American tourists are specifically shit in many countries.

In Medellin (Colombia) the usual areas for partying and beers has been terribly gentrified, to the point that prices are in dollars and it's the only place in the country where people offer coke in the streets openly. Anywhere else it is shunned. Prostitution, including child prostitution is rampant in Medellin thanks to the gringos.

Americans love coke culture, they go to the Pablo Escobar tours, which locals hate. In opposition to Europeans and other latinoamericans who prefer tours that shows the social development of the poor areas that were previously hit by drug trafficking.

I think a weakened NATO and a weakened Russia as a consequence of this war is pretty much the best scenario for China in the long term so I don't mind Russia being cringe every now and then.

As a Colombian nerd the idea of a new Gran Colombia is very fringe in the mainstream, and honestly not very useful in my opinion. Bolivarianism is much more useful, but kinda hard to put it in the mainstream because it is associated with Chavismo and FARC-EP.

But Colombia improving relations with Venezuela and China is a very good step in the right direction. And signing the BRI yesterday is based as hell.

We'll see what happens on the elections next year. But it is more likely than not that we get a right wing government, but we'll see.

Would the ally be Pakistan? Cause Pakistan is under comprador hands right now after the coup.

This actually is like two US allies fighting.
