America’s enemies such as Iran, China and Russia are swarming all over Latin America. Many of their inimical actions are coordinated. Their actions are designed to skirt sanctions, secure crucial resources and win the hearts and minds of the local populations.

This fascinating podcast discusses issues such as:

• Building of soft power through the likes of 80 Iranian cultural centers in Latin America.
• The Chinese recruiting waves of Latin American soldiers for training in China.
• Coordination between the Chinese government and Mexican drug cartels to smuggle drugs such as fentanyl into the United States.
• Iranian military vessels docking on Latin shores.
• Chinese military attaches’ are much more aggressive than attaches’ of other nationalities.
• The ability to convert Chinese-owned (or built) commercial ports to further Chinese military ambitions.
• The perception of Russia by Latin American countries after the invasion of the Ukraine.
