Zimbabwe’s long-serving president on Sunday threatened to expel foreign-owned companies over what he said was the West’s interference in the politics of the country he has led since 1980.
President Robert Mugabe said he wanted no “ideas from London or Washington,” speaking before supporters at the funeral of a top military chief in Harare. He warned the Western powers that although his government hasn’t “done anything to your companies, time will come when we will say tit for tat.”
He said: “You hit me, I hit you. We have a country to run and we must be left free to run it.” …

This guy is just asking to be “droned.”
zimbabwe’s mugabe
Try saying that three times real fast.
Mugsy took away the white settlers’ farms, and sometimes handed them to Zimbabeans who knew nothing about farming, so now he wants to eliminate British and American companies from his country. Sound like a plan. For failure.
I wonder if there are any non-Chinese “foreign owned firms” even operating in Zimbabwe?
dint know there were any left
I don’t know if he has the guts to threaten the Chinese ones.
He said: “You hit me, I hit you. We have a country I HAVE RUINED and we must be left free for ME TO CONTINUE TO RUIN it.”
Fixed it.
“Mugsy took away the white settlers’ farms, and sometimes handed them to Zimbabeans who knew nothing about farming, so now he wants to eliminate British and American companies from his country. Sound like a plan. For failure.”
Actually their economy is recovering and Mugabe can afford to tell the Americans and British to go pound sand. The dirty little secret is that he has a willing and able partner in the Chinese. They’re more than willing to cut deals with the devil. He’s got what they want (i.e. diamonds, minerals etc..) and they are willingly paying for it; no questions asked.
Ah ha! That’s information I haven’t seen anyplace before. Thanks.
Brilliant. Do a detroit and go right back into the jungle.
Commies look out for each other. Only the dictators, though; the proles will continue to suffer.
“Commies look out for each other. Only the dictators, though; the proles will continue to suffer.”
Of course they’ll suffer only they’re not allowed to actually realize that they are, in fact, suffering. It’s part of any totalitarian playbook.
That said, the economic numbers are way up. Where the money goes, well, that’s another question. But the people are buying beer again in Harare.
Mugsy took away the white settlers’ farms, and sometimes handed them to Zimbabeans who knew nothing about farming...
After which he went after the black Zimbabwean farmers that did know how to farm and did produce, all out of “fainess”.
Mugabe just frauded his way back into power; the previous election saw him cashiered out, then he frauded his way back into a tenuous grasp on power. This time he didn’t mess around, and just stole the whole thing outright.

Mugabe’s security detail is probably North Korean or Chinese like most Africans. Obama is moving to that with satanist secret service having no care for constitution but a quick high fix with whores in Columbia.
Or.....leave the country after burning whatever you created to the ground. Let them prove what they can do, but do so without a head-start stolen from those they insult and malign. If they're that good on their own, they'll prosper. If not, they should have been careful what they asked for (demanded at gunpoint).
I like "BobbyMugabe". If you can say that real fast you have a future in auctioneering.
