I'll now hand you over to my best man, Eddie.

Wow, wow, wow, second time's a charm, eh, Billy Boy.

Oh God.

Substitution, courtesy of Paddy Power, embarrassing Eddie, makes way for sensible Samuel.

Cool, that was close.

wars of choice at this point is it's not left wing or right wing. It's just reckless. We're talking about regime change in Venezuela. The regime is still in place. What we did was depose the leader.

So if the Don Roe doctrine, if people are calling it, means doing anything that's in the

U.S. national interest, the question is whether big interventions in Nigeria, Syria, Venezuela,

Greenland, Mexico and Iran are, in fact,

in the US national interest. What happened to just worrying about the price of eggs? And where does

it leave the many people who thought that the peace part of peace through strength really was
