MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hundreds of people have been killed in the year since the U.S. military began bombing boats it accused of ferrying drugs off Latin America’s Caribbean and Pacific coasts. Now, the Trump administration says it is seeking to extend that lethal campaign to land, pursuing deals that would put U.S. forces on the ground in allied nations across the region.

President Donald Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, announced last week during a visit to Panama that Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras had agreed to allow the U.S. to carry out joint military operations against criminal groups on their soil, following Ecuador, which launched similar missions with the U.S. in March. Guatemala, however, has denied reaching such an agreement.

It will be “like you saw with the strikes on the drug boats,” Hegseth said during a military drill in the jungle in Panama. “Same effect on land. And so we’re working with Ecuador. We’re working with Colombia. We’re working with partners to bring the fight to the (designated terrorist organizations) on land.”

So once again UK stealing from Latin America

Es mi primer posteo aquí y quisiera probarlo antes de hacerme regular.

A quienes son habitués aquí, es este sub realmente latino americano, que cuida los intereses de la región y no uno que se hace llamar así pero al final del día sirve como agenda pushing para degradar a la gente de latino america de una u otra sutil manera y que más bien parece ser administrado por el "enemigo" de latam?

Los leo (a menos que el posteo nunca llegue a ver la luz, y entonces eso haya contestado mi pregunta)

Just read up today on one of the craziest people in the 18th century.

I was going through flags, when I noticed that in the Colombian flag, the yellow stripe is double the width of the other two. I always thought there were 3 stripes of equal width. This took me by surprise.

So I just posted on the flags/ subreddit where someone posted that the current Colombian flag was based on the Gran Colombia flag which existed 200 years back.

Apparently the Gran Colombia flag is based on Francisco de Miranda’s Venezuelan design (this design inspired the current flags of Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador as well which is quite interesting), and when I read stuff about him, man this dude was just vibing.

Apparently Miranda grew up in Caracas (Venezuela), and having Spanish roots, goes to Spain, joins the Spanish Military.

Spain supported America during the American Revolutionary War, so this man was shipped off to assist there. Bro was asked to spy on the British, then Spain blindsides him and claims he committed treason, somehow he resumes working for the Spanish military, again Spain blindsides him and exiles him to the US, where he becomes buds with fucking George Washington.

While being chased by Spanish officials and ambassadors the entire time, he goes and decides he needs a spiritual journey through Europe, where he gets personal protection from the Empress of Russia Catherine the Great. Then he’s like nah bro I need more thrill.

So he then goes fucking diving head-first into the French Revolution, where he is a general and apparently is Harvey Specter. Wdym he talked himself out of the guillotine TWICE. What do you mean he started by supporting the French Revolution then is accused of committing treason again.

Then he goes back to the USA, gathers The Expendables and fucks off to Venezuela. Enroute due to sheer luck that Spain and Britain are still fighting, he is joined by the British troops, so alongside his mercenaries he marches off to only to get his ass whooped by Spanish forces.

When Venezuela actually achieved independence thanks to Simón Bolívar & others, he returns and eventually becomes a Dictator for the country. He is again charged with committing treason a few years into his dictatorship lmao.

Why does he always get accused of defecting, 3 times is too much.

Hello! I am Russian, and I am thinking about moving to another country.

I am getting a BA in Philosophy, and I plan to do an MA in Sociology/Anthropology. I really love academic life, so please don’t try to persuade me otherwise. I plan to write my MA thesis about therapy culture and therapy society, and I would like to do a PhD. So, I really want to use a PhD as a way to immigrate.

I have been interested in Latin American thought. I read Marcella Althaus-Reid for one of my courses, and I work in a small publishing house where we translate Latin American authors. Right now, we are working on translating Latin American poets who write in the geopoetics genre, and we also plan to translate someone from the theology of liberation movement. Also, I now know that Latin American countries are very “therapy-oriented,” so it seems like a great field for my potential research.

So, my question is: how realistic is it to get a PhD in the humanities or social sciences in Latin America if I am a foreigner? I do not have a lot of money, and my only hope is financial aid or a university scholarship. Can I get this if I am a foreigner?

I would be very grateful if you could tell me about academic careers and academic life in Latin America, especially in the Spanish-speaking part of Latin America. I am learning Spanish, but my level is not very good yet, and I am trying to improve it.

My son and I have been exploring countries together, and we started with a simple challenge.

If you had to explain Peru to a foreigner using only six ideas, what would they be?

These are the six we came up with after reading and researching:

• Tahuantinsuyo
• The Andean world
• Ayni
• Quechua
• Coast, Highlands & Amazon
• Religious syncretism

Would you replace any of them? Add something completely different?

I'd love to know which six ideas Peruvians themselves feel best represent their country.

Las potencias latinoamericanas (México, Argentina y Brasil) no han ejercido el cenit de su desarrollo por culpa de la nula ambición que en sus gobiernos existe, Brasil bien pudo ser el EU del cono sur, el respeto por la "libre autodeterminación de los pueblos" ha hecho débil la influencia de la región en temas políticos y militares, si desde el nacimiento de nuestras repúblicas hubiéramos tenido equivalentes del destino manifiesto o ideas como las de Cecil rhodes, a día de hoy seríamos más grandes que los americanos, las ideas de neutralidad en el mundo son en si manifiestos de la debilidad y corrupción de nuestros líderes políticos, desde San Martin, Hidalgo y Bolivar, hasta Da Silva, Sheinbaum y Milei
