Summit of the Americas: Lies, lies, and useless lies
By James A. Nollet
"What if they gave a war and nobody came?" That was an anti-Vietnam War slogan from 50–60 years ago. That slogan could be updated and paraphrased for the dog and pony show that was the recently concluded the ninth "Summit of the Americas."
The summit was billed as a summit for all the nations of the Western Hemisphere, but at the outset, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua were expressly not invited. This provoked Mexico not to attend. This was major and disabled the entire summit, because Mexico, not the United States, is the most important nation in the Western Hemisphere, at least for the stated purposes of the summit, because Mexico not only is the second or third largest country by population in the hemisphere, but is also the gateway border country that separates the Latino portion of the hemisphere from the Anglo portion.
By not attending, Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador as much as said, "¡Mi casa no es su casa!"
In addition, President Biden has managed to offend a number of other Latino countries by snubbing them for not being sufficiently "democratic" and other reasons, all of which provoked Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Bolivia also not to attend. And reportedly, Brazilian President Bolsonaro had to be bribed to attend, securing beforehand a promise for a private meeting with Biden, who also had to promise to say nothing that might insult Brazil — for example, talk about how Brazil may be damaging the climate with its activities in the Amazon basin.
Biden launched the summit on Day 1, Wednesday, June 8, with the truest words he has ever said: "I probably should stop right here."
