YouTube Description
as posted by the channelKurt Hackbarth of Jacobin Magazine and the “Soberanía” podcast joins Eugene Puryear for a critical end-of-year analysis on Latin America, breaking down the Trump administration’s escalating “Monroe Doctrine on steroids” foreign policy and its targets across the hemisphere.
From the massive U.S. war buildup and acts of “piracy” against Venezuela, to the weaponization of the drug war and “preventative fraud” in Honduras and Argentina, no country is off the list. Hackbarth also dissects the latest DEA corruption scandal exposing former agents arming cartels in Mexico, how it was used to attack President Claudia Sheinbaum, and what it reveals about the farce of the drug war.
Finally, Hackbarth analyzes the massive 600,000-person march in support of Sheinbaum and the Fourth Transformation, the new reforms on water, minimum wage, the 40-hour workweek, and universal healthcare, and how Mexico is navigating direct threats from the Trump administration.
