In case you guys were wondering about the effectiveness of Venezuela's Russian air defense system in protecting Maduro, this article posits that the proficiency of the U.S. assault rendered the system useless...
Your saying you would rather be pounded for an hour by a 6'7" 280 pound gorilla than cuddle and talk to him? Indies might have special rates for this but agency girls in most cases don't. The OP didn't specify that he was looking for an indie.....
What will offend the SP is if you tell her you don't want to pay her full rate because it's cuddling and talking. You have to pay the full rate. I am not sure I understand why you would think an SP would be offended by having to work less rather than more, unless your plan is to offer her a $150...
Maduro is in luck. There is a really good Venezuelan restaurant in Brooklyn called Casa Ora. If he keeps kissing ass on the DEA and FBI agents assigned to escort him, i am sure they will do something to arrange a little takeout action from Casa Ora for him...
Maduro and his wife are being perp-walked into Court! I wonder if he is thinking about the villa on the beaches of Turkey he could have been sleeping in, or the retainer fee he will have to pay for defense attorneys who will soon suck up all the bribe money he got from drug traffickers? His bank...
Meanwhile, Maduro is due in Court today and will probably be given time to retain defense attorneys (who will cost $1000 an hour or more in NYC), so that they can try and map out a strategy to avoid the fate of Manuel Noriega:

They have missed him, and they need him!
It should be noted that Trump has said he expects Chevron and other oil companies to spend lots of money for needed upgrades in the oil infrastructure, in exchange for getting their assets back. As I said earlier, Venezuela's oil production is meager. What nobody seems to get is that while...
Not true. Read the NY Times article I posted above. Trump offered Maduro a "gilded exile" in Turkey. He refused and mocked Trump- trying to call his bluff. He learned the hard way that he should be kicking it on a beach in Turkey, spending all the bribe money he earned from drug traffickers so...
This is absurd. There was no war. There was an arrest and a bloodless removal. Of someone whose misbehavior warranted it. I think you are confused about foreign policy.
If it's so terrible to live in the USA how come we literally cannot keep illegal immigrants out? They are coming here to...
Really good win for Montreal today at Dallas. Montembault was back in goal after his "conditioning assignment", was mediocre but got the win thanks to OT goal by Hutson and first Star won by Slafkovsky.
Doesn't any country's leadership have a duty to act in the best interests of its citizens? How is this "selfish", if it's a mandate that is perceived by a democratically elected leader and his staff?
I expect the leadership of my country to act in the best interests of its citizens. However...

"Mr. Maduro in late December rejected an ultimatum from President Trump to leave office and go into a gilded exile in Turkey, according to several Americans and Venezuelans involved in transition...
They haven't misbehaved. They may not agree with US Policy, but they haven't misbehaved. The Iranian leadership, on the other hand, has misbehaved both domestically and in their foreign policy and nuclear program. Which is why the U.S. had to go in and disarm them, and may need to do so again...
