Red Dawn


When the Americans were trying to overthrow the Sandinistas, I don't recall being told that the problem was that the Russians and Cubans were supplying some weapons to the Sandinistas (not that the Americans had done to the Somoza government whose airforce bombed its own people), and that this would provoke the United States to escalate the conflict. Or that some among these "Sandinistas" held strong religious views, which they might export round the world.
Maybe now there is a conflict in Syria, I'm listening to different people.
