    The Circumstances implies we found ourselves here. The Consequences would be more appropriate, as we placed ourselves in this position.

    The consequences makes it sound too passive idk. We should keep searching for a name.

    The Gangstering would be more accurate. As in effect, and in reality, our government has been seized by gangsters.

    That's actually a good idea, reminds me of the Troubles in Norther Ireland. Wouldn't be surprised if terrorism would be on the rise, especially after the dismantling of USAID.

    There was a MeidasTouch Video a week ago which touched on the subject, where the US Military admitted that they lost a lot of access to intel in Africa, and what little intel they got points into the direction that paramilitaries and terrorist groups are thriving and building up large amounts of ressources.

    I remember hearing a NPR podcast episode about how they call it "The thing" in Venezuela so if the police never know if people are talking about the kidnaping or the price of bread.

    I always wondered in school why the IRA were the " bad guys". I think everyone else thought IRA was a type of beer.
