    That's fucked, and if this is true, Ortega has to be trampled by a worker's revolution.

    After the US empire has fallen.

              Well, don’t believe what a gusano has to say. Support anti imperialist third world nations.

                      I’m saying that you shouldn’t fall in line behind any attacks on him. Anti-imperialism matters the most. American capitalism is infinitely worse than anything that Ortega has been alleged (without real proof mind you) of doing

                          You putting your doubts out there emboldens the CIA. Keep them to yourself.

                            if the CIA cared about this you'd see 100x more headlines and war hawks blowing up smoke

                                    No, what did Biden say? If Biden said something I'll instantly forgo everything I know about the situation in Nicaragua and support mass murdering dictators just to contradict him.

                                      Who would you trust to be the better man? A leader of a revolutionary communist group that overthrew an American-backed fascist leader, who has fought for communism, or the man who eulogized Strom Thurmond?

                                        A leader of a revolutionary communist group

                                        I believe you mean an opportunist that turned the country into his family property, colluded with neoliberal contras, invited in walmarts and pizza huts everywhere, and killed protestors who didn't like his austerity measures.

          I’m not gonna trust a random person’s anecdote with absolutely no proof to back it up.

              While left voice is a reasonably good site, this particular author is pretty Sus. He’s opposed the Cuban Government on their stance against an obvious CIA astroturfed movement, and his first claim to fame is anti-Maduro propaganda. Not the best source, I saw you linked other articles to someone else so I’ll read those too
