Who died and made US GOD?
American Government picks and chooses who are good and bad, like they think they're God. Human Rights issues, LOL look at America involved in any military conflicts. I Love US military people and not necessarily the missions.💙
Maybe so-called democracies should be a little more welcoming but maybe that would help democracy spread. Unless it's not really about democracy and it's simply about allowing us to have American companies reap all of their natural resources? IDK these are conversations Americans have been having for Generations, we are not stupid!🇺🇲
Cuckoo's nest summit haha
Democracy and autocracy are two sides of the same coin. Democracy allow elites to have strong influence over the economy and policies and autocracy is the leadership which make up the elite. Usa also behaves like an imperialistic power and bully smaller nations.
Yeah President Biden stop oppressing the people.
Everyone hates Biden hope nobody shows up just like call Campaign rallies
The threat to bomb Mexico has probably not been forgotten.
America is now empty shell country, every Latin America countries shd invade America
Democracy is the biggest failure in the world, America has no human rights, look at wat happen to the blacks
European/whites have list their social and moral currency across the world. Welcome to the new world were no one listens to you Europeans/whites. And you will be avoided at all cost so you don’t nuke arrest shoot or chain us up
Let's invade America
All should be involved
American slogan should be Let's make schools great again
There are many many generatoonal human right violations are happening in the USA. They shouldn't be participating in this summit either.
European/whites have lost their moral and social standings in the world. Welcome to the new world were no listens to the threats of Europeans/whites
Its beyond disgusting to cut off countries for they way they run their country. If this is fake news its appalling IGNORTS. Everyone knows u still communicate. And maybe make a difference.
However. Some countries beg for handouts. Who should honor democracy. Their for self sustainably as a country can be acquired. Yet. The criminality from dumb down is over baring.
Biden is wrong again… SHOCKING! Worst mistake America made since Trump!
There might be a shift towards China 🇨🇳
people showed up because at that time, the U.S had a genuine BIG STICK policy (like invasion of Panama). Not only was there actual force, but they also had big bucks invested in south america. Today, south america has been completely abandoned from a diplomatic point of view, so Venezuela, Bolivia and all the paid leaders of these caribbean island chains feel like they can afford to say NO to the U.S. This is just the result of weak american leadership in the south.
America is preaching other countries about humanity but they don't have humanity in own country
USA is the bad guy.
Much like Putin.
End the evil financial war on Cuba. Grow up Joe, do the right thing.
Boycott LA is way too dangerous. Bogota would be safer.
They should.
US – stop suppressing the rights of your people Cuba
Also the US – suppressing the rights of woman, how we vote in elections, mandating vaccines…(just to name a few).
🙄
It is tough being the richest country right next to some of the poorest countries.
Until America deals with its right wing extremism. All countries should boycott! It's time to get rid of the trash!
Even if some of those countries have questionable leaders…
YOU MUST ALL BE AT THE TABLE THAT IS HOW DIPLOMACY WORKS. SIT AROUND THE TABLE TOGETHER
Work. Together. Civility. Diplomacy.
COMMMUNIST COUNTRIES THAT SURPESS THEIRT PEOPLE!!
They seem pretty upset about not being invited.
Nobody respects, or even acknowledges this fraudulent administration.
Total hypocrisy.
The U.S. has never had an issue meeting with leaders of nations that are far more oppressive than Cuba or Venezuela.
China, Saudi Arabia, Russia until February.
There's a good reason why Republican run states are the worst.
The USA is the "Bad Guy" in the America's. The United States invaded and overthrown so many of there democracys to enstate US Friendly Dictatorships
End the Embargo with Cuba!
Cuba and Venezuela should not be invited!
I am predicting that eventually the US will be isolated together with Israel.
Who does America represents being such a human rights violator?
America is a dictatorship they just put suger on top.
Human rights in US : where children get slaughtered in their class
These summits are really not important. It is more important the Organization of American States that it is permantely working and doing something.
Begging someone to come for your party !!! lol. What a fate!!!
The usa has other things to fix , problems to be solved i think we should take one step at time , meaning fix one problem at a time , not do anything else before one thing is done , becuase thats the the way they play us and get nothing done.
Solve the humanitarian crisis going here in America…. do something on children dying in school
but but America is the greatest democratic country in the world….lol nottt
Sooo… Hawks are screaming that they don’t want Venezuela, but… we don’t have enough oil. Sounds quite logical, as usual.
So Ed Snowden, Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning, can attest to US human rights… and the 1.5 million dead Americans from covid and 22 shooting victims from elementary school in Texas , isn’t genocide against own citizens a human rights abuse problem.? Why the US international criminal court justices when they want to investigate America war crimes in Afghanistan. Not human rights abuse?
As the world careens toward autocracies, and President Biden is fighting both internal and external threats to our own democracy, he may not want to be seen "working with" a dictator. Just spit balling here.
Biden makes more enemies then any president. bring trump back
Well then, don't exclude them, and then win them over to democracy.
One way to make sure everybody agrees with us is to exclude anybody that doesn't.
Nobody wants to hear the Bafoon lying, at least when he can articulate a full sentence! What a joke
