By Carlos Alberto Montaner Cuba has become a problem for the left everywhere. They don’t know what to do with the island. The European Parliament (EP), the largest on the planet, voted a resolution condemning the government of engineer Miguel Díaz-Canel for the repression exercised against the youth of “Patria y Vida” on July 11. […]
By Carlos Alberto Montaner The story didn’t begin 20 years ago, on September 11, 2001, but much earlier. But on that day, there was an attack on the United States that Washington could not leave unpunished. From then on, George W. Bush made some good decisions and some bad ones. Intelligence agencies were quick to […]
By Carlos Alberto Montaner The Pew Research Center is dedicated to explaining what American society really believes or perceives. It is a very serious entity. It’s not Democrat, Republican, or independent. It has said that the majority of the nation (54%) thinks that the US had to leave Afghanistan, but at the same time 42% […]
By Carlos Alberto Montaner It was the best possible example of serendipity, that word that means doing something weird, but with very positive consequences. It all started half a century ago. In 1971, facing harassment by speculators, Richard Nixon put an end to the gold standard by creating the “dollar standard,” without knowing exactly what […]
By Carlos Alberto Montaner “It was not a peace agreement. It was a surrender,” Husain Haqqani, a key man at the Hudson Institute for Central and South Asia, said when he examined the Doha agreements signed by the government of Donald Trump.

By Carlos Alberto Montaner If I were a Cuban communist, faced with the events of July 11, I would inevitably ask myself this question: why do communism and fascism, its first cousin, not work and painstakingly destroy societies that embrace (or are imposed) that model of government? Regardless of personal interests, or barbaric testicular reason, […]
By Carlos Alberto Montaner There’s a skeleton in the closet here. Chile was the great model of Latin American development. It was the bespectacled guy, the know-it-all who had all the answers. It seemed that the country was heading steadily towards the First World. Suddenly, faced with a minimal increase in the cost of public […]
By Carlos Alberto Montaner Five Cuban generals had died in 10 days: Agustín Peña Porres, Marcelo Verdecia Perdomo, Manuel Eduardo Lastres Pacheco, Rubén Martínez Puente and the last (for now) Armando Choy Rodríguez, 87. Of them, only Agustín Peña Porres, 57, was active. He commanded the country’s Ejército de Oriente (Eastern Army). There is a […]
by Max Boot (The Washington Post) In the real world, President Biden is governing from the center-left with the support of the majority of the country. His biggest legislative achievement — the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan — is so popular that some Republicans are claiming credit for it even after voting against it. In the right-wing world, however, […]
By Carlos Alberto Montaner Lawyer Sergei Magnitsky was tortured and killed by the Russian political police in 2009. He had denounced tax fraud for more than 200 million dollars in his native country. They killed him or left him to die in his cell. It’s the same. In 2012, Democrat Senator Ben Cardin, with the […]
