    OK, well this is even more than expected !
    So ... what EXACTLY is the logic behind this? What the hell does a military base among non enemy countries who are all friendly have to do with Brexit? To become a better Global “PLAYER”? Not a better Global Aggressor? but a better Global “Player” ?
    LOL: Oh! We're NOT being Invasive and Paranoid, We're just being a Better Player! lol ... There's a word for that kind of sentence in English. But let's get to the point shall we?
    Brexit is NATO's excuse to position itself against Venezuela's new found friendship with Russia? Why not just say it? Is it because America has already suggested Venezuela needs a “military intervention” and so it can solidly say it is defending itself? Is it because warring people like the British and their governments love using political volatility and instability in other countries to excuse militarily supporting sides of their civil wars to later gain a foothold itself in them? Is it because the UK and the US always prejudistically never gave a rats ass about our countries in South America, and consistently disrespected all of Latin America to where it has always treated it as its political militant target practice back yard? ... So now it uses “Brexit” to not make any of that, any more obvious ???
    ... Right about now, there is an elder man on the Falkland Islands crying as he is finally understanding what and why London wanted a war on the Islands, and changed the peaceful nature of his home for ever. The Argentine military would have just left eventually the islands in a year or two after the UN and Argentina whatever whatever. But the British military had no intention of ever leaving, weeks before the Argentine landing.
    It's always befuddling to me when I see how British act so shocked and surprised when they hear things like they are the cheating political thieving rapist of the planet and are hated by so many countries in the world. Though they ARE one of the world's most indoctrinated.

    Happy New Year Patrick! You sound in great form. With your support for evil dictators and murderous assassins fully intact. Perhaps we British can help the millions of impoverished Venezualans fleeing Maduros impoVerished murderous basket case regime? Safe in the USA you must feel safe from Putins needles and nerve gas attacks.
    Dont worry our Sepoys are keeping a close eye on things in RGland.

    Keep up the routine you are without doubt the best SA comedian on Mercopress!
