Ongoing situations:
As of today 12/16, Houthis reportedly still are holding over 50 hostages, some hostages are UN members

It probably is not necessary to say anything beyond the title of this story, to help make clear the message, a situation with the ugliness of developments in Mali, while the Ukraine strife continues, is a mess that's growing.

Let's go back in history real quick to the social developments that were in 2 or 3 popular known steps that led up to the Holocaust. There were reports of horrors being committed, some it may have been ethnicity/'race' based violence, extremist unspeakable activities, that eventually led up to today's common conception of socialist versus democratic ideals split, and at some point oppressive activities, prison camps, and WWII.

The idea if never will certain types of atrocities and displacement occur again to certain ethnic groups, a rationale for today's conception of Israel.

Circling back to Azerbaijan region, where back about the middle to mid 1800s, while the US was at Civil War, ethnicity based atrocities were happening in town square. A brief reference to 'Baku-type' massacres and other developments. Some of the ethnic divides that existed then, are rarely even discussed in today's popular sociology discussions, or even known about by many in the generations born after about 1990.

The same kinds of ugly violence that happened there and then, or happening in Mali, per media reports. Bodily mutilation etc. Inhumane stuff too gratuitous to be taking pictures of it describe in detail.

Which begs the question, what is Russia doing in Mali?

Is it peace?

Are there some particular individuals in Mali supposedly from or representing Russia, acting way out of line?
   (A reference to incidents like, two young male soldiers or in soldier uniform, or a contractor, who ever or whatever, bursting into a tent and carrying out despicable acts.)

Is it a case of a few bad apples have spoiled the Russian mission there?

Is it a case where psychological techniques are being performed at precision, that no one would ever guess that gratuitous violence affecting folks just into their teens, had anything to do with it?

Different kinds of demons and three eyed or one eyed monsters emerging from the region?

Is socialism the shoe-string that's lasso-ing and retaining relations, that is bulwarking maybe even indirectly facilitating ongoing extremism and violence in Mali as we speak?

Mali leadership questions. 
How did things get this bad, that things got this bad?

There's a list of questions, ranging from no-brainer, to more complex spiraled out of control level. 

A salient, big dark blemish going around, is the money being made on the deal.

While all the this and that are happening politically, geopolitically, while acts of extremism, the same sort that got ISIS thrown out the ring of humane people, acts of extremism performed by supposedly Russians in Mali are doing, - the same as it's been by about the 200 years, a group of people have figured out how to stuff their money bag, and keep going, and keep nabbing up cash, while horror stories for other continue.

'Things have gotten crazy' for some Palestinians, trying to keep muddied water out of already squalid tents, the outgrowth of the outgrowth of the domino series of events of October 7th a few seasons ago.

On top of that, it appears that the global problem if illegal immigration, may also be affecting Palestine, in framework; what the rules are for immigration into the region, Palestine/Israel, might be different than say the USA, given the dynamic that people the world over are expected to be interested in at least visiting Palestine/Israel; however, the reason why illegal immigration is a problem is that some of the illegal immigrants have been engaging in extreme crimes against humanity, such as rise in gangs, branches of political groups setting up cells to try to take power, engaging in terrorism and extremism (NY subway incident), and the readily seen activities of transnational narcotic trafficking ring buildup.

So is that what people are attempting to do in Palestine?

Is that what people are attempting to do in Mali?

ISIS and whatever other 'terrorist' groups were sort of running amok around 10 years, in the Mali framework, might not have been the number one global terrorist problem, but it was problematic. Then the French and the US sort of for brief words, started to double team on mitigating terrorists. 

Now Russian forces, or Wagner group, now there's the 'African Corps' how ever exactly said in Russian, over there with the same mission; while, the US and Russia are at odds over the Ukraine situation.

So, at some nexus, the US and Russia could benefit from not being at odds, at least not entirely, when it comes to dealing with ISIS.

It can be kind of hard to walk around in a zigzag backward and forward at the same time.

Warm suggestion, humbly put, as many in comfortable living situations in the USA, parts of Europe, 3 bedroom houses with a garage, lights on, food in the refrigerator, are not going through the day to day like some Palestinians so hungry it's painful for days and days at a time, and some folks in Mali that are in predicaments like targets for vultures, the friendly vultures are recourses for protection from other vultures, so on and so forth, - clean up the mess, undbyuk the dbyuk, cap on the escalation of simple sick violence and psyche control tricks, halt the money grabbing at expense of the horror of others and no peace, before the situation is all but a bunch of stupidity where the hallmarks are uncontrolled, unabated, unpredictable violence springing up and down anywhere on the globe, and ISIS prospers with their activities unchecked.




Afterwords:
What is 3+3 referring to?; not intended to focus on a number of parties involved, rather 1+1 usually means simple, 2 plus 2, a next step in complexity, 3 plus 3 perhaps one more step to get the jist. Mali is not usually in front page news in the USA, so even if situations are 1 plus 1, 2 plus 2, there's a backlog of all that I formation that could lead to being underinformed. The idea is to get at the idea, and start the process of cleaning up before it's too late.

The US is not the only place going through these motions.
Aspects may swarm globally.

Right through here mid-November 2025, a lot of people are trying to distinguish right from left, and sort out the good guys from the bad guys in Kashmir, post the Red Fort blast, 11/10, a few days ago.

Although the incident may have physically affected a certain amount of people, it has affected many in other aspects, and could be used as a model to study in the prevention of other incidents and hence peace altogether.

In the beginning processes of investigations, Kashmir came under the limelight.

Concerns of different kinds have arisen besides just mitigating what might look to be bad guys. Such as, are good guys getting wrongfully accused, what could stop that, the fair sorting process and ensuring of that.

There is a markedly salient concern, which is the use of vague and standard religious concepts words, to refer to terror groups that may claim religion but practice so little of it if it all, they almost have nothing to do with it.

There are terms and concepts in existence that have been here since about as long as man his been in existence, at least; for example, here are a few very old words and concepts that are universally acceptable in themselves, with Arabic and globally recognized transliterations into English that are commonly woven into terror group names these days:
Peace - Islam
Pure - Hanif
Helper - Nasr
Army - Jaysh

Not only is the existence or prospect of the existence of terror groups a concern, gangs are also problematic. It gets more complex when gangs start out doing good and simple acceptable activities, such as bringing food to the elderly, then they grow, and start slowly turning toward left directives, such as gaining money is the top priority even if they are breaking the law, then comes ongoing criminal activity for money, the obfuscation, the process of making themselves shadowy, recruitment and exploitation of youth, power trips, and so on. Moreover is the involvement with terrorist activity and forming links with terror groups, perhaps even morphing into terror groups themselves.

The following is a briefly put together slice of developments that could form up the situation of who is on the right, the left, questions abound whether there has been crossing the line in the sand from religious to criminality. A few comments are provided. Meanwhile in the US, over the past week, news is rife with people with 'Muslim Middle Eastern sounding names using the names of well known legends of high degree', sometimes in hand-holding conspiracies with others with Latino or Hispanic names, etc. Places like NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, and areas in Texas, are contending with these problems.

Most of the content below are translations from Turkish to English. The slice:

Reference fetö/pdy or FETO/PDY-

In the contemplating stage. (Reference, here are the books up behind me, Quran, Injeel, Bible, Toreh, biographies of a number Presidents, such as Taft and Truman, and other books on renown financial erudites such as The Snowball, Warren Buffett, and the Business of Life.)

Many thanks


Afterwords 
Today's narcotics trafficking and laundering methodologies might roll out moment to moment, slightly different from ways of 25 or more years ago.  It may be harder to envision on a corporeal level, trades and vague shell entities all done through computers, than chasing a local peddler up the street after he passes by your house. The end result is pretty much the same, aside from all the financial by-products, a physical products is somehow ingested, taking less and less quantity as time moves along to be extremely lethal. 
MSBs acting as PMLOs etc, facilitating nitric this or that, beyond fentanyl, such as car/remi ... fent etc.

Major newspapers have done a marvelous job of helping keep everyone's nerves soothed.
There's a time for that, directives may be in place from superiors, no one wants to be fired by being negative, however, somewhere in the bubble between being nice and being real, knowing reality can help invigorate the many different hands that pitch in and help move the mountain where it needs to be.
Today this far has been a little bit different than the 'business as usual', both literally and figuratively.
Food stores are almost empty, when they ordinarily would be overcrowded.
Why?, the reason is simple and plain to see. People either don't have as much money as they ordinarily do, or they still have some, but are being very careful about spending it.

As of the moment of this writing begin, somewhere between 12 noon and 12:15pm, government 'shutdown is still in effect.

Government, federal, and military jobs for a long time has provided staple income for numerous families; not just in the USA, or a town built near a military base, but for any nation anywhere anytime.

When Uncle Sam is not exchanging money, and employees aren't receiving it, there's a real obvious domino effect. One person doesn't get money, the next person doesn't get money, the next the next, and so on.
Employees don't get money, the grocery stores wind up with less goods sold, demand in a way goes down respective supply. Clothing stores, movie theaters, recreational facilities, places and businesses that provide goods and services for social activities are moved toward the bottom of the priority list. People that use these businesses as sources of income to feed their families essentially get some of the same brunts as government employees when their income is cut.

News in the Most Recent of the Added to the Union States

Alaska dealing with several different kinds of outages.
Outages from the Typhoon Halong, outages in Anchorage in connection to power load distribution, and IT outages at Alaska Airlines correlating to about $26 million in loss.

Somewhere around this time last year, there was some bull jive talk about Russia looking over the idea of trying to take Alaska 'back'.

Right now in Hawaii, there are indeed some challenges that need to be contended with, such as crime and road speeding, but crime is not at inordinate frequency and amount, to where there's an inordinately large problem.

Hegseth is or was over there recently, en route destinations in Asia.

He was in the forefront of headline news just before government shutdown when in an extreme rarity roughly 800 military generals, admirals, and high ranking officials were summoned.

You tell me if there wasn't something in the air that caused a premonition. I won't dare say there was.
