I wonder if the Bus Driver took a roll of toilet paper with him.

The Chin could supply the technology to “work” it out for him: a set of bamboo chopsticks.

Okay, ChrisR. The problem is from Chevron. They should have brought the chopsticks before.

Interesting. Argieland has a “credit line” with China. Now Venezuela has a “credit line” as well. The usual reason for a “credit line” is that the “recipient” can't borrow what it wants and the “provider” is hoping to acquire assets. Argieland, of course, is months, if not weeks, from collapse. But I thought Venezuela was “oil-rich”. Not rich enough apparently. Not a lot of chance of Venezuela bailing argieland out again, is there? Perhaps Venezuela will sell the bonds it bought from argieland. Although it's doubtful if anyone would want them. Who's going down first? Who cares? But it's fun to watch.

Remember. Brazil is with them, if need, we buy their bonds with cheap dollars we have. Venezuela is more important than cheap money!

Don't be silly, Brazil is in no position to waste “cheap” dollars, if there is such a thing, on a bunch of retards like the Bus Driver, et al.

Brazil needs all the money it has if you are ever going to upgrade your infrastructure to something that works and is worth having.

Venezuela is sticking its finger up at one 'empire' to the north.....

...while bending over and taking it from a different 'empire' in the east.
