  1. While I'm glad my fellow Americans and other tourists are getting out safely, we need to not just turn a blind eye to this unrest in Peru.
    Something similar or at least widespread protests could really happen here.
    Imagine if January 6th riot would have been successful?
    Do we believe the rest of us in the country would just have kept quiet while most of us saw that all the lawsuits for T** calling election fraud failed?
    I'm pretty sure the 80+ million would have done some sort of protesting (hopefully not violent), all over the USA.
    Not just DC, like T****'s supporters planned.
    These people just had their votes invalidated by a corrupt congress (there are actual corruption charges against many members of this Peruvian congress).
    On the other hand there is no evidence on Castillo's corruption, they had to make up the reason for impeachment as "morally incapacitated" with NO EVIDENCE….
    Unfortunately, Peru's mainstream media, who I assume are your contacts and collaborators for these stories in the country, are more than biased.

    Maybe when some of the tourists get back they can tell us what they heard from the protestors themselves (not all of them are violent.. just like here in BLM protests).

  2. It’s a good idea to understand the political climate of a place before going to visit

  3. Sounds like a movie. Got their blood going. Remember that this is exactly what Trump wanted to do also.

  4. How long do we cater to the wealthy while our countries die

  5. Look if they riot its because they have nothing better to do. Send them to school give them a living wage Healthcare stability

  9. Seems just a little safer than the trip I have planned to Ukraine next month.

  10. There not stranded, this is how South America protests.

  11. Notice how none of corporate media mentions at all that the CIA caused this coup in Peru.

    It’s time to abolish the CIA and FBI.

  12. That would be the USA if Trump was potus

  13. Now that is what I call an adventure one can learn from.
    The fear of living descendants of the Inca while stomping across their ancestral grounds are two insults foreign tourists are completely clueless about is a mindset that is partially the fault of foreign tourists who buy into the grift of tourism.

  14. why to people go on vacation there is nuts !

  15. People can’t stay still. Stay home ! Stay in your country ! Stay 🏠‼️‼️

  16. Look NBC of the mess your st*pid government is doing on countries in latin america were leftist government has won an election,dont tell us the state department and the CIA are not involved in the ousting of the legitimate gov of Peru.but God willing washington's plan will FAIL..and will ultimately FAIL..

  17. No explanation, just a stinking pile of FUD.

  18. The only thing, which keeps a country from progress is politics. And it’s true in every country around the world. I am not for anarchy. But prove me wrong.

  19. Don’t let these Americans dogs escape

No apprication? Wtf🤷‍♂️. With all the love in the world i say screw em 💗😉

  22. Don’t ever go to Peru 🇵🇪🚫

  23. I would never visit South America.

  24. Can someone let Amy Madden know I'm on my way with my private helicopter and my private G5 to get her out of danger then a delicious flight home. Hold on I'm comin…..

  25. If MSM is covering Peru it must be completely out of hand.

  26. Evacuate Machu Picchu? Ancient Alien theorist say yes !
