      Where’s the Mexican, the American and the French guy? “Diosico Diosico que caiga diosico! Y que cae de osico.” That’s the Mexican punchline. Give me a like if you know the joke!

        I translated that, but it’s doesn’t get the joke across:

        God-God God let God fall! And that falls from the bear.

        The French are best poop, but the American one is lost on me

          So this offensive Mexican joke is that several people of different nationalities are jumping from an airplane. They all realize that their back pack has no function except for the American. He jumps, pulls the chord, a parachute opens and he lands safely. Then the rest jump but their parachute is just a backpack. So, mid air, they all begin to pray. Each pray for different soft things to land on… For example the French man would pray “dios mio, dios mio que caiga end in colchon” which translated to English is “my god, my god have me land on a cushion/mattress”. Fast forward to our Mexican representative who is usually either Indian/indigenous or from some place like Chiapas where people are short, brown and speak funny due to all the China, Japan and Filipino trade of years past…they fake the accent by saying “diosico” instead of “diosito” which translates to “little God” God in an endearing way. But since we already spent too long on the joke, he has no time to finish his prayer…" Diosico, diosico! Que caiga diosico! Splat!.. He falls mouth first on the ground became diosico sounds also like “de osico” which translates to " from the mouth" worst is that osico is the word for a beast’s mouth like a bear, a horse or a dog. At this point everybody laughs. As I am now older, much older and American… So wiser… I realize just how shitty Mexican racism is towards the most vulnerable Mexicans of which group I am one of. Anyway, I hope this helps. Maybe someone can make it Russian and tell putin he’s an imbecile.

    Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there’s not much to find. It’s perfectly plausible that the crew consists of a bunch of idiots.

    No matter what the truth actually is, it’s impossible to prove.

      It isn’t even a proper investigation as I read it. There were Chinese officials supervising the activities. Though I wonder what they could find, after the crew had ample time to get prepared, and to get rid of whatever evidence they might have had.

      But they did drag the anchor for 100 miles (link WSJ). Dragging an anchor for 100 miles would’ve been very noticeable for any crewmember, experts say.
