The weather. Tomorrow, expect a biting cold front. Hmm, how naughty. I wonder what I'll be

wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain

that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise slowly but surely reaching

their peak in the afternoon.

Not in the mood for miserable weather?

Sun Express, non-stop sunshine.

I'm John Dots who is my colleague, Professor Evan Ellis of the U.S. Army War College.

An article in the Financial Times by a leader at the Rockefeller Foundation makes a very general case for Latin America being one of the best, if not the best place to invest your money.

These last months of turmoil because of international trade and other considerations of conflict.

In addition to this, there is a sweeping understanding that Latin America is moving away from the so-called pink tide of these last years,

where left of center, decidedly left of center, presidents were advancing Lula de Silva, Gustavo

Petro, and Bogota. And at one time, even Nicholas Maduro was considered left of center.

There are other examples, but in any event, the article speaks to the fact that there's a move

away from the pink tide, if not profoundly to the right, at least to

the center. And Javier Malay, of course, is mentioned, but also Lula de Silva, who is no longer

sympathico with Maduro and Petro, which was not the case in the early weeks after his election.

In addition, Claudia Scheinbaum has proved very deft in negotiating with the Trump administration

as well as dealing with the politics of Mexico, not something that was presumed when she became

the protege of Amlo, who was decidedly comfortable on the left.

Professor, what do you make of the generality that the pink tide is ebbing?

That's enough of a metaphor.
