    why does this graph have a 2:1 ratio of content to border? did you open it full screen on an ultrawide monitor to screenshot it then not crop or?

    I’m used to seeing lots of vertical borders because of phones, but this almost seems like it took more effort to make this way.

      OP really wanted that red rectangle with a red arrow, I guess. Here’s the original from this Al Jazeera story:

      I took a screenshot from my phone of Sean Foo’s YouTube video. I appreciate it looks bad but didn’t know how to fix it. I redid it by from YouTube on my desktop so hopefully it looks better now.

    It’s always been about the oil with Venezuela. The US does not care about the legitimacy of foreign elections and never has, anyone who believes that is an idiot,

    “No MoRe WaRs” and Trump the Peacemaker was a big part of their campaign. Hopefully invading Venezuela would hurt him more politically than any oil but who am I kidding? They’ll all just lie like they always do.

      Not allowed only the countries who had nukes firsts are allowed to have them ever its nuclear non proliferation on top of that the ones that have them pinkie promise to phase them out any day now. This is totally fair and balanced and we will bomb you if you disagree.
