US is invited to invade Peru by an unelected Peruvian "government" - aka a tyrannical dictatorship - (to protect access to lithium deposits used by tech companies?)
From here:
Now American Troops Are Going Into Peru. What in the hell? - Whatfinger Daily
“Why are we going into Peru now? The Corporations demand it… Why isn’t US media covering the coup in Peru? Biden installed a CIA veteran as ambassador and is now sending US troops to the nation. Coup, CIA, US troops?!? This is a huge story and yet nada in the MSM.”
Political turmoil has been brewing for quite a while, see this from 6 months ago:
Amid coup, countercoup claims – what really went down in Peru and why? (theconversation.com)
“The primary objective of this operation is to lend support and assistance to the Joint Command of the Armed Forces and National Police of Peru’s Special Operations, especially in regions recently plagued by violence.”
“it has been confirmed that US military personnel will shortly be arriving in Peru. The Plenary Session of Peru’s Congress on May 18 authorized the entry of US troops onto Peruvian territory with the expressed intention of engaging in cooperation activities with Peru’s armed forces and national police.”
Mexico is a little pissed.
“Mexican President AMLO is blocking Peru from assuming the temporary presidency of the Pacific Alliance regional trade bloc because there is no "democratic normalcy".
AMLO said Peru's unelected leader Boluarte "usurped the presidency".
He condemned Peru's coup regime for murdering dozens of protesters, and said, "humble people, poor people were repressed by those in the government".
So is Brazil:

Why Are US Military Personnel Heading to Peru? | naked capitalism
“Peru is currently under the control of an unelected government that is heavily supported by Washington but overwhelmingly rejected by the Peruvian people. The crackdown on protests in the south of the Peru by the country’s security forces — the same security forces that US military personnel will soon be joining — has led to dozens of deaths. Peru’s Congress is refusing to call new elections in total defiance of public opinion. Just a few days ago, the country’s Supreme Court issued a ruling that some legal scholars have interpreted as essentially criminalising political protest.”
Makes you wonder how this compares to the “defend democracy in Ukraine to the last Ukrainian” stacks up with helping Peru’s security forces murder voters protesting an unelected junta, no?
Onwards!

The U.S. military acts as the enforcement arm of global transnational corporations. The money ultimately accrues to the unidentified and unlisted Vanguard Board of Directors. The U.S. military never acts in defense of the United States. They are the paid thugs who protect the natural resources wanted and desired by those controlling the financial pursestrings. This 9-minute video is brilliant and relates everything anyone needs to know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkjbrnX8rl8
Remember the U.S. military chased "radical Islamists" into Syria in a grand free-for-all many years ago and NEVER left. The U.S. military is protecting the illegal extraction of oil from Syria's richest and most fruitful oil fields in the NE part of their country. This oil belongs to the Syrian people and Syria and not Conoco who extracts/markets this oil. Ever tried to track how the oil is shipped? Who profits? Who owns the facilities? You'll never find out, but I'm willing to bet someone who sits on Vanguard's BOD knows.
Call in General Smedley Butler, United Fruit is having a “problem” on one of their banana plantations.
