    In any way, Kent stepping down from the position is just an opportunity for the US to insert someone who is more class conscious, is more willing to bat for US policy, and will fall in line with the status quo no matter what imperialist vassal state is benefiting from the US’s attempts of capital accumulation.

    I’m extremely skeptical “more willing to bat for US policy” means anything beyond “isn’t actively worried about being a fall guy”. Admittedly I hadn’t heard his name before today though, so maybe I just lack the imagination to picture someone in his position today being unwilling to “fall in line with the status quo” before this letter.
