#Mexico: @mattyglesias, a short🧵to explain, with apologies for more reading material. Popularity is #AMLO's singular achievement, but it's not founded on substance. I would draw your attention to three buckets: security, economic, political. See here: csis.org/analysis/after…
Security: 5 years into AMLO, we've seen more homicides on his watch than any previous president, including Calderón, the president AMLO derides as presiding over a "war on drugs." The "hugs, not bullets" approach has failed. Ask 30,000+ Mexicans a year, or 100,000+ Americans.

If the reports about talks between the @NicolasMaduro regime and #US officials are to be believed, the @JoeBiden admin is discussing relaxing sanctions on #PDVSA to increase oil production and attempt to isolate #Russia. This would be a strategic blunder and unlikely to work.🧵 1) Most importantly, the optics of Biden choosing #Venezuela's crude over domestic production is politically unpalatable. It would also put the admin in the position of trusting another dictator to follow through when there has been zero track record (e.g. previous negotiations).
