This guy is begging for death

Robert Mugabe continues his efforts to render Zimbabwe destitute rather than leave office willingly after losing an election in March. In response to sanctions from Western nations — unfortunately not joined by the UN — Mugabe today threatened to seize firms with significant Western investments and redistribute them to his cronies:

Zimbabwe will transfer ownership of all foreign-owned firms that support Western sanctions against President Robert Mugabe’s government to locals and investors from “friendly” countries, a state newspaper reported on Sunday.

The southern African state is struggling with an economic crisis many blame on Mugabe’s policies, which has left it with an inflation rate of over 2.2 million percent and chronic shortages of food and other basic needs.

Mugabe’s government blames the crisis on sabotage by enemies angry over his seizures of white-owned farms for blacks, and has followed up that policy with another controversial law seeking to transfer majority ownership of foreign-owned firms to locals.

The Sunday Mail said Zimbabwe had begun auditing the ownership of Western firms in the country as part of a black empowerment drive “and to counter the possible withdrawal of investment under sanctions imposed and proposed by Britain and the U.S.”

Don't worry - the United Nations is on the case - oh, wait - NO IT ISN'T! What a great organization. He loses the election but refuses to step down and the UN does nothing. Is this a surprise? They're probably too busy chastising the United States.

Now he's going to "nationalize (steal) American/western businesses in Zimbabwe. Hmmmm. Next foreign investors to Zimbabwe, step right up -- LMAO. This guy has pushed those people into the toilet and he couldn't care less.

The best thing about tyrants like this is they never get the message. But what if the citizens decide to overthrow him? Oops -- never mind -- the following is from this article in National Review:

The lessons of Zimbabwe should serve as a graphic warning about the dangers of excessive restrictions on civilian firearm ownership. With few exceptions, guns now remain only in the hands of government agents and common street criminals who seek to terrorize Zimbabwe's disarmed citizenry.

Never mind history and/or real-life examples, National Review - the libs only heed "graphic warnings" from Al Gore and other looney-ass lefties. Hell -- the libs are probably on Mugabe's side.
