symbioidljregarding the recent elections in Nicaragua:
(Daniel Ortega, member of the Sandanista party, and former president, ran for election against Bolanos and lost. Regarding these elections, this is what the AP had to say in an article)
---------
During the campaign, the United States warned of dire consequences if Ortega were to win, invited Bolanos to hand out donated U.S. food and pressured a third candidate to leave the race.
----
OK, now is that fucked up or what, first, basically threatening action if Ortega won, second, donating food to one candidate to hand out, and well... fuck. That's all wrong. ALL wrong!!!! And if another country would do it(ie: if the Soviet Union would've done the same thing in the 80's when it was Sandanista run, we would've had a shit fit!)
Anyways.
