The balance between the US drive to dominate its “backyard” and its counterpart, the Bolivarian cause of regional independence and integration, continued to tip portside in 2021 with major popular electoral victories in Chile, Honduras, and Peru.
US efforts to extradite Venezuelan diplomat Alex Saab to the USA raises dangerous precedents in terms of extraterritorial judicial abuse, violation of diplomatic status, and even the use of torture to extract false confessions.
The US must stop fishing in troubled waters and let the people of Belarus decide. They have the power and don’t need to be told what democracy looks like.
