First they jailed a political rival - as in cowardice - because the little dictator was losing in the polls; then the spineless bastard had their politcal rival executed.

It is the way of 3rd world "leadership".

This is the second Latin American related frog death I recall hearing about in Russia too. There was one about some guy that went to some like drug frog thing at a sweat lodge they mirrored on like some traditional thing in central or south america that led to an oligarch dying. I'm trying to remember who it was and why, a few years back.
