The 5 Biggest Puppets of the United States in Latin America

The 5 Biggest Puppets of the United States in Latin America

The New York Times published an editorial Monday gloating about the alleged demise of the “left” in Latin America.

Washington continues to try to exploit Latin America.

The editorial lamented the loss of influence of Washington over the region but expressed hope that with the recent electoral setback in a few countries, U.S. elites could reclaim their dominance over the hemisphere.

“The shifting political landscape has opened the door for a new generation of leaders to chart a different course for Latin America. That offers the United States an opportunity to jump-start its relationship with several neighbors that have historically regarded Washington as neglectful, imperial — or both.,” read the Times editorial.

But in order to sink their claws back into Latin America, U.S. elites need the help of domestic leaders to do their bidding.

Here are the five biggest puppets of the United States in Latin America.


1. Enrique Peña Nieto

Mujica called Maduro "crazy", after all. And Luis Almagro (the OAS secretary) criticized Maduro for derailing the democratic process in Venezuela. Isn't it that when someone disagrees with how the Chavista regime is going and criticizes their leadership, they're automatically right-wing US stooges?
