SexyBlindfold posted:Yeah folks just call him El Boris (or Boris Jackson, since people originally found it hard to tell him apart from Giorgio Jackson, who was also a former student leader who got into congress at the same time as Boric). I'm referring to one Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, I don't want to hastily misread a headline as 'Boris gains massive victory' and spoil my mood. Not Boric's fault, but I would prefer him to be called 'Gabriel' to avoid this.

proletariando posted:I doubt this is a surprise the Russians just threw on Cuba and Venezuela, they've probably talked about this before. It seems like Russia's overextending too much though, they're already in Ukraine and Tajikistan never mind a deployment on the other side of the planet. If we're talking about naval bases, they have had one in Tartus, Syria forever now. And I suppose that would be a good selling point to some governments, given how much Russia helped Assad... (still it would be overextending, but then Russia needs overseas bases to be a serious global sea power which Russia is destined to be :peterthegreatcry:

There's no one definition of Latin America in use. The only logical definition would be the Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries in Central and South America, but sometimes it's used for all of South America and the Caribbean. Why yes, Rihanna is a Latin American  See also how Middle East extends from Morocco to Pakistan...

UN could lease or sell the mandate to the highest bidding Caribbean cruise company and then use that income for humanitarian aid. Labadee's already peaceful, might as well expand from there.

It's ironic how so many are carrying Brazilian flags when they clearly oppose order and progress.

CameronisGod posted:LOL it's funny to see that Brasil has a stronger and more competent Democracy than the United States. US is a total banana republic. Lula was already sworn in, Bolsonaro in Florida, and the crowd still took over the parliament, the president's palace and the supreme court. They got that far because the government couldn't trust the police and military. That is not what a competent and strong democracy looks like.

Josef bugman posted:Wait, pardon? From what I saw they absolutely were not met with "a hail of bullets". Do you mean some of them were fired upon, because that's true. But to say they were resisted that much doesn't seem to tally with the events as depicted. Maybe Ashli Babbit just tripped over and broke her neck?

V. Illych L. posted:because of the line "I've heard of people accusing the US of being behind every coup and uprising in South America, but I've never heard of people saying the US was the one responsible for stopping every coup and uprising before." in the quoted post, which i took to mean that my point wanted clarification - this uprising could only have turned into a coup if the US were willing to get seriously behind it, which the US had very good reasons not to do. the point being, the brazilian military hardliners would find themselves very isolated without US support - i.e., the US has an effective veto on this sort of thing. Not just USA, but EU too. A new lucrative trade agreement is currently in the works and scrapping that just to own the libs would be really bad for Brazilian business life. Brazilian economy did well under Lula's previous terms too.

SlothfulCobra posted:I think earlier Maduro already wore out a lot of the prospective goodwill of China and Russia by taking money for loans that they haven't really been paying off, and there's been plain ol' investments that haven't worked out because Venezuela hasn't really increased their oil production like China wanted. It's also hard to see how Venezuela potentially expanding their oil production would help Russia. Destabilization in the western hemisphere on the other hand might help, but it's just hard to see this having even as much effect as the Hamas attack on global stability.

Notoriously, US forces besieged the Holy See's embassy in Panama where Noriega was hiding, playing rock music including Van Halen from loudspeakers for 10 days before he surrendered.
