🇺🇸🇭🇳 Granados Ceja argues Washington’s push in Honduras runs against its own stated interests, because at its core it isn’t about migration or economics — it’s about power. The Florida “gusano lobby” drives much of the pressure, openly talking about seizing Venezuelan oil and shaping U.S. policy across the region. But the deeper motive, he argues, is that the U.S. knows it has lost relative global hegemony to China and is retreating to its old sphere of influence to reassert control. Honduras becomes the test case: if Washington can tilt or delegitimize this election, it can replicate the strategy in larger countries like Brazil or Mexico — just as it tried with the failed Guaidó experiment in Venezuela. Labeling left governments as “narco-traffickers” is part of that playbook. @ryangrim | @GranadosCeja
