SchoonerLatin American countries refuse to see Zelenskyy at summit with EU
It’s interesting to see the perspective of non-Western/global south audiences compared to a Western/global north audience.
“The countries of Central and Latin America “threw cold water” on the EU’s efforts to unite the continent to support Ukraine and call for colonial reparations in a counter-proposal to the draft declaration of the upcoming EU summit.”
So on one hand they are not interested in standing up against the Russian attempt to colonize Ukraine but on the other hand they are very interested about colonial reparations?
So… are they pro colonization or anti colonization?
CALIGVLAJust like Europe isn’t interested in LATAM’s problems, LATAM isn’t interested in Europe’s problems. Take that as you will.
Well… that’s convenient.
So then the colonization of Latin America was a Latin American problem and not an European one.
I’m pretty sure LATAM doesn’t expects any reparations lol. This is more of a “fuck off, why should we help you if you don’t help us” kind of deal.
Just like the sounds of my neighbor beating the shit of his wife isn’t any of my concern. I have absolutely no moral obligation in helping people in need.
I could say the same of Europe for the last, I dunno, century maybe. All those brutal US backed dictatorships and where were they?
Please tell me how Ukraine should suffer because of Pinochet?
I think it’s about showing that they want to be treated as an equal partner. Since eu made it all about their priorities they countered by replacing european concerns with latin american concerns in their proposal.
TIL Ukrainian lives are only a European concern
you seem to be presenting a false dichotomy. or you conflate high priorities with concerns.
if it’s not intentional, hopefully today you’ll learn that latin america prioritizing latin american issues does not mean that other issues are of no concern. for latin america there are more pressing issues.
The false dichotomy? Id argue that’s you not believing someone can be concerned about an issue that affects everyone (global issue) regardless of location… but okay
RaphaelSouth America has suffered with American coups for many decades now, none of us want to take part on America’s Proxy Wars.
South America in favor of war crimes, gotcha.
Just like Europe has been in favour of war crimes in South America for centuries. First directly and then indirectly through supporting the US.
Nice whataboutism you got there.
There is such a thing as “the good fight”. Either you stand behind Ukraine in their fight for survival, or behind russia in their demonstration of what happens when a country is collectively falling apart due to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.
I mean clearly there is a third option - being a knob and claiming your always right no matter what the facts say
Flying SquidDid I miss something? Did America force Russia to invade Ukraine?
