If Ecuador weren't a right-wing US client state, this video of Ecuadorian army trucks driving through crowds of protesters would go viral and go down in history like the Tiananmen Square tank photo

Nothing to see here, just the US-backed right-wing Ecuadorian regime threatening to sic huge dogs on people who go out after the 3 pm (!) curfew
If Venezuela carried out a fraction of this violent repression, it would be 24/7 news. In Ecuador it's ignoredhttps://t.co/bLUC4cVug3

When US-backed right-wing regimes kill protesters, it's totally fine. The corporate media certainly won't publicize it; they're too busy focusing on demonizing US enemiespic.twitter.com/O2xQocZJQz
