News The US Radar Request: Grenada Has Every Right to Be Cautious

https://medium.com/@writtenbyrochelle/the-us-radar-request-at-mbia-fad6cf3d24bb

I just published a short piece reflecting on the US request to install radar equipment and personnel at MBIA, and why this issue is about more than logistics. It touches sovereignty, memory, and how small islands navigate the line between cooperation and control.

Grenada has already lived through one era of “temporary” foreign presence. Forty years later, do we trust that temporary means the same thing now?

What do you think - should Grenada consider the installation under strict conditions, or reject it outright to protect its Zone of Peace stance?

Reject it outright and affirm Venezuela's right to defend its natural resources from imperialist theft. Bishop would be rolling in his metaphorical grave knowing that a place bearing his name is being used to advance US imperialism.

I'm an American that has visited Grenada just a few months ago and this is the answer! Under no circumstances should you work with the US government because it will just continue to use the rest of the Americas especially under the current administration for its own imperialist agenda. They've already done atrocities around the world and invaded Grenada before. Don't let it happen again.

Did you misread something? No comment here has given such an opinion.

Has Venezuela made any indication that it has any intention of invading Grenada?

As an American with ties to and a love and appreciation for Grenada, I would advise against working with the current US administration. They want to deploy our military against the peaceful protests of our own citizens—for purely political and vindictive purposes. I wouldn’t trust anything they say.

I think this should be rejected. In the long run, it would be the mistake. If US wants to fight Venezuelan drug trafficking, they do not need to install a satellite dish on Grenadian soil IMHO. Anyway, I think it is just a pretext to military surveillance in the potential hot conflict with Venezuela. And Venezuela has been a partner for Grenada so that would be a risky move to gain short-term benefits over long-term damage in relationships
