IAEA nuclear inspector Tero Varjoranta steps down after US quits Iran deal
It's normal news. Somebody resigns his job! But it draws a lot of attention. You may ask why. So watch this video:
Former Brazilian director-general of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Jose Bustani, talks about his meeting with John Bolton
In this video Mr.Bustani tells although it was obvious (according to him) that during first Iraq war (in 1990-1991) all Iraqi chemical weapon facilities had been destroyed, and it was nothing left to accuse Iraq still possessing chemical weapons, American government wanted to take military action against Iraq in 2002 anyway . So John Bolton asked him to resign because his management style was not agreeable to Washington and Dick Chaney, and after he refused resignation John Bolton told him "You must accept the consequences, we know where your kids live."
Until now I thought Dick Chaney's favorite TV show must have been "24"! and what I thought about a diplomatic approach was something like this:

But now I know their favorite show is The Sopranos and a good diplomatic approach for them is something like this:

John: Do you know how my VP looks like?
Jose: H-H-He wears glasses...
John: Go on!
Jose: He's bald...!
John: Does he look like a bitch?
JOSE: What?
John: [shoots Jose in the shoulder] DOES HE... LOOK... LIKE A BITCH?
Jose: No!
John: Then why you tryin' to fuck him like a bitch, Jose?
Jose: I didn't...!
John: Yes, you did. Yes, you did, Jose! You tried to fuck him.
Jose: [gasping] No, no...
John: But Mr. Vice President don't like to be fucked by anybody.
Jose: OK, let's invade Iraq and fuck them instead!

I know it's not funny but sometimes when you know someone who believes he must prepare the world for Christ to come back sooner for Armageddon, you can either believe in God or laugh to forget how f*ed up this world became with neoliberals ruling without any competitor.
