The single-celled cowboy George [5] was not even this lazy in searching for pretexts for the war in Iraq; but what can you do when the disguise of a “war on drugs” immediately peels off the moment you recall that with those same tiny hands, he literally amnestied a proven Latin American drug trafficker the day before—the former right-authoritarian president of Honduras, whom they had imprisoned in an American jail for life because of the mountains of cocaine he and his brother pumped into the USA [6], perhaps even directly to Casa Paella [7]—in order to help his party cronies, ahem, “win” the elections and build yet another concentration camp in another Central American state, following the model of Bukele’s El Salvador [8]. It looks like the embodiment of fears about a global deal between two imperialisms: “you leave us the Western Hemisphere, we leave you Ukraine.”
