I've got to admit,... that is a pretty witty slight, I am almost tempted to say that they're manufactured in Alaska. :)

Actually it sounds pretty serious, and their current leader sounds like a bit of a despot; another country going down to the whims of populism?

The coup should allow him to solidify his power.
