Op is 2023, this one is 2021

Now the question is do you take the man’s words at face value?

I struggle to see how you can call a unified coalition of armed groups fighting to depose the government “gang members”

Who the heck knows what’s going on here but the rhetoric speaks for itself, and CIA arming and funding of opposition militias would definitely not be unheard of.

I don’t know anything about the last pres who got assassinated before Henry (who is resigning today) took over in an “interim” capacity 3 or 4 years ago…

There is more to this story for sure imo, this is one to watch

Rewatching the 2023 vid it’s interesting that the analyst they interview says the gangs got their start as “mercenaries for politicians and the economic elite”

Blowback? 🤔
