Perspectives of the collaboration between Russia and Latin America
Date: None

The changes of the geostrategic relationships put often the focus and the perspective to look at the world. Meanwhile, the reflectors aim to a site, part of the cards of the main potencies move to another one. And this happens to different levels of the global architecture. Also in Latin America.

Being or not in the news, Russia has its own presence in that geographic space vital for the U.S, where also China play to win.

Something Moscow is making profits of. It sees facilities in the future execution of the initiative of the Stripe and the Route of Seda, since the link between Latin America and Asia – Pacific gets strengthened. Could be either for the action of the Chinese-Russian capital or the incapacity of the Trump´s administration to comprehend the principle of the ¨shared profits¨.

The democratic standards and the values of Washington are always used to secure their own interests, and that has no price at all. It is not the same to present with the Monroe Doctrine in the suitcase, than giving to the counterpart a partner treatment, in conditions equality like the ones projected by China and Russia, lately giving privilege to the dialogs to country level. What maybe was not possible in times of the Soviet Union, began to be drawn at the beginning of this century, when the political cycle lived by Latin America favored the reopening of the relations with Moscow… If it is different now the link with Russia continues being solid.

Comprehensible, if we take into account that these Latin American governments are worried for what happens above their heads and even more for a neoliberal economic agenda, in which enters of course the diversification of the markets and the attraction of investments, mainly now for the protectionism of Trump´s has hopeless even the economic elites which historically have said yes to everything Washington orders. It is true, the cooperation of Russia with the region is centered in countries and specific sectors particularly of energy and defense though it is not deniable the volume of foodstuff exports of Latin America towards the Asiatic Nation.

A relationship which keeps on growing and barely a few days ago announced that Russia hopes to construct an investigation center and nuclear technologies in Bolivia. To Russia, is a way of breaking through the isolation imposed by foreign countries. To Latin America, another opportunity to carry on in the construction of a multipolar world despite the disparities. But it is not enough to know what to do. It is necessary to know how. And with this, the referents, the ones which should never be lost. Those which all the intentions are call ¨ours¨.
