    Now Briton, you seem to forget that their perception of the world starts north around Rio and ends somewhere south around Terra del Fuego. Somewhat of ....the world is flat view.
    One would think reading south American papers that Obama did so much bowing that he is now at the presidential chiropractor.

    The 'Saviour of the World' was the accolade given to The Cunt Brown © Jeremy Clarkson 2010 by the smelly socks Labour idiots: it was an utter load of bollocks. It is equally applicable to the murdering commie bastard who used to rob bank and is now our president.

    I just love “The role played by Uruguay's President in the process which led to Wednesday's announcements that the United States and Cuba are to restore full diplomatic ties, was praised by Presidents Barack Obama, Raul Castro and international analysts.”

    So NO worldwide accolades! MP are getting like the argies with their miss-interpretations of what really went on. They should READ the stories they lift off other sources before posting them here.

    Good news all around, as this is at least the start of a surrender from the Castros (if Obama can get it through Congress, which is questionable). The embargo is the ONLY thing that has kept them in power since '89.

    Mujica was nothing more than a postal worker in the scheme, delivering a letter from Obama. All the negotiations (prior to the Vatican) took place in Canada because the US realized that there was no chance of secrecy being maintained if the meetings were held anywhere in Latam or the Caribbean.

    The Castro regime will be out of power within 5 years, as the US will be sending in the navy and air force (via Princess Cruise Lines & Delta Airlines respectfully).

    My favourite (granted exaggerated) quote thus far from Maria Corina Machado:

    “Two days ago, Maduro told Venezuelans to burn their U.S. visas. Meantime, Raul Castro was applying for his own.”

    Time to freshen up a few thousand lawsuits against the Casto regime for confiscation of U.S. assets. If relations are normalized with America - it will only be after the restoration of American assets. Hell - there are as many Dems in Congress that are mad at Obamie over this as there are republicans. Walk the streets of Miami and you'll find out just exactly how popular an idea this is. The Cubanos want the Castros heads.

    Oh do stop it. Mujica is a meaningless tosspot. Who would notice if he was executed? Let's test it. Execute him. See what happens!

    @ 13 Stevie

    Was THAT why it didn't work: they kicked him in the “testes”.

    As for being 'shot' six times in a bar does ANYBODY believe the cartridges used were fullpower and aimed at vital organs? No, I didn't think so.

    If I had shot him I would only have needed ONE shot, straight in the nasal cavity and we wouldn't have had the mismanagement of 'No Money Pepe'.

    @ 15 Stevie

    Oh, Stevie, you are SO knowledgeable, it amazes me you didn’t know the first thing about heat balance in a conceptual situation.

    Any second year physics student would know the answer right away, if he were any good.

    No, I have never done a thing for anyone else, except 15 service years as a Trustee of a charity aimed at providing new knowledge and experiences to youngsters who would never otherwise have the chance.

    Just because you shit yourself when someone says BOO to you, doesn’t put anybody else in the same boat, certainly not me.
