    wild claims about “gunning down protestors”

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/18/nicaragua-amnesty-international-police-killings-daniel-ortega

    This is actually happening.

    if US media outlets are talking about him like this it’s for one reason

    if the US war machine or CIA topple machine gave a shit about Nicaragua, you'd see a shit ton more headlines. We've had mostly silence on the issue on the English speaking internet, compared to fake issues like Venezuela/Cuba/Iran/China.

              WaPo is writing hit pieces because they care deeply about the Nicaraguan people, I am an adult who consumes media critically!

                  ok your anecdote has convinced me, time for America to fund some Nicaraguan death squads by running drugs to US inner cities and selling weapons to Iran. maybe mine the harbor of Managua again? let's put your spouse in charge of the US marine invasion force
