Crushing Latin America

The US stands poised for saber-rattling as Wayne Madsen puts it. Surely, there will be more than just displays in the near future, pending of course the outcome of next year’s elections in Nicaragua, Peru, and Mexico.

Wayne Madsen Report - Southern Command is planning a saber-rattling military exercise in Paraguay in 2006 called “Fuerzas Comando 06.” Although the Pentagon has invited some 20 Latin militaries to participate, Brazil’s military chiefs see the United States as their primary security threat. The Brazilian military (as well as Venezuela’s) is keeping a close eye on U.S. military activity in Guyana near the Brazilian border. Brazil’s armed forces have also held a training exercise called Operation Jauru that was partly targeted against any future U.S. military incursions from Paraguay into Brazil, Bolivia, or Argentina. Brazil is coordinating with the militaries of its progressive neighbors to counter the U.S. military threat to Brazil and its neighbors.

The the meantime, the empire is expanding and proliferating bases in and around the area, training troops at SOA / WHINSEC and rallying support among the countless operatives that are still in the region since the last time impudent progressive nations forget their place and had to be reined in.
Historically, it seems like a bad deal to live next door from the United States. So the forecast for 2006 and beyond is spotty showers, mostly cloudy and more low-intensity warfare.
