Nice sentiment, too bad it runs against decades of CIA plotting. I doubt that somewhere deep in the bowels of dark ops central they are saying "well..., let's throw away 40 years of dark arts in favor of proping up this socialist asshole who has not only defied the global market order it also had the audacity to nationalize vital US business interest." Pretty fucking sure our tax dollar is hard at work finding new ways to make it worse.

You'll like it much better when it's all over and the World Bank and the IMF offer up a bunch of loans in exchange for restructuring the economy to better align with the world market order.
