RE: Nicaragua in Crisis (June 27th 2018)
What Ortega says and what he does is two different things. So far all we have seen is more violence. The UN and EU have so far been unsuccessful in getting him to even ease up on the violence.
Both those bodies are pretty notorious for being the parent who threatens time out when the kid is in a full-blown tantrum...:(
Yes, that describes them to a tea. So far talking has not accomplished anything as it is pretty difficult to hold a dialogue when no-one comes to the party. Ortega has been using his old playbook from his guerrilla days, only he has ramped up the violence and so far he has been effective against the people who are generally poorly educated fisherman or farmers. He knows how to keep the fear factor running high.
