López Obrador said the United States should spend some of the money sent to Ukraine on economic development in Latin America.
“They (the U.S.) don’t do anything,” he said. “It’s more, a lot more, what they authorize for the war in Ukraine than what they give to help with poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean.”
He called for a U.S. program “to remove blockades and stop harassing independent and free countries, an integrated plan for cooperation so the Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Ecuadorans, Guatemalans and Hondurans wouldn’t be forced to emigrate.”
“Don’t support Ukraine” is an unusual way to say “help us”.
And an unfortunate one.
Remember when Mexico almost sided with the Nazis?
This dude paraded Russian troops during Mexico’s Independence Day. I take what he says with a grain of salt.
I’ve got a spare.
It’s always a race to the bottom with humanity.
The US’s actions against Cuba are inhumane, illegal, and immoral. President Biden should follow Obama’s footsteps and normalize relations with Cuba.
End the blockade. Remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. Close Guantánamo Bay.
¡Cuba sí, bloqueo no!

The School of the Americas disagrees.
We could always spend the cash on organizing another coup and installing another Pinochet, but this time in Mexico!
Mexico should know better. This is just how the US treats allies that aren’t geopolitically significant like Canada and Mexico.
Color revolution when?

If Latin America was being invaded by Russia then that is where the US would be spending the money. So I don’t think he actually wants what he is asking for.
Considering how many times Latin America has been invaded by the US, I seriously doubt they would send aid instead on joining on the action against them.
Please review why money was spent there to invade, and then get back to us. (Hint: It was because someone else threatened the US “interests” (yes, the quotes are because most of those interests were profits for private corp.s but still))

Aztlán! Aztlán! Aztlán!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador issued a broad criticism of U.S. foreign policy, saying U.S. economic sanctions were forcing people to emigrate from Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
Instead they concentrated on expanded trade and economic ties, hailing new cooperation on those fronts, and stressed their commitment to fight the surge of synthetic opioids like fentanyl into the U.S. from Mexico.
“By creating the right incentives and business environments and harnessing our two nations’ respective strengths, we have a tremendous opportunity to make North America the most competitive, the most productive, the most dynamic region in the world,” Blinken said.
Experts say economic mismanagement and political repression are largely to blame for the tide of migrants leaving Venezuela and Cuba.
He called for a U.S. program “to remove blockades and stop harassing independent and free countries, an integrated plan for cooperation so the Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Ecuadorans, Guatemalans and Hondurans wouldn’t be forced to emigrate.”
The Mexican president laughed off an effort by U.S. Republican lawmakers to cut the tiny amount of foreign aid the U.S. gives to Mexico.
