And the US admin is telling Canada not to 'interfere in their elections' by... responding to unfair (and illegal, due to unilaterally tearing up our signed free-trade treaties) tariffs... fucking hypocrites.

The American Empire. You guys really think Republicans are just going to politely sit down?

what could go wrong, the last few times they were in S.america.

It's my personal theory that the US is going to back a bunch of cartel operations to take over the governments of countries in Latam that don't support them. But first they'll go in and kill the cartels leaders and get puppets in charge of them. Then they do some coups and put those people in as viceroys over the entire country with the cartel as their power base.

Even the former peaceful Costa Rica is now building a mega prison, and inviting US meddling in the affairs of public security.

The US getting involved I don't think has ever brought more peace to a latin american country.

Gotta secure the region now that staying the global hegemon seems more and more like an impossibility. One day, insha'Allah, Western imperialism will be nothing but a really bad collective memory.

Trump knows those cartels have zillion$, and he wants to get his beak wet. He will trade pardons for payments.

So it begins.

Same as it ever was.

Good article

That's not exactly breakthrough news the US has been running fairly large scale counter narcotics missions down there since Trump.
