The second article is ten years old and reads like a "he said/she said" and the payoff is pretty underwhelming.
The political position of the grayzone is anti-imperialist which is an insightful way to view the US and its actions in central and south america for the past few decades. I am having trouble following the Nicaragua article as it is heavy on details. I know that one of the grayzone reporters actually lives in Nicaragua so I value their reporting more than a journalist based somewhere else.
And huge thanks to Russia for funding some media critical of the US. Radio Sputnik has some great shows like By Any Means Necessary.

- gre 5y agoThanks for the articles, I'll read them tomorrow.
- seppin 5y ago> The political position of the grayzone is anti-imperialist No it's not. They have no problem with the imperialism of China or Russia or Iran. They call themselves "anti-imperialist" the way Trump would call someone else a liar, to get out in front of the accusation before someone (rightfully) labels them as such. > And huge thanks to Russia for funding some media critical of the US. Propaganda. The word you are looking for is propaganda. Do pick up a history book and read the difference between, say Radio Free Europe (which is US funded) and the current attacks on anyone willing to expose Russian war crimes in Syria for example, funded of course by the Russian government. Don't allow yourself to be used by a foreign state, just because your politics match up.
