Latin American countries refuse to see Zelenskyy at summit with EU
Latin American countries opposed the participation of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in their summit with the European Union in Brussels in mid-July and removed everything related to Ukraine from the draft declaration of this summit.
You're viewing a single thread.
"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?
Just like Europe isn't interested in LATAM's problems, LATAM isn't interested in Europe's problems. Take that as you will.
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 to help 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?
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 expect any reparations lol. This is more of a "fuck off, why should we help you if you don't help us" kind of deal.
Enjoy being vassals of China in the future then I guess.
Or even worse. China coups Lula in Brazil, plants a puppet who goes Russia on their neighbors.
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.
edit: your reply doubles down on insisting that because it's not the highest priority then the only conclusion is it cannot be a concern. you are the only one claiming that latin america position is that the issue does not need attention. It looks like you can't accept that latin america has it's own priorities and dosen't have to prioritize whatever eu says should be at the top. this is more like we agree to make a joint statement and the first draft you send me is all about you you and you with no mention of me. so i send you another draft deleting everything about you and putting me first second and third place. it's a message.
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
Edit: A regional issue being more pressing for countries in that region does not justify saying a global issue does not need attention
