Bernie Sanders Has No Idea About Latin America

If you're curious about Bernie Sander's views of Latin America, here's the answer: he has no idea, even about very basic stuff.

"De nuevo, me está haciendo preguntas sobre el impacto en América Central sobre lo que, honestamente, debería saber más. Todo lo que puedo decir es que tenemos que lidiar con los narcotraficantes en este país", admitió el aspirante a la nominación demócrata. 
Sus respuestas sobre la situación en países sudamericanos fueron en la misma línea. Prefirió no comentar sobre la crisis que encaran gobiernos como los de Venezuela, donde una aguda crisis económica ha alentado manifestaciones y saqueos, y Brasil, cuya presidenta, Dilma Rousseff, fue sacada temporalmente de su cargo en medio de un juicio político.

OK, so you're running for president and you're distracted, but you've been in Congress a really long time. Plus, back in 1985 Sanders had a lengthy interview about Latin American politics, concluding with this:

Sanders expressed dismay that many U.S. citizens were "intellectually lazy" and did not try to learn more about a government demonized by their own.

That lament now includes him, I guess.

One thing for sure, and that is that Bernie has advocated an anti interventionist philosophy for LA for a long time....at least he knows how destructive that can be as opposed to HRC.....

I don't disagree. But come on, he has no idea about any of these topics?
