If that's the end goal they are surely not taking the bait.

I think this is just more akin to trying to create an economic blockade, while in the meantime creating right wing governments in the region that support an invasion.

If a right wing government wins in Colombia or Brazil, I think it's war.

I've seen someone mention that this is comparable to the build up to the invasion of Grenada, so not very large.

When the gringos start suffering under the boomerang returning home, I hope they don't expect sympathy from the rest of the world.

Good, don't give the gusanos an inch

Everything is part of the AI bubble

Everything is bubble

everything’s broken enough that everyone’s just like “when do the air strikes start”

Mostly because Venezuela can't do shit offensively. We can only see the empire do this and wait

That does it then, the coup is done.

~~He hasn't proposed that (yet)~~ but two things are very interesting:

1. He is implicitly lumping China with the rest of the global north powers and in so doing, criticizing them for their inaction in the climate crisis and also not having a larger role in financing green projects in the global south.
2. He dogwhistles communism so much, its so great lol.

WAIT 3. He just said Stalin's revolution should've gone global? WHAT

4. There it is, armed intervention. I fucking love him so much.

Apparently the Armenians have fully cucked and accepted the Zangezur corridor, which will be named "Trump corridor 🤮". This is a sextuple whammy against BRICS in which:

1. Iran is now locked from Russia by land from Armenia.
2. The Caspian sea can now house NATO assests
3. Turkey now has a link to mainland Azerbaiyan, increasing its influence in the region dramatically.
4. Azerbaiyan can now sign the Abraham accords, and it's likely to sign into NATO.
5. China can get locked out of the BRI through the corridor.
6. The CSTO has been highly neutered.

Bad news all around, on that front.

Katie Halper interviews John Mearshimer on "Israel"

I think the most important takeaway I see is the reminder of how from 1933 to 1941, the Nazis were basically roaming free in Europe. They had managed to annex Austria and Czechoslovakia, destroy Poland and Luxemburg, set up puppet regimes in France, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands, and start the labor camps.

It was only until they made the fatal mistake of invading the Soviet Union, that they ended up stopped and Hitler offed himself, after 27 million Soviet deaths, of course.

It's a grim reminder that we are in it for the long haul. We are talking of 8 years of almost complete Nazi hegemony in the region and passiveness from the Western powers, as well as the strategic retreat of the USSR.

It's also a reminder that expansionist fascist powers will never be satisfied. The Zionists might very well end up annexing Gaza and the West Bank, it will not satiate them. They will go for Lebanon and Syria next. When they are done, Jordan and Egypt are on the chopping block. Then Saudi Arabia. They might build the NaZionist empire from the Nile to the Euphrates and still might be hungry for more.

But it's also a reminder that they WILL be stopped. All imperial expansionist projects eventually die. Greece, Rome, Spain, France, England, they all had imperial might, and later died. The US is in its death rattle. The idology of the cancer cell will kill its host eventually.

It's painful to live in a time where we see in plain sight how colonization works. Especially from the colonized south. But it's important to remember that history is written in years, if not decades. And we need to have a political project that thinks in that time frame, instead of the now and immediate.

Death to Israel, Death to America.

Finally can create an account to say:

FFS people Colombia didn't agree or surrender to Trump's terms on deportation. Petro wanted deportees to be treated humanly and not be chained like animals.

He got it. And didn't get any sanctions.

How is this a loss for Petro or Colombia? Or a win for Trump?
