seems like they want to keep haiti from aligning with cuba which could potentially allow dominican republic and jamaica to also become independent from us control. i think they probably want to keep haiti from establishing oil platforms as well

Was a realignment to Cuba even remotely likely under Moïse before they had him killed?

probably not but moïse was doing a lot of infrastructure projects that could have lead to a more independent haiti. the us probably wanted him out because he was a leftist president who was widely popular and he was making material improvements to people's lives

All Manley did was nonaligned movement / social dem stuff and for this the US sent so many guns that Jamaica had to roll tanks to try to stop the gang fighting.

The Taurus didn't offer much for drivers craving the sport sedan experience. That changed with the 1989 debut of the Ford Taurus SHO (for Super High Output), a Q-ship of the finest order that offered up a high-revving Yamaha-designed V-6 engine and a tight sport suspension.

Thanks for saying what happened. I don't know if Jamaican politics counts in the Latin threads but my grandfather who was a member of Eradication Squad described how suddenly gangs all had fresh ar-15s and m16s

Fats Dominar is on the case


from what I’ve read the business community basically did the calculus and realized they could live with Lula a lot more than they could with 1) Brazil becoming an international pariah and 2) bolsonaro’s corrupt, incompetent cronies running everything. it wasn’t any kind of commitment to Brazilian democracy as much as a realization that a coup wasn’t likely to benefit them even in the short term.

e: found a good post on this

With one hand he saves gebs. With the other he commits goblin genocide. A true neutral.

A split developed between the Arce and Evo wings over the years. Haven't read any detailed articles on the why other than attributing it to Evo being power hungry or Arce selling out and both having different policies that weren't elaborated.

Last year the MAS party the ruling party picked Evo as their candidate but the judiciary said no and it looked like an Evo wing only meeting which made the split official in Bolivian politics.

Its depressingly common for me to hear people talk about cuba just completely glossing over the blockade

'Oh its the darn castros who stole everything, they can get stuff in the country if they want'

Also really funny poo poo by an expat guy who complained that when he went to the international hospital he had to wire money to spain so clearly its all a conspiracy by the castros to offshore wealth

Btw wonder what happens when companies get caught dealing with cuba? Just the concept of sanctions seems completely alien

Evergreen reminder that the key thing that needs to happen for the blockade to end is the restoration of pre-1959 properties to US citizens or their fair monetary value.

Cuba could conduct an election that is 100% in line with the American state department and the US would still be banned, by law, from lifting the blockade.
