First, though their election is some time away, it looks like "AMLO," Andrea Merida Lopez Obrador, will be succeeded by someone in the same political vein, former Mexico City governor Claudia Sheinbaum. Read the whole piece for the big picture on the elections, including the issue of dealing with the narcotraficantes in several Mexican states.
Next, as it did nearly 20 years ago thanks to Shrub Bush's stupidity, could Iran be "winning" the Middle East? Juan Cole ponders. He notes Iran's outreach to both Saudi Arabia and Turkey in the wake of Israel's genocide, and their positive responses.
Meanwhile, Nicky Reid, in what's controversial even for CP, asks if Israel still even has a right to exist.
Moving beyond the Middle East, Gregory Elich notes how, 25 years ago, Madeleine Albright sabotaged peace talks vis-a-vis the Kosovans in Yugoslavia, eventually leading to war — one that the U.S. wanted. It's a semi-bright line from there to Ukraine, of course.
And, in the always interesting Roaming Charges, Jeff St. Clair notes that "uncommitted" got even stronger Democratic primary support in Hawaii than in Minnesota. And, that Biden hates Cubans like he hates Palestinians, and more.
And, as I told St. Clair on Twitter, per one of his links? Morphine Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law, Angela Chao, was found drowned in a pond near Austin, in Blanco County, IN A TESLA? Did Elmo Musk whack her? INVESTIGATE ELMO!
