They have a decent reason to do so, but that doesn’t preclude escalation.

Former vice president of Ecuador, Jorge Glas was arrested. It’s part of a series of political persecutions by the vendepatrias that have run this country since Lenin Moreno betrayed his party, country and voters. It’s late and I don’t want to write an in depth piece on Ecuadorian politics. It doesn’t even matter because even people who don’t like Glas can recognize that this is just an absolutely insane action, a violation of the Vienna Convention and something which has few precedents.

Given the hysteria following the entrance of armed teenagers into a national TV station and a few simultaneous attacks, unfortunately most people will support this nonsense right now.

Also we signed a deal to send 25k workers to Israel. The referendum to stop exploitation of oil on one small part of the land that belongs to indigenous people in voluntary isolation has been overturned by executive decision - because we need the money and who gives a fuck if genocide is the result?

It’s been a bad couple of weeks in Ecuador and most people have totally lost their minds. I love my country but this shit is really testing.
