Talking about Venezuela and illegal interference and you come out with this.

To be fair Barry you do slag off RT so it’s interesting to see you relying on the said organ of mistruth to back up your argument

US backed? Is that similar to Russian backed invasion? The US has a history of giving back lands overseas concerning empire, Russia? Never got over the bumming it got by the States concerning the cold war, its puppet satellites all wanting to join the modern World and it can’t accept it.

Yeah that’s not great is it? I’ve tried to find more detail on this incident. There doesn’t appear to be any deaths that I can find on line. One person did die from other injuries elsewhere (not even in Caracas) and witnesses say it was paramilitaries.

You can believe that everything the Government does is great as it fits in with your agenda and you’re lying to yourself or you can say the state murders everywhere, I prefer to think of the latter and acknowledge it whether it fits my narrative or not.

Even with things like this there are truths and untruths to unpick, say you think the US is telling lies about a plane waiting to get them out to Cuba, sounds a valid thing to say as there are smoke and mirrors everywhere but what about this?

There is an internal conflict in your own nation and you haven’t prepared to evacuate? Your own secret services haven’t planned for such an event?

Now that is bullshit.

I go with the %'s.

Not being funny, Baz, but you spent ages pumping up the notion of a Russian invasion of Crimea and repeatedly refused to answer how many people died during the Crimean invasion.

The answer that you avoided, me old chap, is here.

You can’t take Wikipedia as gospel, obviously, especially when it declares that better sources are needed, but the answer to that burning question appears to be six.

Is that really an invasion, skip? Is your blanket assessment of stuff that really ought to be assessed on a case by case basis justified?

So an invasion is only an invasion if people die? Am I actually reading that correctly?
