Do you think the U.S. will lose control of Central America?

It seems as if Russia and the left wing forces are starting to move into to Central America again.

Do you think Central America could go left wing in the coming years?

Hmmm. No students of Central American Politics?



Socialist takeovers

CIA backed overthrows

Shadow armies

Cocaine dynasties

SOA school of the Americas



Well I'll let you guys get back to the powder puff puppet shows staring *Ooobamaaa… with special guests Hiiilllary Clintonnn….*

 

did we ever REALLY have control? i mean, honestly?

 

Since the downfall of the Soviet Union, the US has been able to roam the world at will, imposing it's will. Or at least attempting to. Central America has been in the thick of it.

This happens over such a stretch of years, US dominance almost begins to look normal. And THAT is the danger.

I welcome this equalization. Better to loose a little pressure now than try to contain an explosion later.

Besides, many old cold warriors want to get in that last knee to the groin before they pass. A new rumble with Russia Ver. 2 versus America 1.0 is just their ticket.

The odds are more equal than they seem.

I do think the U.S. has a fairly good grip on Central America not all of it but the majority of it.

Guatemala, Honduras are had by the U.S military and U.S. corporations/shadow armies.

Nicaragua no.
El Salvador for now but like that article was saying they are leaning left wing, same with Nicaragua.
That’s some important military real estate more then the U.S has lost for a long time.

But it takes $ to own 3rd world countries does Russia and Cuba have enough to fund more left wing armies?

Personally I think Nicaragua and El Salvador are unstable as fuck and nothing will surprise me.

I agree I think the odds in Central America are getting very equal now days.

 

Aren't they independent countries? Why should any other power control them?

 

Because ever since Cortez came on the scene the have been ruled by other countries now they don’t know how to rule themselves.

Not to mention natural resources and commercial profits that they don’t know how to manage along with military strategic locations.

 

They don't know how to manage their natural resources? Or is it that wealthy globalists could make themselves rich off exploiting them. And aren't those locations strategic for their own citizens.

They don't know how to rule themselves? I find it hard to believe the US knows how to rule itself. China owns more of our financial assets then US citizens do. Israel leads us into one expensive military campaign after another. Little seems to be done in the interests of the citizens of this country.

Commercial profits?

 

A word of wisdom to the Central Americas. Take control of your own countries, look after your own interests!

Protect your water rights. Water next to oil is the next market expansion.

 

I think mostly strategic.

Everyone can do without the bananas.

 

I can't do without bananas. They are high in potassium. I can do without war.

 

I am willing to pay a fair price for a good banana, but I not willing to spend another dollar on war or the control over another country.

 

im surprised no one has mentioned china and the panama canal..

there,its been mentioned...

 

your going to have to learn to live without the banana you know and love,it will soon be extinct..

i here there are many more varieties,they just dont transport as well so they will be virtually non existent except where they can be grown locally..

 

Sorry no I will not live without my bananas. And as an horitculturist I know that's a false proclamation.

As to the Panama Canal, that's the stupidist move the US ever made. China now owns the Canal. American lives were lost to build it, taxpayer dollars were sunk into it and now China controls it. Who doesn't know how to rule themselves? The Central Americans should learn a valuable lesson.

 

The Panama Canal is like analog tv air waves. Someone made a lot of money off it, but it wasn't the average American citizen.

 

The loss of the cannel is very bad and stupid..

Seriously how much would of it of taken to keep it?
We have spent how many billions in the Middle East a fraction of that would of had a new agreement on the cannel. Very stupid.

 

It probably wasn't Panama eather.

 

I am sure the citizens of Panama weren't winners with the turnover.

 

from what i gather panama is doing very well for itself and is considered one of the top retirement countries in the world..
