I thought the assassination occurred after the war had concluded.
Yes and no.
You gotta remember back in the day there was no cellphones. There was no telephones. There was written orders delivered by rider. There was significant communication lag.
You have stuff like the final battles of the War of 1812 taking place like a month after the treaty ending the war was signed. You can see this as late as WWI where outside of Europe, the Central Powers were given in some case over a month to reign in all their commanders and instruction them how to surrender.
This was also made harder by the fact the Confederacy was, in real sense, not one government but a dozen. Davis had very little power to try to get the states to do anything they didn't want to do.
Abe was killed after Lee surrendered and it was pretty clear the South was not going to win this one. After news got out about Lee's surrender, major operations effectively ceased but it was a little bit before the Civil War officially ended and federal government control was restored.
Yahoo! owns AOL now apparently. They had also been bought by Verizon but were sold off to a private equity firm in a bundle deal a few years ago. Seems like they're in a situation similar to the one that Kmart and Sears were in before they eventually went under.
You have it a little twisted.
Verizon bought AOL and Yahoo. Verizon then effectively killed AOL, selling off portions company (mostly patent chest), Version "bought" some of AOL's assets (again mostly patents) and had Yahoo "buy" parts of AOL they weren't selling off. Then Verizon bundled Yahoo, what was left of AOL, and some other "legacy" entities into a company called Oath. They attempted to sell off Oath. At that point I stopped paying attention that close.
I haven't followed closely because A) its too depressing and B) I used AIM & YIM until their shutdowns. I tried to use the supergay YIM reboot but it was terrible. Anyway, once it was clear neither service was returning I found alternatives and stopped caring that much about the decline of once great companies as the internet turns more and more gay.
So funny story, did you know that Yahoo Messenger getting shut down nearly derailed the commodities trading industry in the west?
To make this as short as possible:
YIM supported plugin integrations back before that was a normal thing to do, and supported them more cleanly and natively than MSM/AIM. One of these plugins allowed message encryption. It was fast and widely available, so it became THE platform for commodities traders; literal hundred million dollar deals being worked out on YIM.
YIM was shut down before a viable replacement was found. IIRC the replacement is some program that uses SMS but encrypts the messages.
This is one of the reasons Yahoo Finance was such a fucking beast back in the day, and still zombies along hitting well above its weight.
Costa Rica has english as an official language you retard.
I don't want her back. Stay and get behead by a cartel your overprivileged retard. Its all me, me, me.
Saddam had the 3rd largest army on earth and it had loads of experience from iran.
Point of order, it was 4th in desert storm.
US, USSR, China, UK, Iraq
The USSR hadn't disbanded and Brits had not yet gone full cuck. In 2003 it might have #3 with the Brits having contracted.
Everyone was tricked tbf, the only person who figured out the truth was one random guy on the ground who spotted the bombers heading east instead of West
One poster on here called it; I was convinced the East flying bombers were the distraction because I didn't think Turkey was going to permit use of their airspace or Italy themselves to be used as the origin point.
tbf I also didn't anticipate the full spread of air assets that supported the strike.
