The status of Zimbabwe

Post by Setzer »

During dinner, I was talking about when Mugabe might fall. I thought it would be a few years, due to his incompetent management of the country. Any thoughts?

He's lasted for a couple decades already, the countries new level of fuckdom won't knock him out.

The only time that was likely was when it looked like the UK might have to intervene militarily to evacuate its many citizens in the country. But with most of the white farms already taken out of the picture the time for that to happen is long past.

He'll fall quickly if he pisses off the US. Otherwise, he'll be in there fucking his people over until the day he dies.

I'm actually rather amazed at his ability to take a good thing and so thoroughly fuck it over.

Five years at best.

Mugabe's got a new lease on life courtesy of the military. They've not yet acclimate to life in that hell-hole after their trek in the Congo. It'll take a while before they begin to realize it's not rioters but Mugabe himself that put the country on a downward spin. After that? Welcome, MDC.
