It takes a while to adapt...

It also started one !!
I think it was between Honduras and Nicaragua or some other central american countries, it lasted a few days and end up with lots of deaths.

I don't think that the path of "comparing sorrid history" is one that any TMA wants to take.
TMA are full of a history of violence, racisim, drugs and much more.
