehow it is always the fault of the rest of the world.
No more monetary aid, no more food packages and no more medical assistance unless they unconditionally submit to Western (read USA) rule and reeducation.
Western Marxists will have aneurysms over this but they should be ignored.
The only other option is a complete write-off of the entire continent and total disengagement. No travel in or out. Let Africa revert to the Pleistocene Era and then turn it into a giant theme park.
You have nothing to eat? Then eat Robert Mugabe.
I try not to buy into superstitious beliefs, but I've always been told that it's bad luck to kill off your whites.
Only a matter of time til the Kwashiorkor bloated kids appear on TV, the aid flows like water, and Mugabe's crew is entrenched for decades...
No, it took government intervention to produce what Zimbabwe has become.
The loose association of tribal thugs that calls itself
the government there has authorized taking of game from
the national parks to make up the shortfall.
They will be eating each other soon enough.
