From China to Nicaragua
Dear Sandinista Leader,
I would like to just say, I agree with your stance on how the United States government is intruding on your territory. I apologize because as a third world party, I don't intend to join your cause, but on the other hand, we do not want to support the United States either. I am however willing to provide intel about the US and Contras. I will give you the best advice I can give. The United States will use you until you are of no longer any use to them; then they will cast you and your people aside. You have proof that the United States is a self serving entity and not an ally for the Nicaraguans. The United States President approved to have mining in your harbors which, I believe was without your consent. Is that correct? This was wrong! They can’t be trusted and an apology from President Ronald Reagan after the fact does not right, this wrong. I am sure you see what they are doing to you and your people. They are using you as bait to lure in the Soviet Union and when they do, you will have to side with the United States. For if you do not, they will leave you or worse. Then, where will you and your people be? Many will starve, die. Most importantly, they will seek new leadership. They will try to overthrow you and anyone who follows you. Even those whom follow you believe to be your most trusted followers will betray you and then there will be no one to come help you. It is clearly a trap. Mark my words.
My sources tell me that the U.S. is supporting the Contras, a group of terrorist rebels. They are known as the Nicaraguan Democratic Force or the FDN. They have come to overthrow you and your government. The U.S. has been supporting them since August of 1981.
The communists can be of aid to you and your people. I can attest to that. They have helped China become a better and safer place. They helped us see that the United States and Allies are enemies and will stop at nothing to gain control and build an empire. They are the cause of this war. If you join the communists, I can assure you that you will be unaffected by this war and your period of peace and prosperity will resume too.
The communists can bring your country prosperity. These riches can help you industrialize to become a powerful force to be reckoned with. You and your grand Nicaraguan army could fight off those villainous U.S. soldiers. The most important benefit for joining the communists would be that you would be the most popular leader in Nicaragua. You could rule Nicaragua and keep your people safe from harms way.
Join the communist. You will be free. Listen to this letter. The communist party will lead you and your people on the right path to victory.
Sincerely,
Chinese Chairman Mao
