I don’t care about Maduro, as far as I’m concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It’s a collective hangover, a horrible one.
It’s 2016 all over again. It’s seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it’s more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.
This is far from improving, and we know it.
The big problem with this is who is next? the US always had the power to do this but now that its actually doing it with bogus madeup reasoning… Is Canada next? Greenland? Mexico? Costa Rica?
Noem is already meming with Greenland draped in a US flag and Trump said Gistavo Petro has to watch his ass
No love lost for Maduro, but then none for Trump, Putin and on and on… What’ a shit show the US is.
A war in Greenland doesn’t even make logistical sense. You would be fighting the only people that actually know how to deal with the cold.
All anyone would need to do is blow up the generators and it would be war over, because as far as I know the US military has not trained it’s soldiers and how to survive having all their blood frozen. They were expecting the next major conflict to be in the middle East, not inside the Arctic circle.
Give it a few years and it’ll be temperate there.
People I know who went to Afghanistan said the froze the balls off at night.
That"s what the military bases in Alaska are for.
All heads of state who are either turning a blind eye or openly celebrating this should bear this in mind: if they do the slightest thing to annoy the United States, they are next, and no one will help them.
They turned a blind eye in Gaza. That was the death of any pretext of international law which still existed after the “”“War on Terror”“”.
But who will help the USA…
Cuba and/or Colombia
Colombia is more vulnerable but it hasn’t developed a lobby like Venezuela and Cuba have.
Sheinbaum in Mexico and Lula in Brazil are later in the itinerary but they’re going to be more difficult. Especially Brazil now that Bolsonaro is in jail.
Argentina - done.
Venezuela - in progress.
Cuba, Colombia, Haiti.
Then Greenland gets militarized but not fully invaded. Mexico gets police actioned in the rural areas but not fully invaded.
Brazil is the prize.
The rainforests would be toxic wastelands within a few years.
Everybody knew the USA could do this. And everybody knows they can’t keep it for long.
Canada and Greenland are more like last. You don’t go that big that fast.
