AT THE end of October, new White House national security adviser John Bolton made a keynote speech setting out the panorama of US policy thinking towards Cuba and Latin America.

Bolton blamed these three countries for causing “immense” human suffering and regional instability and fostering “communism” in the region. He called the leaders of those countries “clowns” and said the United States “looks forward to watching” their governments fall.
