Western Nations Wish Sri Lankan People Gave More Notice, Could Have Put Puppet Government In Place

THERE were disappointed faces among some senior western military and intelligence figures as the Sri Lankan people secured the resignation of president Gotabya Rajapaksa in such a swift fashion that western nations weren’t able to put a puppet regime in place.

“We’re just asking that next time, you call us in advance so we can make sure we get our guy in,” US General Mark A. Milley said addressing the news Rajapaksa had fled to Singapore after months of protests that didn’t initially look regime ending.

The ending of family rule which lasted nearly 20 years after sustained protests is the sort of thing General Milley and US allies would have been happy to instigate if they had known Sri Lanka’s political circumstances had changed in a dramatic fashion.

Facing food and fuel shortages, Sri Lanka would normally fit the perfect profile of a country to have its resources sucked dry by western leaders claiming a stable democratic era could only be ushered in by handing lucrative government contracts to multi-national businesses hailing from western nations.

“You guys don’t have oil, do you?” added Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, searching for an explanation for why this political instability remained off his radar and unexploited.

“You know it’s actually pretty inconsiderate to do this without asking first,” confirmed one intelligence analysis, who would now turn their attention to thwarting any possibility of political stability in the short term.
