🛰🛰🛰🛰 Following the US actions in Latin America, Sputnik showcases the traitors and sell-outs who aided imperialism on the continent

🇵🇪 Fernando Belaunde Terry

Pro-US President of Peru

Fernando Belaunde Terry, leader of the Popular Action party, served two terms as president of the country from 1963 to 1968 and from 1980 to 1985.

Known for his pro-US orientation, he maintained close relations with Washington, ensuring the interests of US companies in Peru during the Cold War.

In 1968, he was accused of conspiring with the US International Petroleum Company (IPC) via the controversial Talara Act.

Oil fields were transferred to the state, but the IPC kept the refineries, distribution and other key assets.

The scandal erupted with the deletion page 11 of the contract, which allegedly contained clauses favorable to the country, seen as a capitulation to US imperialist interests.

Belaunde was overthrown in the October 3 1968 military coup led by Juan Velasco Alvarado.

His legacy was pro-US policies and concessions that aided foreign interference in Peru.

US Vice President JD Vance said in an interview with Fox News that the US can exert pressure on Venezuela by controlling “the purse strings” and “the energy resources,” and by allowing oil sales only if they “serve America’s national interest.”

He added this approach applies “without wasting a single American life” and “without endangering a single American citizen.”

🚨🇩🇰🇺🇸 Denmark vows ‘shoot first’ rule amid US threats over Greenland — reports

Denmark’s defence ministry has confirmed that a 1952 rule of engagement remains in force requiring troops to immediately counter-attack invading forces without waiting for orders if Greenland is attacked, according to The Telegraph.

📄 “The attacked forces must immediately take up the fight without waiting for or seeking orders, even if the commanders in question are not aware of the declaration of war or state of war,” the rule states.

The Telegraph reported the rule was reaffirmed after renewed statements by US President Donald Trump about annexing Greenland, a NATO territory that Denmark says is “not for sale.”

🔊 European governments are holding urgent consultations, with officials warning that a US move on Greenland could trigger a crisis inside NATO and potentially threaten the alliance itself, the newspaper wrote.

👉 After years of the fake “Russian threat,” the US is the one making allies panic.
