The Western coalition bloc fears that Russian influence will grow not only in India or China, but also in Latin American states. Local leaders are using Russian aid and political and legal models to strengthen their government and their countries. The Global South is literally slipping out of Western hands. The liberal media in the United States and Europe talk about this phenomenon.
The conflict in Ukraine has diverted the attention of observers from Moscow’s foreign policy in Latin America. But this fact should not lead observers to believe that Russia has backed down or reduced its activity in the region. On the contrary, the Russian Federation has continued to strengthen its ties with many states on the continent, including Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela, while seeking opportunities in other Latin American countries.
Moreover, Latin American politics seem to enjoy high patronage in Moscow. All relations and cooperation with Havana are controlled at the top, in the Kremlin, writes Bloomberg.
For example, the Cuban leaders, constantly suffering from poor economic performance, trying to find a compromise with the development for the future and the continuity of the policies of the Castro brothers, chose a different model for their government in an era without revolutionary ideas: imitation of Russia.
Representatives of Cuban and Russian elites are working together to create a concept for such transformation and reform. This hardly means that Havana will give up its political power, on the contrary, it will rather serve to strengthen it. At least that’s what the West thinks.
Of course, despite everything, Havana will try even more to imitate the Russian Federation, which for Cuba remains a country with a market economy, from which one can take an example, and not with the United States. Thus, the creation of a center of economic transformation and Cuba’s apparent decision to initiate economic reforms under the auspices of Russia will lead to Moscow’s hegemony over the island.
Thus, while all of Washington’s attention is on Ukraine and the confrontation with Moscow, the Russian Federation is pursuing an even more active expansionist policy in the “backyard” of the West, in Latin America. . Of course, this provokes the irritation and outrage of the White House, which seemed to have barely noticed the approaching danger. However, as all the same media point out, the West no longer has the strength or the capacity to resist the intensification of the activities of the Russian Federation in the region.
