A ‘President’ is killed in Chechnya, Communists win elections in Moldova, anti-government protests are held in both Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan, and two Baltic Presidents thumb their noses at Russia.

Here is the serious problem. Both Bombadier and its Brazilian rival have received BILLIONS in subsidies from their respective family-connected government. And, both countries have hauled the other before the GAAT courts to protect their family interests, and done so successfully… creating large penalties on the businesses and consumers of the countries, while gaining additional money for the blood-sucking companies. This has been going on for a decade or two.

That is why Jean Chretien stinks as a representative of Canada, when he puts on his GO-CANADA hat. He has zero credibility as a representative of CANADA. I would hire him though…he knows how to suck out money for his friends and family.

It seemed like all the new, high-end consumer goods in Uzbekistan were made by South Korean companies. The cars and a lot of the electronics were Daewoo. We bought a Daewoo or LG tv for our English center. (Hell, my cell phone that I have now is LG.) And if I recall, there’s a high-ranking government official in Uzbekistan who is a South Korean.

It’s probably all for the best though.

Hrumph!!!
