    Note she is legally bound to announce an election by the third of februrary.

    Not that theres such thing as laws in kleptocracies.

    They don’t like being a vassal state, and having their natural resources stolen by the US? Big surprise.

  3. This is all a show. She will do what she is told and willingly. Just faking it for domestic consumption.

  4. Problem is Trump and his cronies have never been smart enough to wield soft power effectively. They’ve given up so much of their soft power elsewhere cos they didn’t know how to use it, no surprise that they’ll screw up this big open goal sooner or later.

  5. Would make sense for them to partner with an European company instead.
    USA has proven themselves to unrealiable and they should diversify to not be dependant on another facist regime.

  6. Aww, it turns out selling out the dictator in the room down the hall to the dictator across the ocean has Consequences, huh?
