On the political end of course, but on the possibility of representing the "left" they are more and more alienated from the mass of their voters.
I would think about it as losing popular support and being boycotted
A draw in a war of aggression means the agressor lost, IMO.
Everyone needs to remember that this situation is extremely dangerous. Having Russia give Iran a nuke, while based ofc, is definitely gonna be a huge escalation that could mean intensification in both Ukraine, and Iran, and considering where we are at, it might not be the best of ideas.
Approaching 1 as this war goes on. Still very unlikely today, who knows tomorrow
AFAIK Khamenei is pretty much THE reason Iran has no nukes. There is a very real chance taking him out would actually expedite Iran getting nukes.
Presidente Maduro, en Colombia estamos amarrados por una oligarquía fascista, por favor manda aviones Chengdu y petróleo barato para llevar a cabo la revolución bolivariana en Nuestra América.
Firmado, Niñito
IMO if a real bloc was built with Venezuela and Colombia, that would basically mean Colombia becoming socialist (which is really not plausible right now lmao). That said I would have said it was impossible a couple years ago but right now, its very unlikely but not impossible. Things are a bit better, but could definitely get worse lol.
It would make it hard for the US to coup either country, because as an example, all coup attempts at Venezuela are launched from Colombia.
Funny but not really, Bolivar might have built the Gran Colombia, but Bolivarianism is more about joining all of Central/South America. What is called the Patria Grande or great fatherland, against imperialism.
