Two US-Supported Coups in Latin America

US dollars are used in over 90% of exports in the Americas, meaning countries who run afoul of U.S. foreign policy are left vulnerable to being shut off from the international financial system or being placed under sanctions, such as countries like Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela. A UN expert estimated over 100,000 deaths in Venezuela as having occurred due primarily to difficulty receiving medicine under US sanctions. #PeruCoup

Americans, living in the "model democracy of the world", have been asking what should happen when a president attempts a coup to remain in power. We can now look to Peru to provide the right answer.

Reports coming in that the military and police are also siding with the Peruvian people in this self-coup attempt.

Reports also coming in that the president has fled and is seeking asylum at a local embassy.

That was a pretty quick fail, if accurate. #PeruCoup
