The Venezuelan ambassador to the UN was tweeting out portions of Mark Esper's book and trashing Trump and Biden. He doesn't really understand twitter so you have to jump around a bit, but the Venezuelans haven't forgotten what Trump tried to do.

Guaido being a complete dork who annoyed Trump may have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

Castro and Che started the Cuban Revolution with a group small enough to fit on a boat, and most of them got killed on landing. The difference is that they had popular support to recruit more people; these pendejos were completely on their own.

E: also drat these guys were doing Bay of Pigs all over again in 2020, they learned absolutely nothing

someone should make a 13-hours type movie about these guys, but it's all set-up —— grueling training and boot camp scenes, tearfully saying goodbye to friends and family, the nervous preparation, the anticipation the day before it goes down —— and then they immediately get caught in the last 5 minutes and it cuts to black

I know people make fun of what socialists and leftist look like in person, but I would feel completely fine having a beer or even doing community projects with leftist slobs.

But I would steer well clear of those roided and tattooed up mercs and would never fell comfortable talking with those freaks.

The 10D chess strategy would be for Nicaragua and Venezuela to fire back and refuse to recognize Biden's gov instead backing Trump, so when he gets re-elected he lifts sanctions.

I agree that Colombia has been a historically right-wing country, but this election if anything is saying that Colombians are tired of establishment candidates, that is to say anyone tied with Álvaro Uribe or "Uribismo". Petro and Hernandez are two sides of the same coin in this. Some people are calling Hernandez "the Colombian trump" for being a right-wing outsider.

But that means the 2nd round is going to be 2 outsiders, so perhaps there will be a lot of votes in blank like what happened in Peru and Petro still comes out on top. Or worst case Colombia gets a right wing lunatic for president :ohdear: .

If Hernández is an "outsider" does that mean he has more ties to death squads or less ties to death squads than the mainstream Colombian right.

Probably less tbf, it seems his problem is that he's running as an anti-corruption candidate while being under investigation for corruption.

quote:

Despite Hernandez's anti-corruption rhetoric, he is facing an investigation by the attorney general's office for allegedly intervening in a trash collection tender when he was mayor of Bucaramanga to benefit a company his son had lobbied for.

Gusano is, in the specific, directed at "golden exiles".
But it's fine as a general term for ultra-rightwing latin american communities in Florida, too.
