I know that it seems like ancient history to your typical Ukraine flag Facebook pro war lib, but it actually wasn't that long ago.

The difference at the time was that zero voices in the mainstream talked much about Noriega being a former friend, and there was little chance that that conflict would lead to nuclear war.

Yep, well-said. As long as so many people remain unaware of such recent history, they remain so easy to manipulate.

Thank you for the articles about said recent history. I am old enough to remember the names but not the actual facts behind them. Keep it coming. Much thanks.

There's an excellent documentary on this, "The Panama Deception." It's $65 on Amazon so you know it's worth seeing.

Yes! I saw it back in the day (for less than $65)!
