Disclaimer & comment rulesWelcome to heroic Captain Pompeo the Great Democrat who cut the Guyana Knot and delivered democracy after a 5-month farrago by a racist regime. Delay squandered precious resources and losses ran into millions of dollars as a de facto regime denied victory to lawful winners of the election. Captain Pompeo announced visa sanctions against the usurpers but they remain in the opposition and stoke internecine strife. Development is stymied but energy and financial security is improving and international aid will boost personal security. Best wishes to the renowned Exxonmobil consortium which discovered 18 major oilfields in deepwater offshore Guyana,promising transformation of the impoversihed country to a prosperous modern nation. We wish the US delegation a safe journey to Brazil and Colombia and appreciate the goodwill and gifts which will inspire and comfort the populace during the pandemic and the ongoing refugee crisis on the border.

Venezuela is currently stalemated in halting the production.

Yanks would just love an excuse to pitch in there no doubt, except I suspect the Venezuelans would surrender in droves to the Americans and demand to be sent to the US as POWs.
I was just playing some games with the sentence, it just struck me there were a few way to go with it. In an article that was otherwise quite concise in its use of English.
We just love word games, much of our humour is based on playing with words.

American employment of propaganda, psychological warfare (PsyWar), psychological operations (PSYOP) has a enormous word phrase vocabulary that are ominous and yet sometimes hilarious.
For example: “terminate with extreme prejudice” in today's equivalent jargon and has several covert alternatives that can severely cause international confusion.
Cheers!
¡Saludos!
