Looks like Bernie and DeBlasio's buddy is shooting to kill https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nicara...l-ortega-latest-news-deaths-mount-2018-07-17/
Support the contras again and finance the whole thing with an illegal and domestic weapons deal with Iran, eh? Aside from that, as sad as that is in Nicaragua, it's kind of hypocritical. In the rest of the world it happens in many places every day, but nobody in the US cares about that, because it's not on the doorstep and not with the history of the 1980's!
I'm not an interventionista ( to steal a word from Nassim Taleb), but I find it so hypocritical that fans of the Sandanistas now are silent.
Haven't been keeping up with this. Supposedly over 200 killed since it began in April. Firing on riot police with homemade mortars will get you killed, though.

Do you have some inside information who Bernie and DeBlasio's friends are? Why not just report on Ortega's shift to the right and his support of big business in recent years.
What does this have to do with the situation that is going on other that to remind us how much you hate America?
I don't care anymore, we have tried our best to do what we believe to be right. The problem is that there is no such thing as "right or wrong", it is basically one side vs the other. Now, we definitely can usually see that one side fits our moral standards more, but even so, actions have consequences and we have now seen that they simply aren't worth it. The problem with not being an interventionist however, is that those areas simply get worse and worse and the general population starts to immigrate. We also do not have the capacity to simply house, feed, employ and take care of this massive influx of people. Nations do horrible things and people die, but this is happening like crazy all over Africa, so why should I care about Nicaragua? The world has spoken and US intervention has been WAY more trouble than it is worth. I will pray for those people (even though not religious) and support charity foundations as I am able. But in no way should we use tax dollars to interfere with what is going on down there. I am done wanting to be the police man and eventual pariah of the world

Another view https://www.globalresearch.ca/nicaragua-terrorism-as-an-art-of-demonstrating/5647740 Who are the puppets, and who are the puppet masters?
Block them out. Not hard to do at all. You didn't see Jews trying to sneak into Nazi Germany did you?
And the Republicans as well, and as always, it does not matter if they are Republicans or Democrats. Only here it was about the Iran-Contra affair at my suggestion ... who was there president, lied endlessly, built BS without end ... but since he allegedly won the Cold War, so called an aircraft carrier after him ?
Who says I hate the US, eh? Because I'm naming incidents and facts that the US does not look that great ... because I keep these things from you ... because I show your frequent lying and hypocrisy ... because I call your insolence clear ... that's why do I hate the USA? I laugh my head off! If legitimate criticism of the US = hatred of the US means for you, then you make yourself straight to the Clwon! What and whom I hate is ... Donald Trump and his dumbfounded followers who either do not want to recognize his lies and ignore them, or worse, who also find the lies great and who do not care if he lies to them!
Reagan tried to defeat communist Nicaragua and Noriega but Democrats fought him every inch of the way. He is your boy.
Throwing around the "you hate the US" charge is like saying "I have nothing of substance to offer". It is an appeal to the emotions, and void of rebuttal.
You don't need to say it when your posts scream it. Stop bringing up false claims, you are not lodging "legitimate criticism", we all read and see what you write and it is far past that. It's fine, we all have the nations we don't like, I just call people out when they are pretty much blatantly lying to the community and their posts speak otherwise.
Uh huh, kinda like throwing around that comment gives anyone a free pass to say whatever they want right? it's fine, you guys are free to hate whoever you want, but don't try to pull the wool over our eyes and act like your comments do not absolutely point in one direction.
Say ... did you hear the bang in your head? Are you seriously denying that the Iran Contra affair and the Reagen had nothing to do with it ... What is a false claim at the Iran Contra Affair, eh? Say in which dream world do you live? May I not mention and write such facts without being directly labeled anti-American by some clowns? How ridiculous is that?
That's right ... if the arguments and views are destroyed with indisputable facts and evidence that will not make the US look so good ... then the idiotic mace "you're an anti-americans and hates the usa!" Just ridiculous and childish this behavior ..
Oh really? Then let's have a closer look at 2 current examples ... #1 The Russians actually or allegedly intervened in the 2016 election / election campaign. Wow ... impudence! But the fact that you have also interfered massively in dozens of election campaigns from other countries midstnens ... dispute is pointless, your own, shared CIA documents prove that ... is of course something else and can not in the same context with the action of the Russians be brought, eh? But since I do that and say that this behavior of you Americans is hypocritical, thats why am I anti-American for you? # 2 If in Iran, who is known to use the Sharia and someone is killed with one of Sharia's bestial punishments, then you Americans incite you ... but a week later in Saudi Arabia, who also apply the Sharia, someone with a just as beastly death penalty is killed, then you shrugs in the US, because Saudi Arabia is indeed your friend. If I call that hypocritical US behavior, then of course I'm anti-American, eh?
The thing is now the basic issue there is that the original socialistic Sandanistas are split. Some feel that Ortega has simply become a dictator and sides with business while the others are socialists who believe in democracy. So which side is Bernie on? In a way the Democrats in the USA are in a similar situation without a dictator. Obama and Pelosi side with Wall Street while others want a return to FDR's policies.
