"The incident is almost sure to have diplomatic repercussions."

Yup. A minor irritation is about to turn into a major one.
As I said on another thread, that action would normally be considered an act of war. Maybe Putin should fly with a rumor that Snowden is on his plane.
...Why the next thing you know will be a copy of the big Zero’s birth certificate will be posted on the Bolivian national website...

Don’t worry....A little money will take the edge off the irritation.
Nice to know that France, Portugal, Italy and Spain are willing to help us.
Not so nice that France, Portugal, Italy and Spain look like fools for helping us.
Well, the USofA has set the legal precedent allowing that to happen, haven’t we?
Bolivia’s irate? Oh my God...what will they do,withhold their famous “marching powder” from American consumers?
I was wondering, I live in rural Texas. Do you think it would be racist if I had a Texas flag covering the back window of my 79 Chevy pick-up with the star to the left and on the top half of the other saying “The Bro” and the bottom half saying “Gotta Go”
The Bro
Gotta Go
Is that racist?
I believe they’re a fairly big exporter of various metals.
Yeah, that’s the first thing I thought.
Yup! He sure has done a lot for our standing around the world, eh? And some thought it was bad when W was Prez.....
