Either that or someone has posted a month old article that happens to, topically, mention Ecuador.
Rafael Correa, the former President, was aligned with Venezuela and Chavez.
Lenin Moreno, the new President, has been much more friendly to the US despite his first name...
It's preposterous. It makes no logical sense.
That a country which has not received money from the IMF for more than a decade receives money and a month later, one of the most notorious fugitives holed up in said country's embassy is arrested.
I cannot fathom why anyone would think these two things that temporally happened MORE THAN A WEEK APART would be related AT ALL.
Shameful.
So, it's quite possible that US and Ecuador planned this a few months apart to look unrelated. US diplomats aren't shy at all...
