Look it up, with the last president, Correa, Ecuador was significantly backing away from the West and being more friendly with China and Russia, but this new president is pro-West. A month after they trade Assange, somehow Ecuador secures a 6 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund, while previously no one bat an eye. The current regime is definitely a puppet government

Are you saying Ecuador was a puppet of China and Russia?

Look at my comment again. I said "more friendly with Russia and China". That does not imply that I said that Ecuador was previously a puppet of China and Russia, simply that it was more friendly with them than they were the West.

I'm pointing out how easily it is to say "they're a puppet of" when a nation is close to a given nation and does something you don't like.
