Mexico has cut relations with Ecuador, after Ecuador violated international law and invaded Mexico's embassy to detain leftist ex VP Jorge Glas, who is persecuted for being an anti-imperialist Correísta

Ecuador is run by a right-wing US citizen, the son of a billionaire oligarch

Argentina’s risible president Javier Milei stands to obedience in fancy dress alongside US soldier and flag.
