Big speculation on there being a convention after the shit that went down today.
Trumpkins raided and conquered the US Capitol Building.
All the Congresscritters had to flee.
Leopoldo Lopez stopped being relevant a few years ago and they still treat him as some important dude in my country. So yeah, you will see more of him.
In the short term, the financial witchery that holds up the US and European economies collapses , China becomes the new leading world power.
Long term, idk, probably ww3.
If only a leader of a socialist revolution wrote about how finance capital leads to war across the globe. :back-to-me-shining:
Everything is so intertwined that that would collapse Chinese industry too.
They have the actual factories though, and have spent decades securing resources and ports throughout Asia, Africa and the Indian ocean. That's why the US is so hostile to the Belt and Road initiative.
Yes but they rely on global consumption, they are already in an overproduction glut even as the Chinese working class is transitioning into service industry.
i mean, if the U.S. is collapsing they could probably have an easier time transitioning to a fully planned economy
This transition fiction is overhauled. It isn't as it was, cause the global capitalist empire changed.
Of course Guadio can't be president of Venezuela. He's moving on to the US.
Anyone on the US Capitol Hill want to weigh in? Rubio? Romney? Harris? Pelosi?
No? Nothing?
Guess we're good.
Because, at least speaking for Germany, our military is almost incapable of operating. Like last I remembered our Navy had almost no ships operational and everything else is in similar albeit not quite as bad a state.
Let's say it is extremely unlikely, because we are just way too dependent on each other, especially when it comes to one specific commodity: natural gas.
Armchair general take: Although I do think Russia might be capable of taking the EU on militarily, not NATO of course.But yeah, in the end nobody stands to gain anything from it. I think this fear mongering of a Russian invasion basically really intensified around the time when Russia moved into Crimea, and of course the libs ate it up.
Today it seems to me that the rabid anti-Russia sentiment has thankfully died down a bit over the past 2 years.
the opposition boycotted last elections in december so the goverment won overwhelmingly. It's like 90% pro-government now
so aside from maybe some local offices they basically have no political power anymore?
