The funniest thing would be cuba accepting, and then the weapons shipment being seized for violating embargo
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.
I can see Argentina and Colombia agreeing
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?
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.
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?
😂
This ain’t country officials anymore, it’s group of clowns trying to compete who is funnier
The same US that is slandering These 3 countries for years 💀
I mean, when has that ever been a stopper? US has been slandering Russia hard all through the 90’s, despite officially being all “friendship bubblegum”. US is slandering China right now, despite buying everything from them.
Look who came crawling back after all the barking and pouting.
How can you even think that is a possibility after the wave of anti imperialists that are under power?
Absolutely mind blowing stuff to be honest. Really shows that US admin is living on another planet.
Either that or they know who will say no and can use it as additional justification for attacking those governments in the future. Most likely through more obvious and aggressive coup backing.
I’m sure they’ll try, but at this point it’s going to be hard to do given that most of Latin America is starting to form into a bloc.
Latin America is unfortunately not so united, while positive steps are being taken, the reality is that we’ve previously had greater integration with the UNASUR only to see it largely dismantled in the period between the last pink tide era and whatever we are calling this new wave of left wing governments in the region.
That’s true but US is far less powerful today and it’s starting to lose its grip on the empire. Ukraine is draining US resources at record pace, and they’re still trying to start shit with China while their projects in Middle East and Africa are collapsing. Getting Latin America back in line might just be beyond their grasp at this point.
By thinking you have the compradors under your thumb, like in Europe?
Yeah, not going to happen.
Arsenal of democracy moment
haha
