Even he doesn't think he is a hero, I don't know why his enemies keep pushing that. I think it's funny. Look at him, he's a nerd, like me. He's an introvert. Rambo would not even notice him.

What he has shown however, is that nobody really cares about all that crap they are collecting, but they are greatly offended by having these silly creeps collecting all their data all the time, and using it for their own purposes, like they had some sort of right to it.

They ought not be collecting it, they ought not be saving it, it is none of their business unless a judge agrees in public view they have a legitimate interest under the law in your affairs, and even then you better have your right to respond and or sue their asses if they transgress. They have no right to meddle in your business at all without probably cause. That is what a "right to privacy" mean, a right to be left alone, to be unwatched, unsupervised, and unevaluated, unmeasured, and so on, unless you first consent, or they first supply a good reason. The burden is on the government to prove its need to know, not on you to prove your right to be left alone.

and they can make their own decisions.

another screw up for which they will pay as they underestimated the power the Latin American nations have accumulated over the past decade while they and the US, their actual boss, were raiding the resources of ME countries.

Same as the other screw up in Britain, when another puppet 'leader' made the incredible suggestion that they should raid the sovereign territory of the Ecuadoran Embassy to 'get' Julian Assange. Fortunately wiser heads prevailed, but not before they had made idiots of themselves before the entire world.

Someone needs to give some lessons on International Law and Treaties and Agreements on the Immunity of heads of state, and some separate deprogramming sessions to try to remove the notion from their collective minds, that every country in the world that is not run by white people, isn't a colony of their former Empires. Their Empires no longer exist, thankfully.

not surprising that it bleeds over into this....they are probably trying to hedge bets that Uncle Stupid will provide a backstop/bailout/miracle/defensive troops....

The apology is perhaps mending fences in case BOLIVIA can bail out the "mother country".

It's a bad time to be a leader (when you really DON'T want to lead or take responsibility).

Who is doing what to whom in your view? Tell me about it, if you are civil, I will be too.

So it's a race between catastrophe, the (in)ability to cope and/or admit one's mistakes.


There's another comment to my reply from someone I have on Ignore. If it's worth un-Ignoring, please let me know!

I could not make sense of what the other guy was going on about.
Or he could not make sense of what I was going on about.
Either way he seemed disgruntled.
So no nothing you need to see.
It did not go on long and nothing meaningful was said.
