But I thought this was a glorious American Tradition; you know, Mexico, Philippines, Korea, Vietnam ,Argentina, Chile, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Australia in 1975... 60 sovereign nations since WWII. Same ol' same ol'. Peru will make 61 countries thus invaded; their resources confiscated, and their people reduced to slavery.

Sigh, I understand this so well, especially as I am currently protesting against the missile launching pad a few miles from where I write, operated by Ratheon and LockheedMartin, and the twelveth US military instalation to dominate our remote Northern Territory of Australia. But I must protest quietly because the Marines Corp has lots of Abram tanks in a warehouse ready to silence The Inconvenient.

I suppose you are wondering why I should protest against the Freedom & Democracy thus bestowed on me. I am a little picky, I guess, but its just that US missiles are obsolete and the Russians and Chinese are a full generation ahead; which means that when the Pentagon enacts the 2015 Rand Report recommendation and positions to attack China, the missile site will be obliterated and with it, solid fuel and warheads will be vaporised, to then drift over Arnhem Land killing around 14,000 Australians with chlorine gas and heavy metals.

The same armada of missiles will vaporise Darwin causing the giant Inpex gas tank to explode and level a radius of 20-something miles. That will wipe out another part of my family, five grandchildren lost thus far.

Actually, it seems to me the people of Peru are getting off lightly. Their Freedom & Democracy will be a whole lot less lethal than ours.

Lithium. Peru has lithium. And so did Afghanistan. And Peru has had U.S. troops visit and rotate in and out with no base.
