Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What countries are we not "punishing" at this point?

Y’all seem to have not noticed us down in Australia yet. Except for ripping us off for nuclear subs we’re never actually gonna get

Colombia is already going through a really rough time without Trump deciding to fuck it over even more. There's been mass displacements and killings in areas of the country where the ELN is fighting organized crime to control the coca leaf production, making thousands of people leave out of fear for their lives, most cities might have to go into water and electricity rationing because the reservoirs haven't replenished since the emergency last year.

Petro is currently in talks with Lula da Silva and Claudia Sheinbaum, we'll see what CELAC will decide about Trump, theres the possibility Trump is just doing this shit to show that he is "tough". There are talks about Colombia joining BRICS in case the US sanctions them.

Seriously I hope this pushes Latin American countries closer to each other and they can be more self-reliant. I feel they have the right leadership in place (besides Argentina lol)

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Leadership yes, but the conditions are bad for Lula da Silva and Gustavo Petro, they lack a majority in congress. And the Congress and Supreme Court works against their goverments (Except in Brazil, where Lula has some sort of agreement with the Supreme Court because Bolsonaro had plans to kill half of the Supreme Court Justices, and the Justices hate the Congress). I do think if Petro and Lula play their cards well, they might be able to actually pust for more Latin American integration/Latinoamericanism.

I hope so. If there ever was a time for it, what better time than now
