His bright yellow track suit makes for piss poor camouflage.

Brazil has been relatively okay for the last decade. If that continues, then maybe it's influence help stabilize the rest of the continent.
The US has been pretty stable for the last century and a half, hasn't helped Mexico much.
But the US has been actively destabilizing Mexico for some years now.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Finally, footage on CNN!  :w00t:

No violent stuff.  People sitting in the street, lined up behind barricades, banging pots.  No bad guys in sight.  The reporter (a Brit) said he also visited "a working class neighborhood" where people were opposed to Maduro.

Not all opponents are rich guys, Yi. Some lower class folks are also fed up with the situation.

I've often thought Yi tends to very materialist analysis for someone who's anti-Marxist :lol:
Let's bomb Russia!

Admiral Yi

I never thought Maduro was particularly intelligent, but I didn't know he was stupid enough to know what "S.O.S." meant:

Death toll is apparently "more than 50", instead of the 13 that had been reported.
