Marco Rubio talks tough, but “this is not about invading and removing them”

Marco Rubio has delivered a forceful message on Nicaragua, but the approach, as framed in the source, is not about invading the country and removing its leaders.

The next meeting of the Organization of American States’ foreign ministers is expected to address Nicaragua’s crisis. It still has no date, however, because organizers are waiting for the U.S. secretary of state to confirm whether he will attend.

Rubio’s message to U.S. allies has drawn attention as governments consider what response the regional organization might take. The central question is how far that pressure could go without becoming military intervention.
