According to the article, anonymous members of the US State department leaked documents suggesting members of Bukele’s government are corrupt. Is this the same US government that waged a secret proxy civil war in El Salvador for 12 long years in the 1980’s? [1] Would that be the same US State department that, according to Wikipedia [1], spent $1-2 million a day in 1980 dollars to fund the training and deployment of a child army to fight in said civil war, per Wikipedia? From the article: > “Relations between El Salvador and the United States are not at their best.” (Notably, the last times relations between the nations was not so good the US funded a 12 years long proxy civil war fought by child soldiers.) Critical thinking is important here given the realpolitiks of the situation suggest one would have to be extremely naive to assume these sources are genuine or unbiased on this topic. It is clear that Bukele’s actions were not looked upon favorably by the US State department and that they may have sent their propaganda arm into overdrive. The US State department is just doing their job protecting American interests, so you can’t blame them for trying to smear a highly popular democratically-elected Central American leader with a demonstrated economic policy that shifts away from US Dollar hegonomy. However, it falls on each of us to think critically on the realpolitik here and demand more evidence than the smears of anonymous US state Department sources. Trump recently tweeted that Bitcoin is bad for the US dollar [2]. This is of course true, but he wasn’t supposed to say the quiet part out load. By admitting an obvious truth in public, he just made it harder for the US State department and their media lapdogs to spread US friendly propaganda. Tell me again who is corrupt here?
