U.S. ramps up regime change efforts in Solomon Islands in advance of upcoming election (Covert Action Magazine)
@[email protected] (I still can’t get worldnews to appear on this instance so bear with me)
Viewing the South Pacific as part of an “American lake,” as declared by Dwight Eisenhower in 1954, the Biden administration has recently signed security pacts with the Marshall Islands, Palau and Micronesia and is rebuilding old airfields in the Pacific islands used for bombing attacks on Japan in World War II, including the atomic attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Washington would like to bring Solomon Islands into the fold; however, Sogavare signed a security deal in April 2022 giving Chinese security personnel access to the Solomon Islands and allowing China to make “ship visits” and deploy forces there.
So Sogavare is being targeted for regime change.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Thanks I believe that broken link was because I selected “copy message contents” on the one I’d already sent to hexbear. Interesting!! Microblog federation with Lemmy is so quirked up. Now I know
Ah weird I’m not even getting the federated notifications, I guess this is really not able to be done purely through remote follows without having the server person assist. At least I can send my missives though, I can contribute a bit.
