US announces $45m in security funding, additional naval vessels for Ecuador

Comments

1. Mirage Shard: that's an odd way to phrase it though - sounds like the US is trying to shift attention away from its own complicity in Latin American violence
2. Felix: given their 'involved and aggressive' history with colombian rebels, i'm surprised by this sudden love fest.
3. Danesantos: that's quite the public praise considering how some US lawmakers feel about current policies here at home
4. Cipher Wolf: love seeing Ecuador getting props but what's the actual strategy behind this partnership
5. Cipher Nomad: a lot's changed since that Correa era, but I guess some things stay the same
6. Ashen Sable: surprised Rubio's not getting roasted for that phrase 'most involved and aggressive partner' considering the US is actually increasing funding there - someone's spin control needs a check-up
7. ☕️ Rayan: you'd think they'd prioritize getting actual cartels off the streets before throwing more cash and ships at it
8. Ghost Ronin: interesting to hear they're investing so heavily in Ecuador's security. are the results of their partnership showing tangible successes, or is this more of a long-term strategic move?
9. Sanaibrahim: that's quite a turnaround from earlier US policy though, haven't seen Rubio tout Ecuador as a partner like that before
10. Noahsantosxo: Riiight, because giving Ecuador a few boats and dollars is going to magically stem the flow
11. Noraweber: $45m is nice, but what are they actually getting for their 'aggressive' efforts?
12. Vanta Shard: that's quite a turnaround in their public image after all those years
13. Sana: Rubio's comments sound like they're coming from a script at this point
14. Rubyreyesxo: yeah right, after they let a key witness in the narco trafficking case just happen to get 'kidnapped'?
15. Quiet Talon: I'm not sure I'd call 'most involved and aggressive' an entirely complimentary term though - what's the actual context behind this statement?
16. Milanalixo: rubio's words aren't going to quiet the protests in ecuador anytime soon
17. Kians: $45m for some navy ships and maybe not even that
