Maduro may fuck off. But if 15 years from now, big powers cause crisis after crisis in third countries (maybe yours!) just by powering powerless buffoons (de facto nobodies) through social media ruckus because they are the legitimate whatnot, remember people warned you. In international relations countries "recognise" states (structures having at least a partial control over a territory), not "governments". When it comes to "recognition", countries do not enter in the issue of the head of state deriving his/her power from the mandate of the masses, from a coup or from a strange woman lying in a pond distributing swords in a farcical aquatic ceremony. The "recognition" of a State (simply an application of a principle of reality) is also independent from wanting regime change, be it with the head of that State commiting seppuku, be it by frying that state with sanctions, or if you get along with hawkish plans be it by financing terrorist contras or just by bombing the shit out of 'em. All in all, the "recognition" is not a question of morality. Easening regime change through shortcuts based on post-truth may look cheap but it can only bring more destabilization to the world. This is not a good innovation. The order matters. It makes for a worse timeline. Bolton is a provocateur.

The 'Other alf' of 45 years together

I must admit I didn't realise it is this bad at Everton until a compilation is put together like this

It's nothing short of brilliant. Saw it last weekend. Killing him wasn't the answer. We could of learned so much from him.

Nah thanks... I'll pass.

Isco is the last thing from overrated

Didn't stop Silva, Mata, and Cazorla from performing well.

Nice one - and Kloppo was a good looking young guy then - not sure what happened after that! I suppose the ability to be able to answer the questions correctly but after the next one is asked is a good qualification for after-match interviews and the quiz was good practice!

Kloppo in an 80's(?) Quiz Show hosted by Mike Krüger. What a strange show.

@Kowabunga is absolutely spot on. What's happening in Syria is for everyone to see thanks to independent journos like Bartlett. At least in today's times, when there is clear access to fresh information online, such coups should not happen. Anyone who believes that the West is doing this to actually help the locals is daft. And it also goes without saying that Maduro is monster. And even Russians and Chinese who opposing this coup are looking after their interests, just like the West.

https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/24/starcraft-ii-playing-ai-alphastar-takes-out-pros-undefeated/ This little trend of AIs playing and beating pro players is all well and good but I think they should just open a tournament where AIs battle AIs and stop mixing them with humans. Its clear that they'll always have the upper hand after a few days anyways since they learn so quickly. Having said all that its still funny how the AI only picked one race and has mastered it quite thoroughly.

'Once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same'

Sorry, but many people are losing the principle of reality, taking lightly the recognition of the President of Venezuela. Countries do not recognise powerless actors for a reason. Countries recognise ''de facto'' somethings, not "de facto" nothings. You may deem a ruler the devil on Earth, you may ask for elections but regardless of how illegitimate he/she is, in the end you will adhere to acknowledging who is the "de facto" ruler. I am not able to ascertain what the outcome of this case will be in terms of regime change, but in the long run, I am pretty positive people will lament these diplomatic innovations in the age of post-truth.

46 years, well played. Can't figure out if you deserve a medal or she does, but as you support United, I'm going to go with your missus. Well done John's missus.
