On the one hand, we're seeing the consent manufactury kick into overdrive and a lot of state department goblins seem to be absolutely itching for a fresh round of meddling. Cuba as a client state would open the door to all manner of renewed imperial nightmares in the carribean and South America.
On the other hand, it feels like most people's reception of the situation outside of dedicated chuds and Floridians (but I repeat myself) is muted, and I've already seen a few small anti-intervention protests pop up. After two decades of war, with a domestic civil society whose coherency is hanging by a thread and a global presence that is increasingly challenged, I feel like a flubbed regime change effort there would be the true beginning of the end for the U.S.' empire.
If this is a dumb-dumb take, please don't hesitate to tell me so.
US intervention in Latin America is a neverending process. You only hear about Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, etc. because they're the big projects that make headlines. The US is usually a lot more subtle about it. They'll send reps over to talk to opposition parties, put in sanctions over damn near everything, and make us go through ridiculous loops to get the basic necessities.
Wasn't long ago when a Republican congressman married the daughter of our former dictator, and she was still a public official at the time too. They'll keep doing their thing, but just how effective they continue to be depends on a lot.
Even though people here have the Pfizer or nothing attitude, many have also taken the Russian vaccine out of desperation. Small signs like this show that the grip is still strong, but the cracks are beginning to show.
Real medieval vassalage hours, blech.
Do they have meet and greets between American Republicans and the families of former/current dictators? What the fuck
Argentina is making SputnikV now
