Nepochopim, nepochopim a ještě jednou nepochopim, jak může jakýkoli médium informovat o tom, že bude Maduro souzen v New Yorku, bez odstavce vysvětlujícího, že USA nad Madurem nemají žádnou pravomoc a soud je tím pádem právní svévole a především mocenská inscenace.

The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere.
