[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With Gustavo Petro winning in Colombia, it looks like the left is resurging in Latin America and maybe, just maybe, the US will keep its grubby hands out and just let things go as they may.

Following the failed coup in Bolivia to install a Christian Fascist, Bolivians promptly elected a Socialist instead.

Peru elected a Marxist over a dictator's daughter.

Colombia for the first time in modern history elected a leftist, when the other option was a Trump-style fascist.

And no matter how hard the US tries, nobody actually recognizes that Juan Guaido is president of Venezuela. You may not like Maduro, I'm no fan myself, but he is their president, not that other guy.

Now I am counting the days until Lula unseats that horrible Bolosonaro, one of the worst people in the world for the environment, and one whom the US right wing heartily endorsed.

Thankfully our focus on Ukraine will cause us to leave Latin America alone (sarcasm, sort of).[/quote]
Good for them all. Latin America has suffered enough and I hope this brings progress for them. [/quote]
