US uses it as an excuse to declare war on and occupy Venezuela.
Whatever happened to the Monroe Doctrine?
Monrow Doctrine says Europe can't invade Venezuela, or any other part of Latin America. It doesn't say the U.S. can't, and a good thing it doesn't because we've done it plenty of times. I think we also looked the other way during that Faulklands thing.
When did you sneak in the Katy avatar? I did not realize it was a Waldco acquisition; I thought the MoPac bought it.

Dubh, there's a body of opinion that the Yurpeen plague of 1347 was Ebola, not Bubonic. It accounts for Yurpeens being resistant to Ebola, whereas Africans are not.

I don't know if I buy that one. In most accounts the swollen lymph nodes are described in detail which would make it pestis bubonica.
However I wouldn't rule out a variety of possible organisms lumped together under the term "plague" due to the lack of medical knowledge of those days.

That would be "looked the other way" as in "provided intelligence and logistical support which Mrs Thatcher rated as precious as the support she got from her other great friend and ally, Augusto Pinochet" .

The Yanks were after some pointers on how to capture small Islands - helped when they had to overcome the terrible threat caused by Grenada. It was touch and go for the security of America for a while, but they overcame in the end. Still they didn't have the French selling Exocet missiles to the enemy during their conflict.

And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

One group of researchers exhumed plague pits from two different episodes of the Black Death, one being the 1347 one, and found Yersinia pestis DNA in the remains contained in both of them.
