These rains look to me like one of the effects of a wet bubble. Wet bubbles are high concentrations of water vapor in an area usually between the tropics, which either result in extremely hot and humid days, or a completely unexpected downpour in an area that maybe should not experience rain. Due to this climate crisis, we are seeing this even outside of the tropics now. A long time ago, it use to be only really an equatorial phenomenon. This is bad.
Cloud seeding would have dumped most of the moisture on the inland experimental farms and the Empty Quarter. Instead the storm held its downpour until it reached the Gulf farther north where all the cities are.
The problem is that the Latin Americans often use cases of corruption and what not to take down political opposition. And since they are all horribly corrupt countries anyway it isn't hard to find the cases. So what to do when a corrup leader accuses the corrupt opposition of corruption and wants to imprison them ? It is most likely nothing more than solidifying power

The far-left leaders in Latin America are mad that a right-leaning government is in power in Ecuador, and the far-left former leaders of Ecuador are being tried for their crimes. That's what it comes down to.
Simple. This hypocrite Ecuador did this too by keeping Assange in their embassy in UK despite UK authorities demanding Ecuador to surrender Assange. Years of negotiations passed by between Ecuador and UK, Ecuador surrendered Assange.
You wait until he gets out is expelled or break relations with the nation that owns the embassy. That is the normal response. That happened with Assage in the Ecuadorean embassy.

As a Brazilian I don’t think we are. Honduras and Venezuela are very far left and want to show support to the Mexican president who finance the left wing parties on the region. On a political level, there is obviously condemnation because of international law. But the population of South America would rather see the corrupt politicians in jail and appreciate Ecuador heavy hand in criminality.
Why are you making this about governments political standings? Ecuador's president simply violated international law and is being held accountable for it. South America doesn't like dictators also.
@@Winter_ECU Because he claimed that he was seeking asylum so Mexico had to help him. Idk him stealing money is true or not if that's the case i agree he should go to jail but you cant invade another country's embassy.

3:18 *IMPORTANT CORRECTION!* Belgium does not have mayor, they have bourgmestres (burgmeister in Dutch). Mayors tends to be directly elected while Bourgmestres tend to be nominated by the elected parliament of their locality).
It's burgemeester... And neither language actually makes the distinction. English only uses mayor, Dutch only uses burgemeester, whether they're directly elected or not.
I love how media stresses how apparently the most important thing in every country's election is their stance on Ukraine. As if Croatia somehow is gonna decide how the war goes, and Crotians need to consider that before they consider everything else that actually effects them when they vote.
I live in Quito, and my initial reaction to the raid was that international law and vienna convention has to be abided by, otherwise whats the point. But after speaking with locals and looking into the level of damage these corrupt politicans have done to the country for decades, I think its absolutely right. The Ecuadorian and wider South America problem stems from these serious high level corrupt politicians - the country needs to flush them out. Crime, cartels and economic security can only be fixed when these men are in prison, not pulling strings from inside embassies. There is a referendum this weekend, with Noboa expecting to take a huge victory from Ecuadorian voters for finally getting something done.
Ecuador is filled with venezuelans, and Maduro calls them traitors... many of them became Ecuadorian citysims working hard alongside Ecuadorians, and yes others just came to rob and kill people.. i sad the embassy never move a finger for the venezuelans
Completely unreasonable comparison. Not a single bullet was fired, nobody was hurt. This man was corrupting the country from the safety of the embassy. Ecuador absolutely has to get these men in prison to fix the country. It's top down. Mexican and Venezuelan governments are famously corrupt and aren't happy with Ecuador finally getting a grip
It’s interesting how these countries are incensed at the violation of a diplomatic mission, but the world did nothing when Israel destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus..
As terrible as the National Conservatism Conference row was, I find that it was ultimately resolved and the conference was allowed to happen. The temporary cancelation has been correctly condemned (and I say this as someone who disagrees with the conference itself) I am, however, worried that this was not the case for the Palestine Congress in Berlin where the violation of freedom of speech feels more egregious due to the banning of entry to Germany of multiple prominent individuals and the fact that nothing has been done to correct it. Should you get a chance to cover what happened and any ongoing efforts to resolve it, I would be very thankful
TLDR is shit, all these so called "fair and unbiased" news sites like roca and tldr are full of false balance. for example in gaza, when israel is so obviously committing one-sided massacre, tldr tries to present a "balanced perspective". no. trying to apply balance on an unbalanced situation only benefits the oppressor

1. only dictatorships cut ties with Ecuador. We still don't know the motives for Ecuador's acions. 2. It wasn't an embassy in Syria. It was a posing as one, but actually kept terrorists who planned 10/7 attack. If you plan atrocities in a place in other countries, don't be surprised that other countries defend themselves.
Tbf, Israel never admitted doing it, nor have the Iranians provided any proof it was them. I know it probably was, but in Ecuador case there isn't even plausible deniability.
Ecuador raided an embassy in its own territory to arrest its own former vice president, when it had tons of other options to pursue. Israel killed several senior military and para-military figures in the consulate of an aggressive enemy state, in another enemy state from which operations against Israel's security are regularly carried out. Any relevant differences here that might evoke different reactions? Or just that you think the Israeli magic Juice got everyone to do our evil bidding?
I sometimes only listen to these videos in the background i didn't think i had heard this one but then the wombat story at the end jogged my memory i only ever seem to remember useless facts xD
Let us all remember that Julian Assange sought and received refuge in the Ecuador embassy in England. He stayed there for a very long time, preventing UK police from arresting him. In other words, he was being shielded from the law by Ecuador. This same Ecuador that broke in to the Mexican embassy to prevent them from doing the same. Just let that sink in, and then ask yourself how Ecuador might have responded if the UK had done to Ecuador’s embassy as it did to the Mexican embassy, using the same excuse of maintaining law. Ecuador is opening a can of worms that it may grow to regret in a very short time.
That is different, Assange wasn sentenced of a crime, he was politically persecuted, because of the many secrets he revealed, glass was sentenced for two more crimes, and this happened in December, Mexico didn't care and said no when Ecuador asked to arrest that guy...And later they try to fly him to Mexico to escape....
Ok so first you go on and on about the flood in Arabia which killed 18 people, and then you make a brief mention of the flood in Pakistan and Afghanistan which killed over 100. I guess rich people are worth more attention.
There’s images of the embassy standing unharmed while the actual target of the paramilitary building of the internationally recognized terrorist organization of the IRGC was destroyed as the legitimate target it is. Is the attacked embassy in the room with us, Peter?
Yup! No country has ever done that ever. Definitely not Britain. Not like they invaded 99% of the world unprovoked, right? (It's actually 90% but still insane)
Venezuela cuts ties with Equador? That’s all the moral compasss and context I need! I’m intentionally making this comment before watching a second of the video because Venezuela right now couldn’t cut ties with North Korea and I would suddenly be in support of North Korea. I get that the title is click bait (something TLDR explicitly says it doesn’t do. But you use the country annexing a piece of scarecrow populated jungle from Guyana in a solely economical move as some kind of example of moral high ground. Shame of you TLDR. To paraphrase so part of Star Wars “you were suppose to destroy the shiiit, not join them!!!!!!
Venezuela doesn't really have any moral high ground to stand on but yeah what Ecuador did was a terrible precedent and they could just have arrested upon exit
"convicted criminal, and fugitive". Is a bit questionable way of talking about this considering the charges are highly questionable. Seems blatantly aimed to destroy political opponents.
so stealing 3000k million is ok? Money that was supposed to be used to rebuild a city destroyed by an earthquake... money that was a tax for the people...
Doesn’t matter. Embassy and consulates are still sovereign ground of nation states, and that should be respected. If there’s a criminal hiding in one. then maybe idk use diplomacy?
You know you are stupid when even Russia didn't attack an embassy after holding several of their top wanted people. Heck, I think even Taliban didn't disturb the embassy in their country when taking over the government last year.
@@blackwatertv7018 That last comment is dumb, you expect that to work? ☠️ Yeah, it's reasonable to be against Ecuador, but why would Ecuador wait for the corrupt politician to escape and leave the country? México has help fugitives escape, so of course Ecuador wouldn't take chances. Honestly if let's Say in Argentina, Cristina or Massa want to escape by an embassy, i wouldn't blame the current president to "raid" said embassy and arrest them. Yes, it's wrong and at the same time it's understandable.
How about that, Venezuela respecting the rules based international order more than the USA? Targeting consulates should always lead to this kind of responce.
@@Toonrick12 "Do as I say, not as I do" it's shocking how many folks keep falling into that hypocrisy trap when criticizing the actions of other nations when turning a blind eye to the issues of their homeland. The USA has major shortcomings but there really isn't an alternative (currently) that doesn't doom the planet sooner.
I really find the reasoning for raiding the embassy really hard to understand given the obvious, and precedented, other means the same 'goal' could have been achieved.... it would have hurt diplomatic relations between Ecuador and Mexico, but really no other 3rd party nation, but the idea to raid the embassy was just dumb and is now causing significant backlash from 3rd party countries in the region.... The 'other' more obvious (and precedented) option would be to have given notice that all accredited Mexico Embassy diplomats were persona non grata and for Ecuador to close the embassy (the embassy itself is NOT sovereign territory of the nation using it, it always remains sovereign territory of the host nation, so the host nation CAN require it to move to a different location or close fully and have no embassy for the affected nationat all) and then arrest the former president as he left / stayed when it was no longer an embassy (he would not be an accredited mexican diplomat so whilst they could all leave unmolested after being made personna non grata the former Ecuadorian president could not). Ie there was a clear and obvious path to take, and they didn't which is beyond dumb. With regard to parallels between Assange and the Ecuadorian embassy in London, the UK government could have done the same, but didn't because the harm to diplomatic relations would have been worse long-term than tolerating it, waiting to see is assange tried to leave, or as was the case eventually, Ecuador asking the Met Police to take him away (ie they entered at the Ecuadorian governments request).
There has been dialog since December.. they said no, more than two-time ecuador ask Mexico for Glass they said no... the final straw was when they were preparing a plane to fly him to Mexico
You probably don't know that Glas was going to be the number 11 to escape to Mexico, that's right Mexico has aided and abetted the escape of 10 other corrupt correistas to Mexico, that night they asked for landing permits for two mexican air forced C-130 transport planes to remove the mexican embassador, they refuesed to tell who was going to board the plane and Ecuador refused the landing and ordered the raide suspecting Glas was going to escape. Two weeks later Carlos Polit (one of his friends in crime) was found guilty of corruption in a court in Miami
It is ironic that the regional mayor in question has been suspended from the Belgian socialist party due to his strong ties to the Turkish extreme right wing organisation "grey wolves".
Didn't Ecuador abuse the same privilege to protect Julian Assange in their embassy for a long time? I guess it is not fair play when it applies to you.
Every time you guys say “Why Latin American countries…” you mean the usual leftist axis of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Honduras, Cuba (perennially captive) + sometimes Mexico and Brazil (depending on the elected president), who make block meaningless statements. 😂
Also most of the foreign immigrants from Asia, Africa and middle east come from ecuador since they don’t ask for travel visa or anything of the sort! Like if latin America needs more migrants
To add on that story of Brussels: The Brussels region doesn't have districts but communes. Conservative leaders have said everything about cancel culture (from the (far)-left) Although the mayor was a member of the socialist party he was ousted after it was found out he had connections with the far-right Turkish wolfs. Interesting that Orban then talks about oppression while a conservative congres in Budapest didn't allow a Flemish news outlet because they are 'too woke'.
Why no one has condemned the embassy for hiding a criminal in the first place? Did embassies became a safe haven for criminals? Cause if so, I have some questions. For instance, if mexican cartel boss would go to some embassy and request an asylum, would he be able to stay in the embassy? If a russian war criminal would go to an iranian embassy in moscow and ask for asylum there, would he be able to do so? Where do we draw the line who can apply for asylum? I saw example of Julian Assange being used in some comments but this is a completely different case. Because in his case, while Assange did "break the law" he uncovered the government agencies breaking the law, so in his case asylum could be justified, but in this case? For me, it sends very bad signals to the world tbh. Especially that a person like a president is not a common thief and the damage he did or could do to a country and it's people could be massive.
before you assert your value judgement, who is to decide which president is politically the good guy or bad guy? criminal charge can be used politically, like how biden levarage the justice system against Trump. Also the former president shelter Julian Assange, while the imcumbent exchange Assange for IMF deal and prosecuted the former president hiding in Embassy.
While you are covering the encroachment on the freedom of assembly on the right wing political convention. Should you not also cover the much harder prohibition of the free palestine convention that that was supposed to happen in Berlin last weekend?? Or will TLDR follow the new york times memo on how to cover palestine related news?
What both Equador and the Brussel police have done is what's expected from criminal thugs, not civilized countries. I'm afraid that unfair and criminal behavior get more tolerated because the actions are judged through political eyes
because israel didn't violate the law. Iran violated the law, because they used the consulate militarily, which is against international law. As the consulate was in fact a military sight, Israel was allowed to attack it under international law.
@pikapi6993 I think both have to a diffrenet degree but this is specifically about the bombing of the Iranian embassy in Syria. Also Israel has lately broken a myriad of international laws such as the Geneva convention in part because the world hegemonic power is supporting is so it acts with impunity.

why is TLDR discussing the police raid on the British conservative party but not the raid on the Palestinian protest rally in Germany. both are attacks on free speech
To be fair, they are quite Britcentric.
The far-left leaders in Latin America are mad that a right-leaning government is in power in Ecuador, and the far-left former leaders of Ecuador are being tried for their crimes. That's what it comes down to.
Serious question: if you are not supposed to break in and stuff, how do you get the criminal out?
You wait for them to leave of their own volition or be expelled by the Government whom the Embassy represents.
Simple. This hypocrite Ecuador did this too by keeping Assange in their embassy in UK despite UK authorities demanding Ecuador to surrender Assange. Years of negotiations passed by between Ecuador and UK, Ecuador surrendered Assange.
@@S3Cs4uN8The guy was on suicidal watch, if they expected anything it would be his overdosed dead body
You wait until he gets out is expelled or break relations with the nation that owns the embassy. That is the normal response. That happened with Assage in the Ecuadorean embassy.
Great news update 👍
How come the sacrosanct qualities of embassies were ignored when Israeli attacked the Iranian embassy?
Might have something to do with Iran being an Islamofascist regime that sponsors terror organizations across the Middle East, but you know that's just a wild guess idk
1) Because no one respects Iran
2) Iran retaliated against Israel militarily
They didn’t hit the Iranian embassy, even if they did that’s not illegal to do so when it’s used for military purposes
Why are you spreading misinformation? There’s images of the embassy standing unharmed while the actual target of the paramilitary building of the internationally recognized terrorist organization of the IRGC was destroyed as the legitimate target it is.
People correcting that it was the consulate and not the embassy but the same rules still apply. It was like an attack on Iranian soil.
Atleast it wasnt bombed
As a Brazilian I don’t think we are. Honduras and Venezuela are very far left and want to show support to the Mexican president who finance the left wing parties on the region. On a political level, there is obviously condemnation because of international law. But the population of South America would rather see the corrupt politicians in jail and appreciate Ecuador heavy hand in criminality.
that's also what I thought. I can't be sad about criminals being arrested.
Why are you making this about governments political standings? Ecuador's president simply violated international law and is being held accountable for it. South America doesn't like dictators also.
@@eliascolatoosman why was a convicted criminal allowed into the Mexican embassy?
@@Winter_ECU Because he claimed that he was seeking asylum so Mexico had to help him. Idk him stealing money is true or not if that's the case i agree he should go to jail but you cant invade another country's embassy.
Venezuela is social democratic. I don't know what Honduras is, but it's not socialism. There's only five socialist countries, Cuba, China, Laos, Vietnam, and DPRK. We will have to wait and see with Burkina Faso and the other Sahel nations.

3:18 *IMPORTANT CORRECTION!* Belgium does not have mayor, they have bourgmestres (burgmeister in Dutch). Mayors tends to be directly elected while Bourgmestres tend to be nominated by the elected parliament of their locality).

i mean its not that important of a correction.
It's burgemeester... And neither language actually makes the distinction. English only uses mayor, Dutch only uses burgemeester, whether they're directly elected or not.

Anyone have any extra context on the convention shutdown? Because from this video, it sounds pretty indefensible.
I love how media stresses how apparently the most important thing in every country's election is their stance on Ukraine. As if Croatia somehow is gonna decide how the war goes, and Crotians need to consider that before they consider everything else that actually effects them when they vote.
Am I mistaken in thinking Ecuador was allowing the US military to use the runways? A bold move from Ecuador.
I live in Quito, and my initial reaction to the raid was that international law and vienna convention has to be abided by, otherwise whats the point. But after speaking with locals and looking into the level of damage these corrupt politicans have done to the country for decades, I think its absolutely right. The Ecuadorian and wider South America problem stems from these serious high level corrupt politicians - the country needs to flush them out. Crime, cartels and economic security can only be fixed when these men are in prison, not pulling strings from inside embassies. There is a referendum this weekend, with Noboa expecting to take a huge victory from Ecuadorian voters for finally getting something done.
Ecuador dose have a point in arresting a criminal. Also if South American actually care about they would cut off Venezuela after they threatened war
Ecuador is filled with venezuelans, and Maduro calls them traitors... many of them became Ecuadorian citysims working hard alongside Ecuadorians, and yes others just came to rob and kill people.. i sad the embassy never move a finger for the venezuelans
Germany also stopped a anti J'enocide rally
Although I do not agree on what Ecuador has done Embassies should not be allowed to be hiding place of politicians with criminal cases.
Who does Ecuador think they are to get away with attacking diplomatic buildings? Israel?
Completely unreasonable comparison. Not a single bullet was fired, nobody was hurt. This man was corrupting the country from the safety of the embassy. Ecuador absolutely has to get these men in prison to fix the country. It's top down. Mexican and Venezuelan governments are famously corrupt and aren't happy with Ecuador finally getting a grip
why was a convicted criminal allowed into the Mexican embassy?
It’s interesting how these countries are incensed at the violation of a diplomatic mission, but the world did nothing when Israel destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus..
Meanwhile Israel: 😰
As terrible as the National Conservatism Conference row was, I find that it was ultimately resolved and the conference was allowed to happen. The temporary cancelation has been correctly condemned (and I say this as someone who disagrees with the conference itself) I am, however, worried that this was not the case for the Palestine Congress in Berlin where the violation of freedom of speech feels more egregious due to the banning of entry to Germany of multiple prominent individuals and the fact that nothing has been done to correct it. Should you get a chance to cover what happened and any ongoing efforts to resolve it, I would be very thankful
Weird how TLDR is not reporting the German raid on the Palestine conference in Berlin and the banning of Yanis Varoufakis
TLDR is shit, all these so called "fair and unbiased" news sites like roca and tldr are full of false balance. for example in gaza, when israel is so obviously committing one-sided massacre, tldr tries to present a "balanced perspective". no. trying to apply balance on an unbalanced situation only benefits the oppressor
We don’t tolerate islamism here.
You have a choice to be incarcerated or adhere to the law.
I am in Germany, I didn't hear of it. And now that I heard it, I must say I personally don't consider it news. Yanis Varoufakis is super cringe and not smart at all. I'm not surprised he's in trouble in Germany.
@@pikapi6993 yanis varoufakis isn't cringe or stupid, even if he was, that's not grounds to fascistically shut down an event he was speaking at
@@pikapi6993 You didn‘t hear about it, because we have dozens of islamist attempts of such „conferences“ that get sacked by the police.

*Ecuador raids embassy: countries condemn them, withdraw ambassadors, and got the International Court involved
*Israel blows up Iranian embassy: ...
1. only dictatorships cut ties with Ecuador. We still don't know the motives for Ecuador's acions.
2. It wasn't an embassy in Syria. It was a posing as one, but actually kept terrorists who planned 10/7 attack. If you plan atrocities in a place in other countries, don't be surprised that other countries defend themselves.
Tbf, Israel never admitted doing it, nor have the Iranians provided any proof it was them. I know it probably was, but in Ecuador case there isn't even plausible deniability.
At least Iran attacked back, Ecuador would be f***ed if Mexico attacked
…gets rocketed. Poorly.
Ecuador raided an embassy in its own territory to arrest its own former vice president, when it had tons of other options to pursue. Israel killed several senior military and para-military figures in the consulate of an aggressive enemy state, in another enemy state from which operations against Israel's security are regularly carried out. Any relevant differences here that might evoke different reactions? Or just that you think the Israeli magic Juice got everyone to do our evil bidding?
More Wombat content please 👏
I sometimes only listen to these videos in the background i didn't think i had heard this one but then the wombat story at the end jogged my memory i only ever seem to remember useless facts xD
Let us all remember that Julian Assange sought and received refuge in the Ecuador embassy in England. He stayed there for a very long time, preventing UK police from arresting him. In other words, he was being shielded from the law by Ecuador. This same Ecuador that broke in to the Mexican embassy to prevent them from doing the same. Just let that sink in, and then ask yourself how Ecuador might have responded if the UK had done to Ecuador’s embassy as it did to the Mexican embassy, using the same excuse of maintaining law. Ecuador is opening a can of worms that it may grow to regret in a very short time.
That is different, Assange wasn sentenced of a crime, he was politically persecuted, because of the many secrets he revealed, glass was sentenced for two more crimes, and this happened in December, Mexico didn't care and said no when Ecuador asked to arrest that guy...And later they try to fly him to Mexico to escape....
@@Winter_ECU In other words, "This doesn't count because I agree with what he did."
Ok so first you go on and on about the flood in Arabia which killed 18 people, and then you make a brief mention of the flood in Pakistan and Afghanistan which killed over 100.
I guess rich people are worth more attention.
Friendship ended with MUDASIR

Setting aside Honduras, the other countries retaliating against Ecuador are a joke: Nicaragua, Venezuela LOL
Attacking an embassy is never ok unless you are Israel.
Not the embassy was attacked but the house behind it
It's not an embassy. It's only a consulate.
There’s images of the embassy standing unharmed while the actual target of the paramilitary building of the internationally recognized terrorist organization of the IRGC was destroyed as the legitimate target it is. Is the attacked embassy in the room with us, Peter?
@@RyzenShanks So you think it is okay to bomb consulates?
nobody cares about Ecuador except Nicaragua and Venezuela. Two countries that nobody likes. This topic is going to leave the news very quickly.
Completely brought this on themselves. Ecuador was in a sympathetic situation but they’ve thrown all that sympathy away
Denmark’s Notre dam 💔
Only communist and dictatorial countries like Nicaragua, Honduras and Venezuela are closing relations. What a loss 😂😂😂
Bruh, Venezuela must be smoking something strong when they literally try to invade a neighboring country
Yup! No country has ever done that ever. Definitely not Britain. Not like they invaded 99% of the world unprovoked, right? (It's actually 90% but still insane)
I think those guys at the end were playing backgammon
Venezuela cuts ties with Equador? That’s all the moral compasss and context I need!
I’m intentionally making this comment before watching a second of the video because Venezuela right now couldn’t cut ties with North Korea and I would suddenly be in support of North Korea.
I get that the title is click bait (something TLDR explicitly says it doesn’t do. But you use the country annexing a piece of scarecrow populated jungle from Guyana in a solely economical move as some kind of example of moral high ground. Shame of you TLDR. To paraphrase so part of Star Wars “you were suppose to destroy the shiiit, not join them!!!!!!
Yeah, not like any other country has done that ever. Remind me, how did the US expand west? By claiming half of Mexico's territory? Oh.
I dodged a bullet leaving Dubai a day before that mess 😭
If Nicaragua and Venezuela sre condemning Ecuador than Ecaudor must be on the right side of history.
The example of Bolsonaro was unfortunate.
There are clear political persecutions in place and the rule of law is being thrown out of the window
Maduro is a funny little fella.
Venezuela doesn't really have any moral high ground to stand on but yeah what Ecuador did was a terrible precedent and they could just have arrested upon exit
"convicted criminal, and fugitive". Is a bit questionable way of talking about this considering the charges are highly questionable. Seems blatantly aimed to destroy political opponents.
so stealing 3000k million is ok?
Money that was supposed to be used to rebuild a city destroyed by an earthquake...
money that was a tax for the people...
Maybe countries should stop using places meant for diplomacy to harbor fugitives.
Doesn’t matter. Embassy and consulates are still sovereign ground of nation states, and that should be respected. If there’s a criminal hiding in one. then maybe idk use diplomacy?
Not our fault that Ecuador think they can do what Israel does and get away with it
You know you are stupid when even Russia didn't attack an embassy after holding several of their top wanted people.
Heck, I think even Taliban didn't disturb the embassy in their country when taking over the government last year.
@@blackwatertv7018 That last comment is dumb, you expect that to work? ☠️
Yeah, it's reasonable to be against Ecuador, but why would Ecuador wait for the corrupt politician to escape and leave the country? México has help fugitives escape, so of course Ecuador wouldn't take chances.
Honestly if let's Say in Argentina, Cristina or Massa want to escape by an embassy, i wouldn't blame the current president to "raid" said embassy and arrest them. Yes, it's wrong and at the same time it's understandable.
@@idk-ye7urWhat if Trump was convicted and he escaped to the Mexican embassy?
How about that, Venezuela respecting the rules based international order more than the USA? Targeting consulates should always lead to this kind of responce.
The US hasn’t even said anything about this lol 😆
On the one hand, I agree with you as an American. On the other, your country is one to talk, considering your saber rattling with your neighbor.
Oh please, Venezuela is currently threatening to annex nearly all of Guyana. The "America bad" crowd is getting more hypocritical by the minute.
@@Toonrick12 "Do as I say, not as I do" it's shocking how many folks keep falling into that hypocrisy trap when criticizing the actions of other nations when turning a blind eye to the issues of their homeland.
The USA has major shortcomings but there really isn't an alternative (currently) that doesn't doom the planet sooner.
Nothing says respecting international order like wanting to annex half of your neighbor.
If I had known wombats were so cute I would not have cheered so hard for Skywalker
I really find the reasoning for raiding the embassy really hard to understand given the obvious, and precedented, other means the same 'goal' could have been achieved.... it would have hurt diplomatic relations between Ecuador and Mexico, but really no other 3rd party nation, but the idea to raid the embassy was just dumb and is now causing significant backlash from 3rd party countries in the region....
The 'other' more obvious (and precedented) option would be to have given notice that all accredited Mexico Embassy diplomats were persona non grata and for Ecuador to close the embassy (the embassy itself is NOT sovereign territory of the nation using it, it always remains sovereign territory of the host nation, so the host nation CAN require it to move to a different location or close fully and have no embassy for the affected nationat all) and then arrest the former president as he left / stayed when it was no longer an embassy (he would not be an accredited mexican diplomat so whilst they could all leave unmolested after being made personna non grata the former Ecuadorian president could not).
Ie there was a clear and obvious path to take, and they didn't which is beyond dumb.
With regard to parallels between Assange and the Ecuadorian embassy in London, the UK government could have done the same, but didn't because the harm to diplomatic relations would have been worse long-term than tolerating it, waiting to see is assange tried to leave, or as was the case eventually, Ecuador asking the Met Police to take him away (ie they entered at the Ecuadorian governments request).
There has been dialog since December.. they said no, more than two-time ecuador ask Mexico for Glass they said no... the final straw was when they were preparing a plane to fly him to Mexico
You probably don't know that Glas was going to be the number 11 to escape to Mexico, that's right Mexico has aided and abetted the escape of 10 other corrupt correistas to Mexico, that night they asked for landing permits for two mexican air forced C-130 transport planes to remove the mexican embassador, they refuesed to tell who was going to board the plane and Ecuador refused the landing and ordered the raide suspecting Glas was going to escape. Two weeks later Carlos Polit (one of his friends in crime) was found guilty of corruption in a court in Miami
HDZ isn't really conservative, not under Plenković.
I really don't how you can call a cartel stooge leftist.
why was a convicted criminal allowed into the Mexican embassy?
It is ironic that the regional mayor in question has been suspended from the Belgian socialist party due to his strong ties to the Turkish extreme right wing organisation "grey wolves".

Didn't Ecuador abuse the same privilege to protect Julian Assange in their embassy for a long time? I guess it is not fair play when it applies to you.
the way he says nicaragua is hilarious
VIVA MEXICO
Every time you guys say “Why Latin American countries…” you mean the usual leftist axis of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Honduras, Cuba (perennially captive) + sometimes Mexico and Brazil (depending on the elected president), who make block meaningless statements. 😂
Also most of the foreign immigrants from Asia, Africa and middle east come from ecuador since they don’t ask for travel visa or anything of the sort! Like if latin America needs more migrants
Venezuela is joke. Broke and useless, who needs their diplomatic ties. All these Gang/Cartel controlled countries hating on Ecuador.
To add on that story of Brussels:
The Brussels region doesn't have districts but communes.
Conservative leaders have said everything about cancel culture (from the (far)-left)
Although the mayor was a member of the socialist party he was ousted after it was found out he had connections with the far-right Turkish wolfs.
Interesting that Orban then talks about oppression while a conservative congres in Budapest didn't allow a Flemish news outlet because they are 'too woke'.
Ecuadoreans are happy that Venezuelans leave their country
Why no one has condemned the embassy for hiding a criminal in the first place? Did embassies became a safe haven for criminals? Cause if so, I have some questions.
For instance, if mexican cartel boss would go to some embassy and request an asylum, would he be able to stay in the embassy?
If a russian war criminal would go to an iranian embassy in moscow and ask for asylum there, would he be able to do so?
Where do we draw the line who can apply for asylum?
I saw example of Julian Assange being used in some comments but this is a completely different case. Because in his case, while Assange did "break the law" he uncovered the government agencies breaking the law, so in his case asylum could be justified, but in this case?
For me, it sends very bad signals to the world tbh. Especially that a person like a president is not a common thief and the damage he did or could do to a country and it's people could be massive.
before you assert your value judgement, who is to decide which president is politically the good guy or bad guy? criminal charge can be used politically, like how biden levarage the justice system against Trump. Also the former president shelter Julian Assange, while the imcumbent exchange Assange for IMF deal and prosecuted the former president hiding in Embassy.
Tool Long Didn't Read is a mediocre excuse.
While you are covering the encroachment on the freedom of assembly on the right wing political convention. Should you not also cover the much harder prohibition of the free palestine convention that that was supposed to happen in Berlin last weekend?? Or will TLDR follow the new york times memo on how to cover palestine related news?

How come Israel can violate this law but no one else can?
because israel didn't violate the law. Iran violated the law, because they used the consulate militarily, which is against international law. As the consulate was in fact a military sight, Israel was allowed to attack it under international law.
@pikapi6993 I think both have to a diffrenet degree but this is specifically about the bombing of the Iranian embassy in Syria. Also Israel has lately broken a myriad of international laws such as the Geneva convention in part because the world hegemonic power is supporting is so it acts with impunity.
