For the same reason fascists constantly accuse of “virtue signalling.” Dickheads like this have convinced us everyone is secretly as much of an amoral, power-hungry narcissist as them. So when we talk about caring about other people, they assume we must be lying for some kind of political benefit-- because there’s absolutely no way we actually care about other people, nobody does that, right?
(This is also how they sleep at night, by the way: sure, they’re bad, but everyone else is just as bad as them if not worse, so who cares.)
So yeah, a dickhead like Putin is going to assume every other country must secretly be just as revanchist as his Russia.
Yeah, there’s precisely zero chance this doesn’t blow the fuck up in El Salvador’s face in the long run. Not to mention it’s horrific on every possible level.
Hope to god El Salvador manages to figure out a way to get rid of this guy, and fast. Otherwise they’re in for a very bad few decades.
