the stinking enigma Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Actually, that's a bit unfair on the don. This was in the pipeline, so to speak, long before he turned up saying no more regime change. Tremendous bit of hypocrisy from Macron though, top drawer. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN1PI17T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIchard Britten Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 The US is basically enthroning a choosen leader who will be friendly towards US interests and US business movements. It sounds so familiar...if only I could put my finger on it (Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, most of South America at one point or another, Syria, Libya....)

TheTeapot Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 US NSA and absolute cunt John Bolton has weighed in Quote "Venezuela is one of the three countries I call the Troika of Tyranny," Bolton told Trish Regan. "It would make a big difference for the US economically if we could have American oil companies really invest in and produce the oil capabilities in Venezuela. It would be good for the people of Venezuela, it would be good for the people of the US, we both have a lot at stake here making this come out the right way." What a surprise.
