Taking a page straight from the “CIA backed fascist in South America who lost an election to a leftist” handbook, Keiko Fujimori, former president of Peru, initially blamed her recent presidential election loss on the (communist) winner rigging the election. But when that didn’t work, she moved to “well Peru is the battleground against communism.”

This is practically an invitation to the CIA, OAS, and other tangential orgs to help her stage a coup.
Just like we did to Lula in Brazil when he was going to beat Bolsonaro a couple years ago. Just like we did to Zelaya in Honduras in 2009 (thanks Obama). Just like we did to Morales in Bolivia a couple years ago. Just like we do in Venezuela literally any chance we get. Or Cuba or Guatemala or Argentina or really any country on that continent.
Anyways communism doesn’t work.

Castillo is a real socialist, so this should get interesting. Hopefully not like Allende.

Yeah I mean Castillo has some issues don’t get me wrong but his party is legit Marxist-Leninist, this isn’t like AMLO in Mexico or even Lula in Brazil.
And with things spiraling out of their control in Colombia and Bolivia, I expect the US to completely overreact here. After all, there’s an enormous cocaine trade that we have to dominate.

We do have a growing population of disaffected young men that have few economic and social prospects living in their parents' basements that we need to get rid of, as well as a bunch of other social, political, and environmental problems that are becoming harder and harder to ignore.
Sounds like a perfect time for a large scale military invasion, don't ya think?

When the people get shaky about their leadership, foist a crisis upon them. I think that crisis will be a recession but it could easily be a war.
That said, we keep things relatively hush within our sphere of influence. If the CIA wanted to they could just send some guys in to overthrow all these leftist governments in Central and South America, but they increasingly fail because of how much distance they feel they need to put between themselves and whatever Democrats For Democracy and Freedom moderate rebels they decide to bankroll. I mean shit 70 years ago we’d risk nuclear Holocaust to oust Castro in Cuba, but the American people aren’t shitting themselves to death about creeping reds anymore. But that’s the thing, we’ve been taking some L’s lately and putting some considerable effort into prolonging the Fujimori dynasty in Peru could be the pep rally our military empire needs.

I can't remember the wording. Was it that you have a right to run them down if they won't get out of your way?

I think it has to be in self defense . You can't just plow into a crowd of peaceful people but if they start trying to break your windows and open your doors you can't be held liable for choosing not to just sit there and see what they do . Law or no law if I find myself in this situation I'm going to put my shit into sport mode and start doing AWD doughnuts like Ken Block . What the person in Minneapolis did isn't that . There's a difference between plowing into a crowd and plowing out of one .

I think it was something to the effect of “if you happen to run over someone protesting in the middle of the road you can’t be held liable.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/22/us/politics/khashoggi-saudi-kill-team-us-training.html
So it turns out the Saudi torture squad that murdered and dismembered WaPo journalist Jamal Khashoggi were trained by the US military.
So this begs the question: were they trained under a Republican president or a Democrat president? because that will dictate how I feel about this.

Oh. Yikes, guys. It was both. So I’m gonna go with “Obama was training the torture squads FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD and then Drumpf ruined it”

Sounds like they were trained by a mercenary company, not directly by the US military.

Yeah the State Department runs it through some retired general’s consultancy firm to evade accountability.
Something we picked up during Iran Contra.

I mean, yeah. That's like the whole point of an unaffiliated mercenary company.

Although the article appears to make the US look bad, I'll show I'm not some pro-Russia/anti-US shill by saying I don't think there's enough evidence here to say the training had anything to do with Khashoggi's murder. Sure, a US Defense company trained the Saudi crowned prince's body guards in defense, but that doesn't prove a thing about US involvement in Khashoggi's murder. 
Edit: That may be exactly why the NY Times allowed this article to be published.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Yeah I’m not saying the US was involved in the killing itself, but I’m sure this is a piece of why both parties have just brushed it under the rug. We were never gonna do anything about it anyway, the only outrage that existed at the time was because trump was in charge, now that he’s gone it’s just another inconvenient death for the democrats.
I think the main takeaway here is that when liberals look at a place like Saudi or Brazil, they say “see? We shouldn’t be appeasing repressive regimes like these!” as if we aren’t the repressive regime, and those two aren’t simply junior partners we’ve brought along for the ride.
Also, imagine making the distinction between a private mercenary group greenlit by the state department, and the actual state department.
We don’t say “GRU-linked hacker collective in Estonia hacked the DNC” we just say “Russia hacked the DNC.” We don’t say “Syrian army beats back terrorist insurgents” we say “Assad is killing his own people.” The leaders of nations all have agency, and those nations are all culpable as a single unit, until it’s the US or our allies.
