Uruguay's government asks Congress to approve US troops for G20
[PULSE.NG] Uruguay's government asked Congress on Friday to allow US troops to stay in country during the upcoming G20 meeting in neighboring Argentina...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita... , due to be attended by the US and Russian leaders. Washington wants to send 400 civilian and military personnel as well as eight aircraft for a week, from November 26 to December 3. US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... and Russia's Vladimir Putin  ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...are scheduled to attend the event. Uruguay's defense ministry submitted a two-part bill to Congress, the first of which sought permission for the US troops, official sources said. The bill's second article asks for authorization to allow troops from other countries whose leaders are attending the summit to be stationed in Uruguay, according to a document seen by AFP. Opposition senator Javier Garcia told AFP that such authorization can only be issued by the General Assembly through a constitutional mandate. But he stressed that any such authorization would be for a specific request rather than a "carte blanche" opening of doors to unspecified foreign troops. Posted by: Fred 2018-11-03 |
