What weapons do you think these blokes were carrying? Vatniks and Vance can report to the designated seething/embarrassment area. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/british-paratroopers-lead-airdrop-onto-tristan-da-cunha-suspected-hantavirus-2026-05-10/
>>65146607There was a British girl as the receptionist on the phone today. Here voice was cute and she was so nice. I'm so lonely.
>>65146610I once met a woman working a low level job at WalMart in the deep south, English accent and probably in her early 40sI wonder how on earth that happened
Probably none because it was a humanitarian misson
Why did providing medical aid require an airborne operation?
>>65146633No airstrip, would take too long for the RN to get there.
>>65146621Only reason a girl like that would end up in a place like that is for love.
>>65146633The patient was on oxygen and supplies were running low. Takes over a week to get a boat there, so they sent in the flying bongs to help.
>>65146607wtf is this hantavirus? Another biolab leak?
>>65146691If the coronavirus came from bats, the hantavirus came from rats.
>>65146691Organic highly deadly (20-30% cfr) virus that in the past was only contained in the small mountain villages it occurred in because quarantine was enforced through threat of lethal force.Did you know that the second person to die of this strain was on a full flight while sick and dying, and then vomited and collapsed dead in the middle of an international airport in Johannesburg? It's like something out of a movie.
>>65146691Cruise ship was nasty with rats and the cruise liner is stupidly letting people get off
>>65146713Zero rats on the ship. It's a specific Argentinian mouse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligoryzomys_longicaudatus that spreads this Andes virus.The Andes virus spreads human-to-human.
>>65146633Tristan da Cunha is in the running for the most remote and isolated year round human populations on earth.Just a couple hundred bongs on a tiny rock way down in the south Atlantic.
>>65146725Cool place. Random volcano in the middle of the sea that people choose to live on for whatever reason.
>>65146728Very interesting place, pretty too.I think I found it on google earth one day and now it's been stuck in my mind.What's wild is learning fish and lobsters or whatever they catch down there end up on tables in Europe, mostly the UK. Maybe other places for all I know.The lobster is the big one they're pushing as a brand and I'm kind of rooting for them
>>65146728>Random volcano in the middle of the sea that people choose to live on for whatever reason.The pic in >>65146725 makes it look pretty nice.It's forested so it mustn't erupt catastrophically very often.I'm sure they get a lot of gibs for being there and extending British sovereignty (and mineral rights) into the Southern Atlantic.I'm a little surprised they don't have an airstrip but the web says that they have no suitable terrain and there are very high winds that make landing infeasible.
>>65146607>ywn tandem paradrop with a cute nurse onto a tiny south Atlantic islandwhy even live?
>>65146691another zoonotic virus that has recently evolved human to human transmissionyou can expect to see more and more of these going forward as population growth, habitat destruction and climate change force ever more people to live in close contact with the animals that carry these diseases over time
>>65146734I definitely think the lobster is a safer bet than... handmade romantic woolen tube socks https://www.tristandc.com/handlovesocks.php

There's more images and a video on the municipal website. Neat!https://www.tristandc.com/news-2026-05-09-airdrop.php
>>65146734here's an other neat place you've probably not heard about with similar vibes.I've actually been there and aside from a slight accent they are as frog as the frogs in Paris. well perhaps a bit more frog than the "frogs" in Paris https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon
>>65146750Oh I know those guys from the time their Vichyness caused a bit of a stir.But CdG and pals swooped in and bloodlessly toppled them because he was afraid the Canadians would occupy it for safekeeping then not give it back
>>65146698Nice to see that nothing was learned from the Wuhan bat flu
>>65146644LivinOnAPrayer.mp3
>>65146714Yes, it requires a very special delivery system. Argentina you say? How exotic...
>>65146728Can you *live* there or is it all imports? The fishing must be top at least.
>>65146737>Ugh your bayonet is sticking into me!>I didn't bring my- oh yeah my bad totally my bayonet!
>>65146621I've seen a handful of misplaced British in the US. Notably one that I'm rather sure was an illegal immigrant because of a few conversations I overheard lived in a complex I used to live in. Man in his 30's or so, very classic somewhat posh accent. Kind of day late and dollar short kind of guy, looked a bit like John Oliver.Other was a real specimen. Worked at a call center I briefly worked at. Only overheard her at first and thought someone was doing a ridiculous over the top accent as a bit. Nope, it's this short fat lady who looked no joke like an britbong caricature down to horrific teeth. I also see bong immigrant cops weirdly often in bodycam videos and upon looking it up, it turns out a fair amount of British cops immigrate to work law enforcement in the US.
>>65146633Trump recently made comments about the changing the US's stance towards the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, so now Whitehall is making a show of supporting island communities."Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said: "This extraordinary operation reflects our unwavering commitment to the people of our overseas territories and to British nationals, wherever they are."
>>65146691Rat piss and shit, we get this stuff in the US but its rare. You see it in cases where there's an infestation/hoarder piles get cleaned out.
>>65146827>Can you *live* there or is it all imports?It looks like it has sufficient farming area just in that photo to support the community.Every manufactured product would be imported from/via South Africa but they seem to have a fishing industry which is their main export.
>>65146844>it turns out a fair amount of British cops immigrate to work law enforcement in the USGiven the low standards, they probably washed out from British policing and moved on like a bishop when the parents found out.Maybe a few Dirty Harry types who want to play with guns and shoot people.
>>65146739We could start by eating less meat.
>>65146691>wtf is this hantavirus? Another biolab leak?Its possible its a biolab designed virus but it is a virus that naturally infests rodents and that cruise ship is likely to carry 10 000 rats. Hantaviruses are RNA viruses meaning that they mutate pretty quickly and any efficient crossover strain that can infect humans will breed itself into a basic cold after a month or two. There is even a sabotage enzyme inside human cells that swap RNA virus nucleotides so that the virus keeps its form but loses functionality. This doesnt necessarily save the host but the next person infected has a chance of catching an enfeebled virus and then his own sabotage enzymes are going to wreck it even further. The original coronavirus was highly lethal and could infect the brain stem which was the cause of those infamous chink sudden death videos but the strains that made it out of china had been enfeebled from passing trough millions of chinks on the way. Do you remember that some people complained about losing their sense of smell for six months after a covid infection? That was a vestigal capability left over from the original virus, it infected nasal nerve cells and travelled to the brain via the nerve sheaths.
>>65146714>Zero rats on the shipI seriously doubt that. The crews (with the exception of some senior officers) on these ships are ultra low wage third worlders and they just dont give a shit about rats, cockroaches or bedbugs. I should not need to explain this to an american.
>>65146902or maybe they're tried of getting stabbed when their pepper spray doesn't work for the nth time
>>65146739>another zoonotic virus that has recently evolved human to human transmissionZoonotic crossovers happens more often than you think, I once spoke to a woman who used to shoe horses, she got infected by some unknown sickness that totally wrecked her. An obvious cross speices transmission with the most likely source being horses. The common cold is produced trough a tri speices zoonosis cycle in far east asia, IIRC its pigs to birds to humans to pigs again. Thats why successful strains that go global carry asia related names as they are first detected close to the origin.
>>65147027The thing with zoonoses is that they are not adapted for human to human transmission so they generally do not get very far. They are also not adapted to replicating inside humans so they kill themselves by killing the host. An infamous example of the latter is the rabies virus.
>>65147025>or maybe they're tried of getting stabbed when their pepper spray doesn't work for the nth timeWhat part of:>>65146902>Maybe a few Dirty Harry types who want to play with guns and shoot people...didn't you understand?
>>65146728Britain ruled the waves partly because of all those little scraps of land they colonised. You could be virtually anywhere on earth and you'd always have some kind of port you could stop at.
>>65146607Why would you use paratroopers when you should have mobile hospitals to use? Where is the RFA Argus, while not a hospital ship it is a 100 bed medical equipped vessel. What the fuck kind of navy doesn't have a hospital ship?
>>65146636It is an 11 km wide island with a port. The people were taken off of a ship that had to drive there from the southern tip of South America. There was more than enough time to get a ship there from the UK.
>>65147063Theres no serious airstrip and the boats take time to get there. This is a triage mission.
>>65146902>Given the low standardsHow dare you. There are no standards.
It's a pretty cool place. I stopped by there on the way to and from my expedition to Gough Island. Managed to snap a picture of the town's solitary policeman.
>>65147121Comfy. Wonder how often he's even got a job to do.
Who do they send to do a job like that? PF, SPAG or some UKSF medical unit?
>>65146698>small mountain villagesWhere tf do you get your misinformation?
>>65146621I moved to Texas from sweden because I married a Texan woman. Then I joined the army and ended up in 2id at jblm and everyone was confused as fuck why I was there
>>65146742>handmade romantic woolen tube socksYou have a "love sock" already, don't you?
>>65147158>Wonder how often he's even got a job to doIt's an island, think of small town america where you can't easily run off to the city and imagine how corrupt that could get after a few generations of an entrenched mayor or something.Or better yet, just read up on Pitcairn Island.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Pitcairn_Islands#Sex_crimes_convictions
I bought a Polish gas mask+a shit ton of filters as a casual gas mask for lack of a better term like two days before all this.Though, I predict that it'll be contained and be remembered as that one time that ship caught Ebola 2.0
>>65146691Another bio attack by Russia that the US has to be goaded into taking action against, as is their custom
>>65146698We should probably put in place a world wide policy to start sinking these disease breeding petri dish ships if they let even one person off on an inhabited shore. They should be forced to anchor near deserted islands then medical help can be airdropped or sailed out to them. Fucking boomers and their idea of fun being stuck within four feet of several hundred to several thousand other old, probably sick people for days on end are eventually going to breed some ultra seizure vomit shit virus that takes out a third of humanity.
>>65146725it's not "in the running" it is the most remote continuously habited place and it is not even close.also pretty much the entire population is partially descended from a handful of Italian shipwreck survivors who got washed ashore and decided to stay.
>>65146844>>65146902Everything else aside a British police officer at any level will effectively double his salary (before overtime) by relocating to the United States. People forget that the UK has a lower GDP per capita than Mississippi. Their houses are less than half the size of American houses, and most of those houses share walls with your neighbors. They have to keep their (clothes) washing machines in the kitchen. American taxes are lower. American healthcare is better, especially when you are a public service worker.And if he ever changes his mind about any of that, he can just go back to working in the UK without any particular hassle, and in any case it's only a four or five hour flight from the Northeast United States to London.
>>65147002Yes which require more space for farming and destruction of habitat you fucking giga retarded nigger
>>65147016Neat
>>65147002>weyou are brown
>>65147293It would require less.It takes more land to feed the animals than to simply grow the equivalent calories.
>>65146902>Maybe a few Dirty Harry types who want to play with guns and shoot people.pretty much.They're the type that join the police because they're not cut out for the Army.The plod that just want better pay and lifestyle go and become coppers in Australia or New Zealand.
>>65147158My Grans village had a local panty thief. The next village over had a rapist. Now that I'm thinking about it, she had no end of stories from the surrounding villages. We'd be driving along a country road, and she'd say "Old so-and-sos kids came off the road here. They found one of them in a bush, the other in a tree." I love her but she can be a miserable fucker.tl;dr He's probably more busy than you'd think
>>65146698>the airport story is reali am so fucking livid i can't post images right now. reading that it actually fucking happened and wasn't some invented scare story for engagement bait is actually both hilarious and at the same time deeply unsettling.
>>65146607hello lads
>>65147169Are you kidding?They're like $40 for a pair minus shipping which must be unimaginable buttfucking expensive.And wool socks make my feet itch
>>65147358Australia is currently prosecuting its most decorated soldier for fake and gay war crimes from 20 years ago. I can't imagine the police are treated much better. You could not pay me enough to be a civil servant on that shithole island.
>>65147576He's on video executing some random civvie for fun, anon
>>65147576>You could not pay me enough to be a civil servant on that shithole island.Apparently they can pay bong coppers enough to do it though.Now go back to /meg/ and talk about warcrimes more
>>65147604Fun? No. There was a purpose. The issue was he kept making a stink about a news station that showed the vid until the Australian government decided to scapegoat him.
>>65147165what can i say, Sweden is not sending the smartest.
>>65147002Faggot
>>65147002or stop eating mouse piss and shit
>>65146691Usually mouse feces to human, european strains go from cough, renal failure, lil bit fatal. New world ones fo from kinda fatal to very fatal. The argentian spreads easily from human to human on the day of first fever symptoms. Incubation time: up to 60 days. Good times ahead.
>>65147849>:(
>>65146725Ah this is the island that had so few ships visit it that it learned about WW1 happening after it was already over as the last ship had visited in 1909, also one of the islands in the island cluster is called "inaccessible island"
>>65148188>north point>east point>cave rock>pig beachThe individual elements support the name of the island. It's all shit you can just see while you sail by. Give the mountain a name, sure, but the rest of it? Saw a pig on that beach once. Fuck it, pig beach. Let's move on
>>65147165>married an American woman>joined the US militaryYou're retarded enough to belong here
Rats spread it? Simple solution, we EAT the rats!
>>65146761>>65146810Sounds like a comfy station for a frog sailor
>>65147178>all the grown men just molest the girls>everyone was whatever aboutGrim, I thought island life was relaxing
>>65148208
>>65148331>Grim, I thought island life was relaxingSo are small towns but ask anyone who lived in one.The small town I lived in, one family had girls who all had six or seven toes and one of them had extra fingers removed as a baby.The youngest girl tried to kill herself by jumping off a water tower and the others were all pretty fucked up mentally too, depressed, stealing shit, causing trouble...That sort of thing happens in small towns all the time but it doesn't get into the brochures somehow.
>>65147445It's quite literally the plot of a shitty pnademic video. Some random googly eyed faggot having the sweats and the shakes, nobody stops him to get a health check, he later collapses and dies in the middle of the airport.
>>65149167>It's quite literally the plot of a shitty pnademic videoTwelve Monkeys did it way earlier.
>>65146827There's three places of employment, fishing boats, the fish factory and the local government.Also it's population is in freefall, down from 270 to 223 in 10 years. It turns out people do not, in fact, want to live on a tiny island surrounded by their relatives after they get the internet and see what's out there.
>>65147402>Thieving dirty knickers from your cousins four times removed on a remote island That's the real paradise for a /k/ommando.
>another imaginary jew viruslmao nobodys going to fall for this a second time.
>>65149161>>65148331>>65147178I always feel like the people on here and on /pol/ who lionise rural llife do not actually live rurally, or moved there as adults and don't know the communities very well.It's a little different when half the girls at your school are pregnant at 13 and your best friend Billy is in the hospital with broken ribs for the the fourth time this year trying to defend his 12 year old sister from getting raped by his dad. And everybody knows but nobody does anything.
>>65149189>Chronic masturbator detected
>>65149309Fuck you, I'm a chronic masturbator and I don't fall for disinfo about viruses and vaccines.That anon is just a retard.
>>65147165>I moved to Texas from sweden because I married a Texan woman. Then I joined the army and ended up in 2id at jblm and everyone was confused as fuck why I was thereYou confused them with your wierd back story and muppet chef speak. How did you encounter a Texan woman in Sweden?
>>65146739Covid 19 came from a lab
>>65148208The novelty of naming things during an expedition wears off pretty quickly. Also, most places are named like that anyway, simply describing the area of who owned it at a certain point.
>>65149220>Town leadership does whatever it wants with no consequences.>Fucks underage girls in an open secret>Nobody cares enough to do anything Huh, I feel like I've heard this somewhere before.
>>65146633It's a zombie outbreak. Cuntavirus is their cover story.
>>65149635>Fucks underage girls in an open secretI realise that statutory rape is still rape but the children weren't willing in the majority of those cases, it was raping children and not just "on a technicality" like when you groom one, it was grabbing them on the way home from school and dragging them into the woods.
>>65146889Weren't ziggers getting it from the rats in their filthy trenches?
>>65149220>I always feel like the people on here and on /pol/ who lionise rural llife do not actually live rurally, or moved there as adults and don't know the communities very well.That's probably a fair assessment. Growing up in the middle of nowhere sucked, it was OK as an adult but that was only because it was cheap and I had more control over who I interacted with. Unfortunately my little corner of nowhere has become somewhere and it's right back to sucking.
