I think the "gently caress America" factor is mostly a thing with populist politics, regardless of left or right, at least that's the case here. You go extreme enough the lines between left and right are muddied.

I don't think the "tumblr class" has any influence whatsoever on what's going on in Latin America. Nobody cares about what a bunch of fringe American leftists say or do.

JeffersonClay posted:If things go to poo poo, I'd be more worried about Venezuela invading its neighbors than being invaded. They've got some pretty respectable Russian systems (SU-30, T-72BV1, BMP-3, BuK, ToR, and S-300) and are getting more. They certainly out-class Colombia, which has zero modern fighter aircraft, zero modern heavy SAMa, and zero tanks. I think the only military they don't outmatch on the continent is Brazil, and they definitely hold a quality advantage there too. If I were Colombia i'd be looking for some military aid and quick. In a perverse way I'd like to see how America would be blamed for it Gorau posted:On the one hand, there is a fair bit of difference between invading a group of islands in the rear end end of nowhere, 20,000 miles from the country actually claiming it, compared to invading an immediate neighbor. On the other hand, who would they invade? Colombia? I can imagine the squeals of glee emanating from the American Republican party if a socialist government invaded an American ally. Brazil? Venezuela isn't that dumb (I hope). Curacao or Trinadad? could be interesting. One involves Europe and the other the US again. I guess Guyana is the only option. Except that it involves an unholy jungle war in a totally undeveloped area. Sounds fun! (and expensive) maybe jungle war would be a nice break from all the desert wars.

The inmates are requesting that the authorities transfer 3,000 more inmates into the prison. What the gently caress, how long has it been that way?

fnox posted:There's a new set of sanctions coming up from the US government. They're very interesting in seeing Maduro fall, not just because the country is on the verge of becoming a pariah state, but also because of Tarek El Aisammi's ISIS connection. There's a very real link between Islamic terrorism and the Venezuelan government that is very hard to deny and impossible to combat from within. wait what, who is tarek el asaimmi?
