Coming from the country with possibly the most unfair election sytem in the world, that regularly entreats with absolute monarchies and genuine autocrats the world around, and holds conferences with Somoza's heirs as part of their electoral campaigns, this statement couldn't possibly be more hollow. Low hanging fruit, but if the Ortegas were "just as bad" as the Somozas, the US would be giving the Ortega government millions of dollars in funds and weapons to kill political opponents
I'm genuinely worried that since the US' bullying didn't work on China, they're gonna come after Latin America next.
"next" ?
It never stopped.
Yes, very true. Maybe I should say "ramp up".
Eh, yeah I guess. Full invasions are not popular anymore, their thing is color revolutions, but maybe they go back to run guns to openly fascists militias and big assassinations.
No country is safe, but Caribbean countries are the most vulnerable. I guess I hope they prefer embargoes instead of bombs.
One of these days one of the tiny countries in the global south is going to push back in a way which cannot be ignored, and it’s going to be a bloodbath. Fucking again. And living in the armpit of Babylon makes me complicit in it.
Complicit of the evil lizards just for living where you live? Nah, that's silly.
Still not sure how to speak up against it without getting smacked down immediately.
How so? Like you mention some of the many coups or invasions and they think that was good akchually?
If I remember correctly, the second round of astroturfed SOSCUBA protests are supposed to begin in a week.
Nothing to worry about coming after Latin America, we already are. Look at the plan they put out for Guatemala to stop immigration. They're using US law enforcement and courts to root out "corruption" (ie anyone the US doesn't like). They're alsol literally giving money to a Brazilian company to grow bananas, you couldn't put this shit in a movie or people would call it too on-the nose.

Bolivia/Chile are obviously going to be necessary USA colonies for rare Earth minerals, especially given the inroads China already made in Africa.
The boys in Langley really need a win. All this losing is giving them Havana syndrome.
