The President and the Russian Swamp
By. Ruben Cortes
Mexico's double standards in the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine will soon get into the same morass as the invasion: Yes, Mexico votes at the UN against Russia's attack. But the president's speech at his morning conferences is artfully pro-Russian.
In the end, the divorce will be evident between the position of the Mexican State in the UN to vote against Russia, and the personal dissimulation of the Chief Executive to avoid defining himself against Russia, in the face of a war that will be long and bloody.
Because it is not only the president: it is also his party, which is the party in government in Mexico and is also a party that supports the governments of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua in the forums of Castrochavism: a group fully subordinated to Russia.
But there will be no way out: Morena and her boss, the president, will get stuck in the morass of those who do not roundly condemn Moscow's aggression. The word game of "we want to maintain good relations with everyone" will end.
Let’s see if he can stand that “repudiate the war”, but at the same time “not punish the invader”, in the face of any of the following scenarios, which would arise in the face of a long and bloody war, with a Russian occupation of Ukraine that could last for years:
1.- Ukraine freezes the Russian advance, and that generates a feeling of international solidarity in the style of the "They will not pass" of the Spanish civil war, which caused the integration of international brigades of volunteers, to join the republicans against the fascists.
Will the little play on words “we want to maintain good relations with everyone” hold up in the face of that? Or that of “repudiating the war”, but at the same time “not punishing the invader”?
two.– Russia occupies Ukraine, installing a puppet regime that will be rejected by 45 million Ukrainians, with civil resistance and guerrilla warfare, in the style of the countries occupied by Hitler in 1939-45.
Will the little play on words “we want to maintain good relations with everyone” hold up in the face of that? Or that of “repudiating the war”, but at the same time “not punishing the invader”?
3.- After occupying Ukraine, Putin does as Hitler in 1937 after taking Czechoslovakia, and follows the edge to retake the countries of Eastern Europe that, from 1945 to 1990, were in the Soviet bloc.
Will the little play on words “we want to maintain good relations with everyone” hold up in the face of that? Or that of “repudiating the war”, but at the same time “not punishing the invader”?
But, above all, will it hold up, while Mexico lives off the thousand 400 million dollars of daily trade with the United States, whose main universal enemy is Russia?
The president and Morena think so.
