"The poor have little,

Beggars none;

The rich too much

Enough not one".

- Benjamin Franklin

"The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics".

My dear friend: I have followed and will continue to follow your articles with great interest, as they exhibit original and accurate points of view when it comes to geopolitical analysis. I even fully agree with your analysis of VVP, and I agree with you on many aspects of Donald as President. However, I have noticed, on previous occasions, including when Maduro was taken away, a certain disconnect between what you see from outside Latin America and what those of us who live in Latin America see. I see that you consider Chavez, Delcy Rodriguez, Sheinbaum, and, why not, Kirchner, leaders who want the best for their people and oppose the Yankee empire. My dear friend: nothing, absolutely nothing, could be further from the truth. I, and many like me—I'd say 70%—are more than fed up with these leaders who talk about the people, popular struggle, social justice, etc., etc., etc., but behind closed doors are more corrupt, kleptomaniac, and usurious than the owner of BlackRock. Many of us men, who have lived since birth being accused of sexism, and who must, day after day, progress in a society that also takes away what we work for in the name of equality, do not agree with the exaltation that is usually made of the female figures who lead or have led the destinies of our countries, but I dare to summarize it in a single word: USELESS. I really advise you, with all due respect, that before talking about Social Justice, Chavez's struggle, the disgraceful Guevara, Sheinbaum and others, you ask your followers or find out a little more deeply what the majority of Latin Americans think of this political movement and its leaders: you will be surprised by the answer.
