ICHEOKU says what a sea change that America has gone, from the axis of evil to now the troika of tyranny and you wonder what comes next. It was then President George W. Bush who coined the acronym Axis of Evil, naming Iraq, Iran and North Korea as its members; and ten years later, President Donald John Trump has named Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba as the troika of tyranny.
ICHEOKU says what made this three country specifically qualified or are their offenses bigger than whose? How about China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar and definitely some countries in Africa where human rights violations are frequent occurrence; and journalists freedom are heavily constrained, with many opponents locked up in prisons without trial.
But hey, it is international politics and those who pay to play usually have their offenses forgiven and the eyes of the watchman turned away from ever seeing their own infra-digs. But the little guys, especially those who do not bring anything of value to the dinner table, are often made examples out of, with their butts regularly kicked around. Like a piñata, they are frequently beaten purple blue, just for others to see what could become their fate if they fall out of line; and to some others, as an entertainment. What a joke.
