A Second Pink Tide in Latin America? – Pt 1/2
With the left’s recent electoral successes in Peru and Bolivia, and previously in Mexico and Argentina, does this mean that there is a second so-called “Pink Tide” in Latin America? If so, how do we make sense of the first Pink Tide, its successes and failures, and what might Latin America’s left have learned from the first tide, as it gets ready to take power in several countries? René Rojas, professor at SUNY Binghamton, and Hilary Goodfriend, of Jacobin Magazine Latin America, argue that while the left needs a clearer economic plan, it is at an advantage at the moment because of the right’s disarray across the region.

Trump vs Biden on Foreign Policy – Abby Martin
Especially on China and Latin America, Biden and Trump overlap quite a bit. However, the major difference lies in Iran policy: Trump supports economic war against Iran; Biden supports the nuclear deal. Trump has been more, not less, aggressive than Obama-Biden. Abby Martin joins Paul Jay on theAnalysis.news podcast.
Biden is just Trump with dementia. I am ashamed of my country.
He is not Trump, but, has a tendency to back tract on things he promise. This is not good politics and could hurt the party in the 2022 elections.
The story of the blockade goes MUCH DEEPER than this flyweight docu indicates. Baseball players? Really. I suspect that the Hollywood guys behind this project think that´s “sexy”. It´s not. It´s superficial. They are probably also responsible for choosing a young, lightweight, if nice, WOMAN as the narrator, in keeping with the PR mandates of our times. But women rarely have charisma or “gravitas” – that´s just a fact. So the “lightweightedness” is only further accentuated. Very disappointing to see such a chance wasted.
This was produced by a collective based in Havana, mostly young Cubans. Reed Lindsay is an American filmmaker that now lives in Cuba and is part of the collective. No Hollywood types involved, just people who know how to produce high production values.
Maybe you have a virus on your computer/phone and thus was miss-directed to a different video. That’s about the only way I can understand how you didn’t hear or see the coverage on impact of embargo on medicine/medical equipment, tourism, finance, remittance, and trade balance payments.
