Jovanni Reyes enlisted in the United States Army in 1993 and deployed to the Balkans in 1996 as part of NATO’s first-ever military intervention which culminated in the dismemberment of Yugoslavia into seven statelets. By 2002, he was no longer moved by the pretexts and false narratives cheerleading for war, and when the invasion of Iraq began in 2003, he decided he could not support or continue in the military and ended his enlistment in 2007. He holds an M.S. in International Relations and is mostly interested in geopolitics and it’s relations to the Global South, colonialism, Latin America, and Pluripolarism. His writings has been published in Truthout, Common Dreams, and Claridad: El Periódico de la Nación Puertorriqueña. Email him at
