The Spin

This was a diplomatic victory for the US. Ortega's arbitrary arrests and incarceration of members of the opposition and NGOs, and stripping dissidents of their nationality, must cease. No one should have to risk getting arrested for peacefully exercising their fundamental rights.

As long as the US continues to exercise its North American imperialism by meddling in Nicaragua's internal affairs, Nicaragua will do what it has to do to quell the forces that would do ill by its government. Nicaragua has a right to defend itself from those wishing to do it harm from inside or outside the country.

Metaculus Prediction

There' s 29% chance Nicaragua will experience a successful coup d'etat before Jan. 1, 2040, according to Metaculus prediction community.
