Nicaragua has unilaterally severed diplomatic relations with the Netherlands. The direct cause was the Netherlands’ decision to definitively terminate its financial contribution to the Nicaraguan authorities for the construction of a hospital in Nicaragua, which has been on hold for several years. Cutting diplomatic ties is an exceptional and highly unusual step, and goes against the wishes of the Netherlands.

A few days ago this suddenly popped up out of the blue, thoughts? I think more countries should tell the Dutch to go fuck themselves, if you ask me.

    Seemingly the Netherlands was levying anti-socialist scaremongering against them as well as feigning concern over “human rights abuses” and the like. Western powers are starting to learn that their insidious and hypocritical accusations of human rights abuses and calls for regime change / desocialization under threat of economic punishment have consequences… good. Some aspects of the Nicaraguan government I do not like, but it is not my or the Netherlands’ or anyone but the Nicaraguan peoples’ right to decide those things.

    Stonewalling the building of a fucking hospital because of concern over “human rights” is damn laughable. Supporting human rights by ensuring people lack the right to healthcare, wonderful.

      “There’s no human rights, therefore we shouldn’t build them hospitals” amazing
