Twitter War between Head of OAS and President of Venezuela

This is amazing, amusing, and very Twenty-First Century, via the BBC:  Venezuela Maduro OAS: Latin American ‘traitor’ row escalates

The head of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, has accused the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro of being “a traitor”.

In a series of Twitter posts addressed directly to Mr Maduro, Mr Almagro also called him a “petty dictator”.

Mr Maduro accused the OAS chief earlier this week of being a CIA agent and a traitor himself.
