When US troops enter a Latin American country, it is not for solidarity!

VHeadline.com guest commentarist Carlos M. Pietri writes: With the creation of a military base in Paraguay, the United States has made a strategic move ... a possibility that had been denied to them by Brazil and Argentina; but which Paraguay has done under Alfredo Stroessner ... 1954-1989 ... when the USA was allowed to establish a CIA base in Paraguay.

Paraguay has acted against Latin American interests, preferring to be at the service of imperialist interests instead of defending the sovereignty and the rights of its own people.

Paraguay must know that it has given a mortal blow to the South Common Market (MERCOSUR) construction process. In addition, it has opened a possibility to obstruct the Asuncion Treaty, where some agreements were settled for triple border administrative handling with Brazil and Argentina.

Although the Paraguay government insists that they did not sign "any agreement with the United States for the establishment of a North American military base in the territory of the Republic" and that they only authorized the entry and free transit of US marines until December 2006, we all know that when North American troops enter a Latin American country, it is not for solidarity and they do not withdraw in short time.
