CIA Mural
On one hand, Ecuador flouts a mural at the inauguration of its leftist leader, which is ignorant in its pro-centralism and hostile in its anti-Americanism.
On the other hand, Ecuador already receives “at least $60 million in direct U.S. aid” and is looking to receive “additional support including help in easing its debt repayment load.”
The proverbial adage against biting the hand that feeds you obviously presupposes that the hand so bitten will not continue to extend itself.
