Mario's got his vanity shined, destroyed the Fujimori Klan, destroyed the country he hated most, Peru, with a comunist government (serves them right for not electing him in 1990). The job he did for Spain is complete, no asian help for that spanish dependency. He will never bother looking at Peru again, it is just too low for him.Add your comment
