Why the fsck does someone always have to be at fault? It was a fscking natural disaster, get over it.

No.

We could call it even for the slavery thing so they would shut up already about their reparations.

 

[BannedTroll]

No and it will come from the Canary Islands and not South Africa.

La Palma, Canary Islands

la Palma is an active volcano with a rift down the center left from it's last major eruption in 1994. Scientists predict the western slope could collapse causing a mega tsunami that would reach the US east coast.

No. I suppose if "South Africa" threw a huge mountain into the ocean causing a tsunami they might be liable, but if it just falls in it's not their fault.

Better than that, diamonds. Something like 15% of the world supply
