The major focus in recent days, with regard to civil unrest, has been Ukraine. And that is understandable enough. After all, it appears to represent an attempt by Vladimir Putin to impose his will upon a neighbor, and thereby begin to reconstitute the former Soviet Union. Still, it should not go unnoticed that what has been happening in Venezuela lately has also been shocking to the conscience. Venezuela's current president, Nicolás Maduro, is a thug--one almost wishes for the halcyon days of the late Hugo Chavez again (I never thought I would say that!)--who has no compunctions about quelling the protests by having their participants killed.

That's idiot left wingers for you. They destroy their country, blame capitalism and shoot people who speak out. Thank Allah, Thatcher kicked Scargill in the balls.
