And the U.S. government gets on the wrong side, once again, in Latin America. These "oppo" assholes are getting your tax dollars and mine, and "training" and immoral support, from our corporate/war profiteer-run government. It's a pity. I had so hoped that this miserable, hypocritical, corrupt, anti-democratic and, in some cases, murderous U.S. policy in Latin America wouldn't continue. It has continued. But Latin Americans have a new sense of unity in fighting back against U.S. lies and domination. It's great to see this new unity at work--for instance, in the unanimous recognition of Maduro's election by all LatAm countries. They all know what's going down with this, and even the rightwing leaders--the leaders of U.S.client states--don't like it and resent it.
I can't believe how STUPID U.S. policy in LatAm is, let alone how wrong it is. The CIA thinks that it is so very, very clever, now that it's free of Cheney/Rumsfeld and their big boots. They think their "color revolution" crapola is how to regain control of all that LatAm oil. So full of themselves. So wrong. So stupid, really--as if Latin Americans can't see their "colors" coming from miles away.
