As a famous American TV interviewer used to end his shows: “good night and good luck”.

What a shame for Paraguay. It had an opportunity to become a proper nation. A “nation” that wouldn't be “forced” by money and/or foreigners. It blew it. It forgot about “law”, truth and honesty and went for arse-licking instead. So difficult to persuade South American gender-bending, genocidal, murderous, larcenous, mendacious latinos to respect other people. No-one will forget the chance Paraguay has thrown away.
