I am proud of Ecuador! Mexico has been pranking around in the internal politics of Ecuador and it is time that Ecuador says "Ya Basta!" Remember, a few days before the raid, Lopez Obrador, the Mexican President ,made remarks disparaging the election in Ecuador, calling it suspicious, and casting doubt about the legitimacy of Naboa as president. Mexico is harboring convicted Ecuadorian criminals, granting them political asylum, just because they are the leftist friends of the President of Mexico. Ecuador has other reasons to be upset with meddlesome Mexico.Whose cartels are wrecking Ecuador? Mexican among others. Does Ecuador get any assistance from Mexico in containing their criminals. I doubt it seriously. Getting rid of the Mexican "diplomats" may curtail the protection that Mexico gives to Ecuadorian criminals in the future. I do not believe that this was some political stunt by Naboa. I believe it was for the good of the sovereignty of Ecuador. Mexico has bullied us long enough.
Thank youso much!! You are making the Ecuadorian news of yours as important as I remember the news were when I grew up in Denmark back in the 1960's 🤗👍
Do you watch the analysis by Luis of Ecuador? According to his analysis the raid was the direct response of Mexico granting asylum to Glas which meant he would be able to leave to Mexico. No asylum, no raid, and Glas would still be sitting in the Mexican embassy.
Yes that was giving the finger to Ecuador. But I think he would have taken Glas regardless of that. Negotiating died down around the same time as the amnesty announced. Hard to say. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Yes, when AMLO opens his mouth, crap comes out. I don't know about his policies or how good a president he is, but he says things that are completely unnecessary and gets in trouble. This is not the first time it happens. Having said that, it's not up to Ecuador to say that Glas is a criminal and has to be arrested by any means necessary. It is the country considering granting asylum that dictates whether asylum is legitimate. In other words, the country granting asylum determines if there's a crime, not the country issuing the arrest warrant. I think the reason so much condemnation has come against Ecuador is because if this can happen to a relatively neutral country like Mexico, in a relatively non-threatening country like Ecuador, then it can happen to anyone anywhere, unlike, say, what happened in Crimea thousands of miles away from most other countries. I fully agree that internal politics led to the raid, but by golly he did it wrong! You don't invade an embassy. You surround it with cops and wait for the dude to come out. It would have been a defacto house arrest because Mexico would have been unable to remove Glas out of the country, just like Ecuador was unable to remove Assange out of England. I wonder how Ecuadorians would have reacted if England invaded their embassy to remove Assange.

You may want to brush up on your international law. The use of "proportionate force" in an armed conflict does not mean you have to use the same weapon or the same type of ammunition and the same tactics that your enemy used against you. The force must simply be "proportionate" to the level of force necessary to accomplish the mission. So in saving Private Ryan, when the tank blew off the top of the church to take out the sniper that was proportional, even though a Tank was used in response to a rifle. To those who think that Israel should be limited to mirroring the force that was used against them on October 7, I would say those same people would accuse Israel of war crimes if they used the exact manner and type of force that Hamas used on October 7. And with regard to settlements, exactly which international law are they in violation of. When you start a war and lose a war, you often lose territory. Nobody is calling for France, Poland or Russia to pull their settlements out of the land that was confiscated from Germany at the end of World War II.
No, there is no way that Ecuador was right to do this. The utter sanctity of the Embassy has been recognised for decades, because it can be the only way to maintain a civilised connection bet ween nations. Even during the two World Wars, all sides respected Embassies. All we need is for this break down, and utter lawlessness will reign. The men who invaded the Mexican Embassy were not real uniformed Army men, they were a gang of thugs, who attacked the deputy ambassador. And your statement that the Gov in Syria used chemical weapons on its own citizens is a proven lie, a lie of the American invaders. If you cant do any better than this, can I suggest you stay out of making political statements. Talk about the lovely food, the climate, etc etc. But leave the political alone.
Obviously I hit a nerve with you. Not getting into a debate. I did not say it was right. I explained all the potential rationale. Chemical weapon use is clearly documented by many in Syria. No need to respond.
@@KrisandMike Chemical use in Syria was "documented" along with the fake white helmets, by Western interests. It's been shown to be fake a long time ago.
@@KrisandMike Written by American reporter John Kiriakou. "It should be obvious that the NATO-backed regime is the perpetrator of nuclear terrorism yet the Western governments, media and the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency all adopt a shameful ambiguity about the perpetrator. The Western sponsors are covering up for a nuclear terrorist regime in Kiev because the Western governments are fully complicit in the terrorism. John Kiriakou points out that the same playbook was used in Syria. When the Syrian Arab Army was gaining the military upper hand against NATO-sponsored jihadi mercenaries trying to overthrow the Syrian government, the Western media then reported alleged chemical weapons attacks by the Syrian army. That resulted in the United States, Britain, and France launching air strikes against Syria. It turned out that the chemical weapon attacks were false flags conducted by the CIA and MI6-trained proxies."
A great explanation of the events. Thanks Mike!
I hope Naboa can keep the fight against crime going.
Thanks
Thank you for the clarification about that situation. We all appreciate you being on the ground and give honest information.
Thanks
Thank you for a balanced and well-researched explaination of the possible motivations behind the action.
Thanks
Great job Mike! Ignore the negative people.
Thanks 😊

Most excellent review, Mike. I am grateful.
Thanks

When is your Mindo video coming out?
Probably Sunday. Lots and lots of footage to go through and edit.
@@KrisandMike awesome, thanks! We’ll be there in about 3 weeks so this is perfect timing.

Didn’t the now president of Brazil was also accused and imprisoned for corruption and bribery and many more crimes
Not sure. Thanks for watching.

Clearly you have an agenda and we aren't getting into politics here. All the examples I used for breaking international law are all well documented.
