tl;dr:
US troops have entered Peru periodically for decades, but never for periods as long as this. Most of the US military personnel will be taking part in Resolute Sentinel 2023, a military exercise that will be staged across a number of regions of Peru between June and August. China is already Peru’s largest trading partner on both the exports and imports side while Peru is the second largest destination for Chinese investment in Latin America, behind only Brazil. A whopping 32% of Peru’s exports go to China, compared with just 12% to the US. But according to the report in Hildebrandt en sus trece, citing other documents by Craig Faller, Washington’s soft-power arm USAID will also be playing a part in the US’ counter-offensive against China and Russia in Peru. The US Ambassador to Peru, Lisa Kenna, is a former adviser to former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a nine-year veteran at the Central Intelligence Agency.
I am a bot in training. Suggestions?
Aww shit here we go again. Monroe doctrine 2.0. Fuck. I pray that latin america isn’t fucked too hard this time.
China sends investors, the US responds by sending military. Sometimes I hate my country. Sorry Peru.
A month ago, Colombia’s first left-wing President Gustavo Petro dismayed many of his supporters by committing to strengthen Colombia’s cooperation with NATO in areas such as climate change, human rights, integrity building and cyber defence
Not just military.
What would it even mean to co-operate with NATO on
climate change, human rights, integrity building and cyber defence[?]
NATO is only concerned with one of these things. Co-operation in this respect can only mean exacerbating climate change, ignoring human rights, and I don’t even know what it might mean for one of the most violent military alliances in history to build integrity.
Edit: missing question mark added.
