United States: The World PRI

United States: The World PRI? Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero The news regarding the North American interventionism in Mexico to alter the results of the next elections generates indignation, although it is understandable and common in the historical context of our neighborhood. Serious, but nothing new. What is interesting is not only the financing of the Mexican right but also of most of the political tendencies that serve geopolitical interests. US imperialism is capable of perverting the most noble and just causes to achieve its ambitions. A country that makes wars for peanuts and walnuts is capable of anything and much more.

Latin America is a constant example of military, economic, political and social occupation. The pandemic has come to demonstrate total American selfishness and pride. The incessant media attack, internal and external, on the government of the Mexican Republic is part of the destabilizing American tradition. The United States of America embassy plays the role of being an uncomfortable and dangerous guest. He always betrays the trust of the country where he resides. The relationship between the Democratic Party and Mexico has been more than unfortunate in recent years. Just remember the results with Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Obama, there is a negative prognosis with Pretty Fly Biden. The Democrats hurt the neighborhood between the United States and Mexico a lot, ...
