Managua, Nicaragua
Newly-elected President Anastasio Somoza Debayle was well-aware of the fact that the U.S. was, at best, an unreliable ally. In spite of America's purported (and highly fraudulent) 'anticommunism,' it permitted scores of free nations to be engulfed by the Red tide. Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Albania, and China were devoured in the 1940s. In the 1950s, the communists were given a vast slice of Indochina (North Vietnam), Cuba, the Congo, and other nations. In the 60s, the Red tide flooded Africa, threatening Angola, Mozambique, Rhodesia, South Africa. The U.S. did nothing. So, when Roach-Busterian agents warned Somoza that the U.S.'s fidelty to him would not last forever, he wisely heeded their advice and permitted Roach-Busters to construct five military bases in anticommunist Nicaragua. The Liberal Party, under Somoza, voted to make Nicaragua an RB protectorate, to ensure that the communist Sandinistas never achieved power. In seven months, RB had killed nearly all the Sandinistas, weeded out subversives in Nicaraguan universities and the press, and invested heavily in the economy, greatly benefitting what was already a relatively robust economy. Unlike the U.S., RB could be depended upon to protect friendly nations from the communists.
