I wonder how long it is before American media begin blaming Russia for all of the “new” immigration woes.

If Trump couldn’t build the wall as promised, and the materials are being sold for scrap and/or given away to save on “storage costs” under this moron, a scapegoat is going to be needed.

Between this news and Venezuela and Iran signing long term cooperation deals, the US is going to have to up its military spending in the Western Hemisphere in the future. I bet 15 military advisors can trigger AT LEAST a few billion additional military waste/spending.

Now, mind you, we have already wasted billions in the 80’s to get rid of Daniel Ortega. And failed. And aided our enemy Iran in the process (another foreign policy flop of the crooked military industrial scamplex) Iran/Contra anyone? Ollie? Ring a bell?

No problem. Just charge it! No wonder we’re broke. And to top it all off, to stick it to Russia we’re buying inflation priced Venezuelan oil and relaxing the ban on Iran lol. What a foreign policy failure the Ukraine coup has been. Who could have predicted???

Sounds like Ortega is trying to overthrow the Constitution. Having Russia soldiers kill civilians like in Kazakhstan, Belorus and Ukraine.

I guess Nicaragua is looking for a change from 4 decades of US occupation, the US seizing their gold reserves and funding a decades long civil war that killed tens of thousands and left the country so heavily mined that people are still finding them when they blow up. The fruit industry determined the governments in Nicaragua were radically socialist for demanding over 1/2 cent per hour for workers, and that the American fruit industry funded militias stop killing so many workers. Radicals! First they get a whole penny per hour, and then who knows what might happen!

The total spent by the USA on all of that is scarcely more than rounding error compared to our current debt and deficit. Not arguing that doing any of it was right, just that you need to keep some perspective about scale.
