If there's one thing American intervention in Latin America is responsible for, it's reducing the flow of refugees.
Imagine thinking US intervention somewhere is going to produce FEWER refugees
clean up corruption
I have the sneaking suspicion that this "cleaning" involves JDAMs
Tougher treatment
How far up your vile unwashed arsehole do you have to stick your nationalism addled parochial fucking head for this to seem like an ok thing to publish?
The so called "third world" has had it too easy for too long! They'd better start pulling their weight if they want to continue to have a seat at the table of international partners :)
depends on how tall you are, but if you cant see daylight, keep going.
There's not enough room in hell for these people and eternity isn't long enough for them to suffer.
China might want to pull it's head out of it's ass foreign policy wise now.
Edit: Doesn't have to be proxy war. Make it harder for the US to intervene or something.
Thats not going to happen, China will specifically avoid a proxy war unless the conflict threatens its own borders. So they will stand by and watch all of latin america be run over by the american war machine, and then trade with the fascist dictators that are put in place.
You think them trying to project military power or intervention in south america would be the correct decision for them or even something that they are capable of.
No I don't, I'm in agreement, I think the idea of ideological warfare is a fools errand at this point. Neoliberal capitalism has lost all legitimacy, no one outside the imperial core buys it anymore and even inside the imperial core, the critics voices are growing louder and louder. China needs to focus on building its society and its state power. Leave the ideological pursuits through war to the American empire, it will waste valuable resources shoring up something that will inevitably collapse.
Chinese military support will probably be limited to advisors and maybe training missions for the foreseeable future. There's not really much an external force can do to stop a coup short of stationing troops, and that would likely make China the kind of imperialist hegemon libs think it is.
That said, China's move towards alternative payment systems, reserve currencies, and technological independence means that it will become much harder for America just to cripple an economy with the flip of a switch.
I agree, China's erosion of the current financial order is the smart play
Thanks to Washington "Foreign policy" is pretty much a liberal code word for war.
They have been. The whole Belt And Road Initiative along with pursuing closer ties with Russia and Iran is a whole scheme to outflank American naval hegemony on the oceans.
They seem to be having good relations with Africa which is something the West has never done due to treating them as sub human for centuries.
"White leftists dont want china to develop bolivian productive forces" :agony-yehaw:
This will mean CIA funded and operated death squads in Bolivia. They'll do what they did in Nicaragua. They will deliberately target children as well as schools, clinics and anywhere else connected to the government.
Press will be largely silent on this of course. However when the Bolivian government actually retaliates, every news outlet that bothers reporting on Latin America will be banging on about it. Economic sanctions will follow, terror attacks and death squads will continue and there will be another coup or an election where MAS leaders and coordinators have been systematically murdered or more likely had their kids butchered in front of them.
The paternalistic relationship that the headline insinuates exists for sure. The US is the kind of father figure that puts out lit cigarettes on their kids' arms or beats them bloody with a belt. Kind of like that joke where the two kids at Sunday school are arguing about whether santa exists or not and one says to the other 'don't be stupid. Santa's like the devil. He's not real, it's just your dad.'
Anyone arguing for US involvement in Latin America or anywhere else for that matter is either ignorant or pure evil.
What can Americans do to help stop it? I want to see the pink tide continue.
Solidarity is more than just an expression. Back in the 70's BAE engineers in Scotland refused to repair planes sent there by Pinnochet's air force. They literally sat, rusting in hangars for years. That act of solidarity absolutely saved lives and I am sure there are countless others I can't think of at the moment.
At the very least, when the war drums start, make it very, very loudly known what this evil is.
GOD BRAZILIANS CELEBRATING BIDEN IS DRIVING ME FUCKING NUTS
BOLSONARO LOVES TRUMP AND IT'LL HURT HIS FEELINGS BUT BIDEN WILL DO MORE THAN HURT JUST HIS FUCKING FEELINGS YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORONS
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Buckle up for four years of increased US Imperialist fuckery that the libs will ignore
You're assuming libs think it's a bad thing as well. That was fully posted in /r/neoliberal celebrating the fact that they'll get to overthrow democratically elected governments they don't like again.
The posters of arrr neolib are very much 'quiet part loud' type folk. most libs are just ignorant and would just fully eat a MSM narrative on why a latam pres 'had to' be unseated or whatever.
Democrat’s focus on climate change, human rights and corruption may not please all the region’s leaders
Yes, THATS what we fear, no the helping coups against any remotely leftist goverment part
I despise these people so fucking much. I just want to see them suffer. Please.

Tfw when the nagging thought creeps in that maybe leftists should have voted for Trump as a lesser evil in terms of American imperialism 🤮
Did they seriously post this like its a good thing to be proud of? Fuckin' A
did you read the article or not? it says it's because he'll be tougher on climate change, human rights and corruption. which id be ok with if i trusted them to do those things. or not use those reasons to invade or some shit.

that's all it is used for though
The flamethrowers came in and we burnt the hamlet. Burnt up everything. They had a lot of rice. We opened the bags, just throw it all over the street. Look for tunnels. Killing animals. Killing all the livestock. Guys would carry chemicals that they would put in the well. Poison the water so they couldn’t use it… They killed some more people here. Maybe 12 or 14 or more. Old people and little kids that wouldn’t leave. I guess their grandparents. People that were old in Vietnam couldn’t leave their village.
That's straight up just a list of Casus Belli libs find acceptable.
The problem isn't the listed reasons, it's the "tougher". There isn't a non-harmful way for the US state to be "tougher" on Latin America regardless of stated reasons.
