This is a disgusting piece of propaganda, a rant full of name-throwing, misconstructed straw men arguments and easily spotted lies. I can see no reason to have this low level pseudo journalism in HN other than talking about how low are they

Great reading. Have you any idea how things evolved after that with those 4 proposed methods?

Well, if that is your point, it is indeed a valid one. I would say that there are not disagreements but a growing mismatch in the strategic goals of both countries. The more Venezuela looks for building a diversified economy (thus leaving t

No matter how many times you repeat a lie, it is still a lie.

Please correct yourself. There was a recount, and it ended up showing there was no irregularities. And No, it is not a partisan opinion. Unless you think Jimmy Carter and hundreds of other organizations controlling the vote AND the recount

That wouldn't be a problem, it is reported that "Nobody will detain Snowden at Sheremetyevo, if his visa is alright - police", so he is not in danger while waiting.

In fact the source reported that “He chose such a complicated route in the hope that he would not be arrested on the way to his final destination of Venezuela,”

Err... when discussing about an individual and if he is a good source or not, any valid position HAS to be ad hominem. Am I wrong?

I really, strongly recommend you to read "The Prize", by Daniel Yergin. Won the Pulitzer. If you want to understand the world and how it works, and the REAL reasons for the History to be what it is, this is it. Best book in existence for Di

Wow I am being downvoted all over the place, even in old posts... Btw, my point was that someone that achieved horrible things through (among other things) lying, should never be a source. Is not only about him: Lying was and is a fundamen
