U.S. ramps up regime change efforts in Solomon Islands in advance of upcoming election (Covert Action Magazine)
Viewing the South Pacific as part of an “American lake,” as declared by Dwight Eisenhower in 1954, the Biden administration has recently signed security pacts with the Marshall Islands, Palau and Micronesia and is rebuilding old airfields in the Pacific islands used for bombing attacks on Japan in World War II, including the atomic attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Washington would like to bring Solomon Islands into the fold; however, Sogavare signed a security deal in April 2022 giving Chinese security personnel access to the Solomon Islands and allowing China to make “ship visits” and deploy forces there.
So Sogavare is being targeted for regime change.
Where are the goldfish-brained dipshits who always come out of the woodwork to call you a conspiracy theorist and say “yeah we did regime change in the past but not now”?
@Hurvitz@hexbear.net Well if they saw this they would likely be busy googling “solomon islands” but I imagine instances federated with Lemmy/Hexbear/Lemmygrad should have a relatively anticolonial crowd. Lemmy.world people (mostly the same
group of mods btw) would likely say this is good to challenge China’s corrupt authoritarian policing in the region
