“I Would Like a Country…”

The author, returning from Cyprus, discusses the scandal in the Cypriot Presidential Palace with a stranger on the plane. The conversation quickly turns to the US intervention in Venezuela, sparked by a Facebook post by economist Miranda Xafa. Xafa argues that the US intervention is justified, as Maduro is not a legitimate leader, unlike the aggressive actions of Russia and China. The author, however, mentions that his preoccupation with the issue distracts him from his mobile game, Vita Mahjong, and receives advice from his spiritual advisor to practice self-restraint. The article concludes with a post by Stratos Fanaras, who expresses his wishes for 2026.
