“We have a lot at stake. This region matters. It has a lot to do with national security. We need to step up our game,” Gen. Richardson said referring to Latin America.
BTW, they actually did not ask only those three, they also asked Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico y Peru. So they are asking the country who’s ex president who’s being persecuted by law and that you are offering political asylum to donate their Russian weapons and buy Usonian ones instead.
Argentina’s president is pretty shitty but he’s trapped in the inheritance of Peronism at least when it comes to international politics, specially considering how the region currently is, it may be a different scenario if the neighboring nations would be right wing neoliberals. So I doubt he would agree. Colombia currently has a president who was in a Marxist Leninist guerrilla in his youth, and while he’s no longer a Marxist I doubt he would go for such a shitty move.
You’ve surprised me in regards to Colombia. Perhaps I was misinformed, but I thought he was a Washington’s yes-man, with police death squads and USian businesses engorging themeselves on the local resources?
I would not put it past the US to ask Cuba, let the Cubans donate then send the western weapons replacement, intercept their own ship, impound it and declare it to violate the embargo thus screwing Cuba over.
What Cuba should do is say this is their concern, ask the US to send replacement western weapons first before they send the Soviet weapons then not send the Soviet weapons (inventing reason if they want), what is the US going to do? Embargo them harder?
The funniest thing would be cuba accepting, and then the weapons shipment being seized for violating embargo

I can see Argentina and Colombia agreeing

not the new one, Gustavo Petro (elected last year)
Aaah, my bad. Thank you
Yeah, it’s the first left wing president who seems to be in the correct path in Colombia for at least two decades.
Ecuador and Peru are most likely to agree given their current regimes - a banker and a us backed, coup installed lawyer.
