/ world today news/ “We are much more Americans than the descendants of the Anglo-Saxons”
The catastrophic development of the financial and economic situation in the United States, the inability of “the deep state” to break out of the impasse of civil strife and conspiracies cannot but cause concern among the leaders of Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Increasingly, the image of “colossus with feet of clay”used in reference to the United States. Anxiety is understandable: when “the colossus” collapses, the debris will scatter around the world and mostly go to those that are closer, those countries south of the Rio Grande, from Mexico to Argentina and Chile.
In these dramatic circumstances, Latin Americans should have a clear idea of what the scale of events in the United States will be, whether the senile administration of Biden and those who come after it will be able to prevent what is already visible from the tablets of history.
Internal strife in the US is fraught with civil war, the possibility of which, according to recent polls, is not excluded by half of Americans. Furthermore, one in five people in the United States condones political violence “for a good cause” (to protect democracy, freedoms and property).
Given the super-scale “weaponization” of citizens and an unprecedented surge of conflicts in society caused by difficult living conditions, the growth of exploitation in its “innovative” versions, a social and racial explosion in the United States seems inevitable.
And already manages to break into many daily episodes. Shootings with dozens of victims, robberies of supermarkets, attacks by declassified elements on prosperous neighborhoods – these are only the “flowers”. The “grapes of anger” have already ripened in the essentially agonizing middle class and, no less frighteningly, even among the security forces, who are psychologically exhausted by constant wars and punitive operations in remote territories.
Thousands of employees of the State Department and other institutions have gone through “internships” in dangerous regions. More and more threats to “revenge for previous humiliations” are heard from Latin American migrants.
So the current Latin American presidents are not sure of their peaceful “retirement future”. Washington has repeatedly shown that he is ruthless to those who serve his interests without the necessary enthusiasm. Panamanian Manuel Noriega, Guatemalan Otto Pérez Molina, Honduran Juan Orlando Hernandez and others ended up in US prisons on charges of drug trafficking and corruption.
At the time, Washington threatened with judicial repression almost all “populist” presidents, including the very popular Hugo Chavez, and now it targets the Venezuelan Nicolás Maduro, the Nicaraguan Daniel Ortega, Xiomara Castro from Honduras.
High-ranking American politicians have no qualms about threatening Mexican President Manuel Lopez Obrador, who has recently been critical of US policy. The Mexican leader is particularly displeased with non-governmental organizations funded by the Americans for their subversive activities.
On this occasion, Obrador wrote an open letter to Joe Biden in May: “It is not permissible to fund organizations that openly oppose the legitimate, legitimate and democratic government?” It violates our sovereignty and is essentially interventionism!”
Mexican sovereignty is the least important aspect of the bilateral relationship that Washington can care about. In words, yes – this “respect” seems superfluous. It is enough to look at the statements of American officials in recent years, they often sound assurances that “respect for the sovereignty of Mexico” is the leitmotif of Washington’s policy toward the neighbor.
In fact, the Biden administration does not allow any concessions to the Mexicans in the trade-economic sphere. Obrador resists and, trying not to lose face, periodically makes loud declarations in a nationalist spirit. A significant resonance caused the inclusion in his weekly press conference of the song of the popular group “Los Tigres del Norte”,
„They bought water from the Bravo River without money.
Texas, Nuevo Mexico, Arizona and Colorado were taken from us,
California and Nevada were also stolen.
It seemed to them that the state of Utah was not enough, and they took Wyoming.
I’m Native American, I’m Hispanic, I’m Mestizo.
We are of all colors and all crafts,
And though it will hurt the neighbor,
We are much more American,
Much more than all of them put together.
There is another version of the ending of this verse in the song:
„We are much more American than the descendants of the Anglo-Saxons.
Obrador’s anti-American attacks have earned him some support from patriotic circles in the country, maintaining strong positions in the state apparatus, among the military leadership and in the special services. Obrador has consistently pushed the trade and investment interests of the country’s business circles, “secretly” maintaining ties with Mexican oligarchs Carlos Slim and Herman Larrea (so as not to annoy fellow leftists).
At the same time, the experienced politician Obrador skillfully uses demagogic methods in public communication with the masses, which guarantees him a relatively peaceful stay in the presidential office until the end of his six-year term (re-election is not allowed).
With the imminent loss of the dominant global position of the USA in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, the question of who could “personally” represent the region as an authoritative political figure enjoying the confidence of the continent is implicitly discussed.
Obrador claims this role. Many of his statements are circulated in the media. Obrador’s proposal to Brazilian President Inacio Lula da Silva to abandon the use of the dollar at the regional level in establishing new trade ties received a large response.
Obrador has repeatedly demanded the release of journalist Julian Assange from an English prison, promising to grant him political asylum. The Mexican president’s thesis has always sounded emphatically that the dominant root cause of consumer-oriented drug trafficking is in the US,
However, Obrador has not become an influential figure on the continent. Brazilian President Inacio Lula da Silva tried to come up with initiatives on the “Ukrainian case”, but found himself in an unpleasant situation because of the “insult” from the American puppet who did not come to the meeting with him at the appointed time.
The president of Chile, Gabriel Borich, who positioned himself as a left-wing politician, was compromised. One year of his “tumultuous” activity was enough for the truly left-wing political forces of the continent to establish: this is an emissary of pro-American circles in Chile, where Pinochetism is reawakening.
Borich, at every convenient opportunity, denounces “human rights violations’ in Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, but he never mentioned a word about the systematic violation of the rights of millions of Latin Americans, and especially of the Chileans themselves. The presidents of Argentina, Colombia, Peru, mired in domestic problems, are hardly noticed internationally, let alone other small countries in the region.
Still, there is hope for a political renaissance in Latin America. In Cuba, in Venezuela, Nicaragua, in many countries on the continent, at youth forums and festivals, the words No Pasarán are heard – “They will not pass, fascism will not pass!”. In youth leftist circles, Nicolás Maduro, a trusted successor to Hugo Chávez, enjoys great authority. Perhaps it is he, an energetic politician, a convinced Marxist, a Bolivarian, who will lead the process of revitalizing the left forces on the continent …
