A Closer Look at U. S. Policy in Latin America

A recent letter to the editor sparked a debate about U. S. policy in Latin America. The writer, Richard R. Allen, took issue with Democratic Congressional Candidate Kyle Rable's assessment of President Trump's policies. Rable had criticized the administration, pointing to higher grocery prices and increased military presence in South America. Allen countered by highlighting the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Maduro regime's ties with Russia, China, and Hezbollah. He argued that these factors justify the U. S. military's increased presence in the region. Allen believes that the U. S. is better off addressing potential threats from Latin America to improve its strategic position. As a candidate for Texas Congressional District 19, Allen expects Rable to have a broader understanding of a U. S. Representative's duties. He believes that a representative should have a vision for the future, a strategic plan to achieve that vision, and the ability to rally public support. Allen quoted Ben Shapiro, saying, "Reality always wins, " to emphasize his point. He argued that Rable is not acknowledging the real threats coming from Latin America. Allen's letter encourages readers to think critically about the issues at hand and the candidates' stances on them. The debate highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of U. S. foreign policy. It also shows how different perspectives can shape the way people view political issues. As the election approaches, voters are encouraged to educate themselves about the candidates' positions and the implications of their policies.
