@WilliamJHague Indeed. The venomous Venezuelan leadership Hydra has many heads, which still need cutting. The former VP and now newly installed President is already courting Russian and Chinese representatives. 
@cianbirder@Craigshaw333@BirdGuides Cheers Cian. In some ways it’s a shame as Caspians are so alluring. They have real character & it remains the only European species discovered in my lifetime! Still get a kick on finding them. Tried hard in IOM but failed. You’re doing a better job of finding them locally!
@front_ukrainian Cannot describe how sorry we are that Venezuelan oil is considered more important than your children’s futures. The world is lucky to have you and your nation.
@Craigshaw333@cianbirder@BirdGuides I’d call it ‘essentially Caspian’. But my view is also that the rules by which we originally and rigorously used to pigeonhole cachinnans have been blown away by the species’ range expansion and prolific assimilation of other taxa’s genes. The boundaries are diffuse and fluid!
@RBReich Letter to America:
1. What’s the name for that void twix laughing stock & pariah state?
2. Your theft of Venezuelan oil will precipitate a global loot.
3. Will someone plse put the loonies back in the asylum.
4. RIP the moral hi-ground.
5. Alistair Cooke just turned in his grave.
@mohimg@JohnCleese I understand that. As moderator she should remain impartial. But she has a habit of cutting off those who are trying to explain the facts. Facts deserve more space for explanation than the deliberate falsehoods she often allows to go on ad nauseum.
