My country is an embarrassment and a bully.

The article makes this amazing claim:

"However, the threat against El Salvador appears to be the first case of the U.S. trying to push its diplomatic weight around in order to force a sovereign country to take steps that would better align with U.S. interests."

First, except for the million times before.

Probably means that that the US has now shifted to economic warfare instead of the usual gunboat diplomacy that morphed into death squads.
