My fathers friend and other good men lost their lives and a part of themselves to take back their home. I have real life accountability, something you won’t ever find in a history book. Now to make it clear, I’m only defending the good factions of that group because like in everything their are good and bad people who join things to suite their benefits. But remember this, The Sandinistas will always be the biggest Murderers, and thieves Nicaragua has ever known. Don’t speak on behalf of my Country you don’t know nothing of it and not every detail either including things my family went through and were put though by the Sandinistas. Reagan like other presidents isn’t perfect by no means, but what he did do through blood and sweat which is inevitable in both sides in war was free my home and allow a independent nation to run free again for a time worth while. Guess who came back to power...Daniel Ortega who drove my country back into the ground again. Like I said, don’t speak on someone’s country you have no connection with whatsoever.

    Everyone/society in this life have the capacity to make themselves great but some people didn't arrive on their destination they want while some chose to remain at the level they are and play the "Blame Game" waiting for freeloading or others to come and do it for them. There is a book called "Rich dad poor dad" and other inspiring books or quotes about life. If the developed nations can do it and get to the level they are, while won't other nations do the same. And adage says "Wisdom is profitable to direct" Again we need wisdom and in all our doing we should get understanding.

    5:40 : Over 2 decades and Mr.Reagan abruptly talked about Cuba. He knew something at that time that 20 years later from 1986... The year 2006 will be an entire Latin American under Sovjet and communist occupation. The USSR felt in 1991 but in 2006 we see the return of Ortega in Nicaragua , Chavez in Venezuela supported by Iran and Putins Russia and last but not least the rise of left-wing Marxist radical Manuel Zelaya in the country of Honduras , the heart of anticommunist activities in Central America. In 2021 we see a rising threat of Chinese Communists activities in Central America backed by the Sandinist Ortega regime, Cuba and North-Korea. The Red Danger is back and it,s stronger then Ever.

    You're absolutely right. Only 3 countries remain free from socialist leftist scum: Brazil, Paraguay and Equador, the last one being under fire lately from the Foro de São Paulo, a socialist organization whose goal is to implant said regime in Latin America (look them up and you'll see). I live in Brazil, and it saddens me to see our neighbors fall for these retrograde and absurd leftist criminals, whose goal is to impose poverty, narcotrafficking and a autocrat regime much like Venezuela, where a narco funded-like elite rules over the majority of the population, using bribes within the Armed Forces and Congress. Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Colombia have already fallen, thanks to their efforts to indoctrinate the youth and take over the power, perpetuating themselves there through constitution changes and a friendly Judiciary. We must resist at all costs.
