It's interesting that both Indian and Bangladesh are working with Arakan Army on border situations. This is not always the case when other rebels capture junta territory. AA are well organized.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/61729359

The US economy grew at a significantly slower pace than initially estimated for the final months of 2025, government data showed Friday, a major downgrade that comes as fallout from war in the Middle East looms.

US GDP rose at an annual rate of 0.7 percent in the fourth quarter, the Commerce Department said.

This was sharply down from its earlier estimated 1.4 percent over the October to December period.

I was never high on McCarthy in college. He's a game manager, not a game changer. He got drafted high because of his size. He reminds me of Trubisky pick. Scouts rated him high because he "looked like a QB". Not from his game tapes, not from his decision making. sheesh.
