¿Por qué Álex Saab se declararía culpable en EE. UU.?
El periodista Roberto Deniz analiza las razones detrás de este posible giro judicial y las implicaciones que podría tener para Nicolás Maduro, Delcy Rodríguez y la cúpula del régimen venezolano.

Kurt Weyland (@UTGovernment) argues that although extraregional powers, like China, play a significant role sustaining regimes in Cuba and Nicaragua, over time the role is less than one would suspect.
Rather than political, China’s stake in Latin America is largely economic. Due to poor economic conditions in Cuba and Nicaragua, there is not much incentive for engagement.
