The US government is politically isolated on the world stage. This can be seen in the UN General Assembly votes demanding an end to the USA's embargo of Cuba. Almost all of the world opposes the illegal economic blockade. Ben Norton explains how the CIA has waged a terrorist war on Cuba, Venezuela, and other parts of Latin America for decades.

US gov't supports drug traffickers in Latin America, while threatening Venezuela
The US government has a long history of supporting corrupt, drug-dealing, right-wing oligarchs in Latin America. The Donald Trump administration is threatening to attack Venezuela, accusing leftist President Nicolás Maduro, without any evidence, of leading a cartel, while Marco Rubio defends Colombia's drug-trafficking former leader Álvaro Uribe. Ben Norton documents Washington's imperial hypocrisy.
