it's almost the same script of Syria too lol

btw, in case people insist the US is not involved at all. This is US Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent, bragging about the success of the deliberate economic pressure put on by the US on Iran. Play from minute 29:17.

No, no, no you dont understand. This time the humanitarian concerns of neocons is real and definitely not a pretext for regime change.

I was speaking to a Nicaraguan co-worker a few days ago about the current situation in Nicaragua and the general geopolitical situation in Latin America as whole. She seems to be in her 50s so I ask about her memories regarding the Contras and Sandinistas. I shit you not, she actually spoke positively about the Contras; she said if the Contras were around today, Nicaragua wouldn't be in the situation that it is today. She goes on to say that her dad was falsely accused of being a member of the Contras.

While I understand that the situation with her dad may have traumatized her, it is mind-boggling that she praised the U.S.-funded death squads.
