Argentina on the first glance would look “safe” to me, as South American nations seem in general not very pro-US. Live and learn, I guess. TIL that all South American countries have these extradition agreements.
I feel bad for the arrested; even if their values were not pristine. Punishments for these kind of “offences” seem extremely harsh to me, being grown in a copyright-unaware climate.
- whimsicalism 4y agoI would not trust anywhere in Latin or South America outside of Venezuela or Cuba.
- ankaAr 4y agoWhere is "not very pro-america"?! Maybe not the actual government, but from saving in dollars to travelling we are very pro-american. If we divide the world in pro-america, pro-europe, pro-rusia, pro-china, for us is Europe and America, and very far away the other options. So, bad luck for this guy. Bro, Che Guevara died decades ago...
- CyanBird 4y ago> Where is "not very pro-america"?! Brazil left despises the US after the coup. Bolivian right wants more US help to do another Venezuela gov despises the US Chilean left looks down on the US Argentinian left is not US friendly, at most could be seen as transactional with the US. They really need help from world bank and imf Bolivian left abhors the US, Bolivian right wants US support for a new coup Paraguay is just doing its drug smuggling like they always do Uruguay is in the process of signing a free trade agreement with China while US southern command is trying to avoid it from happening Peruvian left is not friendly to US, Peruvian right has been working with US assistance against Peruvian left for a while to try and kneecap it Ecuador is famously very anti-US and wouldn't deport Assange until he became excessibly annoying to deal with in the embassy Colombia is a US puppet oligarchy. New gov is interesting, but it is still an oligarchy Panama is a defacto neo-colony of the US Puerto Rico is a literal colony of the US Centro América with exception of México is a mishmash of neo-colonies literally using USD as their base currencies or detest the US in some form So yeah...
- untech 4y agoYeah, I was describing a perspective of a russia-born person who never actually travelled to the western hemisphere and whose knowledge of South American countries are formed by ambient osmosis, not active research. I know that no South American country supports the recent russian invasion (and thank god for that), but I was under the (apparently wrong) impression that there were non-trivial factions opposing the US. Ambient propaganda got to me, I guess. Sorry.
- UncleEntity 4y agoI doubt Venezuela would have extradited them but mostly all the countries in the Americas are on friendly terms. Of course there’s your standard disagreements between neighbors but, as far as I know, there’s no outright hostilities going on. Well, outside of some rebels and narco groups. Not like the 80s where the Soviets were stirring up trouble at least.
- ankaAr 4y agoVenezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Honduras?, el salvador.., I don't know if those countries have extradition agreements with usa.
