I hope my annotations saved

I've followed this story since the break in 2018...its quite sad to see it end in this way but more shows still the problems of major US allies. We just watch as human rights violations poor in from Saudi Arabia to maintain our oil relations. Khashoggi's death should stand as a desplay that freedom of the press, even internationally, does not exist.

Okay...this is not very COPO related but there are a lot of large trials going on...including Ghislaine Maxwell (Epstien's former wife charged with dozens of sex crimes) and Elizabith Holmes (former owner and CEO of scam sham Theranos)

Important decolonialist move from a once firm common wealth nation. Will this inspire other crown holdings to split? How will rev for the crown change? What will the longer term impact be?

More news from Cuba showing that free speech is still not given to their citizens.

Its interesting to see how domestic terrorism even impacts the most exclusive schools in the country. I have a few friends who had to evacuate and it sounded pretty scary over the phone.

shocking

This may not seem important, but as tensions between the US and Cuba rise the world series is actually a way to alleviate tension. I am not the largest baseball fan so I dont know how important these players are.

This is a huge step for Cuban activists! In the new law, which will take place in 2022, activists and protesters will no longer be a target of detainment or unlawfull arrest. You would think that Cuba would already have laws protecting this, turns out they didn't.

This is more light hearted...but also important for infrastructure

Interesting view on gay marriage...cant say that I personally agree with the latency of Cuban policy...

This feels like a call back to Carter and Reagan era hostage crisis

This is a little older but I feel as if it still is topical in unraveling Mexico's complex foreign policy

Pretty relevent and shocking article

Cool article that ties into the crypto discussion about Latin America

Ok bare with me...I saw the new James Bond movie and aside from the overt misogny in the earlier movies I really love this character as well as the revamped modernized Bond in this movie. When filming these high budget movies the crew has a few choices...build a set in LA or go to fun and exotic parts of the world supporting their local economies...because of this I felt like this article relating to some of the locations where the movie was shot would be good for a diigo post. If you take a look at Jamacia tourism and on scene filming comprise a hefty chunck of rev for the gov.

I thought this was a little funny how seemingly petty the gov seems to be...also there is a post colonial analysis here showing how their foreign policy relates and interacts with their former colonists
