He's threatened Brazil, he's blowing up fishing boats in the Caribbean and now in the Pacific. What is he trying to do, exactly? I don't think it's anti-drug. I think it's some kind of power grab and needs to be stopped.

(15,593 posts)The conceit is that Democracy doesn't work, only Dictators are strong enough to rule nations.
And by painting all non-aligned hispanic nations or nations that complain about his dictatorial actions as being part of a criminal conspiracy of failed nations, he feels it allows him to justify the incarceration and deportation of anyone associated with those counties as criminals.
They're all bad people, because they aren't willing to bow down to him and his natural superiority. If they want to be his servants or agree with him - that's fine, means they're smart. Everyone else can go to jail.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
