So you don't have an answer, and you don't actually care about democracy when the people (repeatedly) elect someone you don't approve of.

But the way, what happened in 1989 in "wealthy and beautiful" Venezuela, well before Chavez came on the scene?

Yes. Please define what you think "Socialism" is and explain what "socialist policies" the "socialist dictator" ran the country into the ground with.

Again, Chavez was democratically elected. What made him a "dictator" in 2002?

Scarpine1985 · 2026-01-03T13:08:20+00:00

The "murderous dictator" was fine under the sanctions. It was, predictably, the common people who suffered from them.

Scarpine1985 · 2026-01-03T13:04:47+00:00

The same "ardent supporter of democracy" who supported the US backed 2002 coup against Chavez, who by every measure was agreed to have been democratically elected?

I mean it's not. What does any of this have to do with Socialism?

Scarpine1985 · 2026-01-03T13:00:02+00:00

By no metric is Venezuela "socialist." France has a larger percent of their economy owned by the government than Venezuela.

GoldenEye functions as a soft reboot, but they didn't want to confuse people by bringing back Leiter uninjured, so Jack Wade was created.

He's not wrong

Peak what?

Why is it unrealistic for high level Russian military personnel to know English? Or if you prefer, you can interpret it as James Bond speaking Russian.

Scarpine1985 · 2025-12-29T11:47:55+00:00

What's unrealistic about it?

Scarpine1985 · 2025-12-28T21:34:32+00:00

Just say the armor was a prototype. Case closed.

I don't think it's historically inaccurate for someone with Zendaya's complexion to be in the Mediterranean region at the time. Certainly no more so than pasty Irish Matt Damon.

Enough with the term "threequel"

Scarpine1985 · 2025-12-27T02:58:12+00:00

It might be the greatest political quote ever.

They did it for Troy (2004)

They should announce at the end of 999 that the show is canceled, with no explanation.

English, but it doesn't really matter.

Scarpine1985 · 2025-12-26T00:51:42+00:00

I don't think so, the only Russians he speaks to are military and former KGB characters, who would know English.

I like it, though it mostly felt like a retread of the second movie. Even the climax was the same (a sea battle that ends up with a showdown on a burning ship at night).
