@globalsouthworld: “Yesterday, the devil came here…” In September 2006, former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez delivered one of the most remembered speeches at the United Nations General Assembly. Speaking a day after US President George W. Bush addressed the same gathering, Chávez used his time at the podium to sharply criticise US foreign policy and what he described as efforts to shape global politics through military and economic influence. 20 years on, those criticisms are resurfacing in conversations about current events. #Geopolitics #Iran #Venezuela #US #GlobalSouth #MiddleEast #ThrowbackThursday
