I do not know enough about Ecuadorean politics to form an opinion on this, but I hope it does not portend a future of violent western intervention in Latin American politics, which would just be a replay of the past. Some Republican presidential literally want to invade Mexico, which seems insane, but America has done it in the past, and I also thought overturning Roe v. Wade was insane... Hopefully we get more news soon of who the shooter was, and his motivation.
