But what country wouldn’t enter a state of law and order if you had an invasion force on your coastline for 20 years? When multiple coups have been attempted supported by a foreign government? A foreign government that currently funds political yet ‘non governmental organisations’ for the opposition party in your country to the tune of millions of dollars when the average monthly wage in the country is $200? When that opposition party has repeated supported coups and foreign influence? When a country has repossessed billions of dollars of gold, and explicitly states it wants to strangle your economy until the country chokes? When there’s a 200 year old precedent of U.S invasion in the region? When the U.S is following the classic playbook for invasion?
You either roll over and have your country sold to the highest bidders, or you put the walls up. Look at any country in wartime. This is the only way to conceptualise this. Latin America has been at war with the U.S since the 1800’s.
So here’s my task for you all:
Ask an American how they’d feel if China had done even half of those things in America. How would the U.S react?
Tricky one - authoritarian? Technically true.
