Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack The Cuba humanitarian crisis shames the world. Yet not even their allies or nearest neighbours are helping in any meaningful way. Joining me to discuss this is Nicholas Dale Leal, a Mexico-based Colombian journalist with El País. We also have some potentially good news in Colombia, some eye-raising news about the CIA operating in Mexico in the lead up to the World Cup.
