    The opinion piece kind of suggests that LATAM doesn’t need to worry about Russia & China because they don’t have a history of being exploited by them first-hand.

    On the other hand it glosses over that they have exploitation victims elsewhere — in the past, in the now, and show no change or betterment towards the future.

        Quite an aggressive reply… but

        We can send support when they need to get rid of the fascist regimes from the “allies”. International solidarity.

              Given past history I highly doubt Europe would lift a single finger to help fight a dictatorship, much less an US backed one lol. It’s not like they care about anything outside of their mediterranean bubble.

                Yeah even Europe isn’t very far reaching and has a lot of own troubles with the aforementioned tyrannies.

                I’d still be more hopeful about people supporting each other than succumbing naively to hateful powers

        You can’t fix stupid! Fortunately it is not contagious. So do as you please, it affects us not.

        Good luck to you in the future mate.
