No, before you get excited, its not a country full of supermodels!

It looks like the USA has had enough and is calling out the president to hold elections and allow a democratic election. (In theory they had one recently, but in reality, everyone knows it wasn't.)

I wonder about the outcome.

A smart decision might be for the current president to hide his cash, go to an election, concede defeat, and then retire in luxury.

Unfortunately there will be hundreds of other people with their snouts in the trough, and human nature tells me that they will want to hang onto the money it brings. There are also rumours that its now a narco state with the government involved with drug dealers as a soft way to get drugs heading towards the US.

Anyone want to have some decent guesses as to how this pans out? I don't think there will be military action as the US really has nothing to gain from this and the presence of troops would just get the POTS kicked out next time.
