Also happening concurrently is civil unrest in Bolivia. The situation in Latin America as it deals with climate change, inequality, ineffective governments, and violence plays out under the shadow of the American Empire who, under the Epstein Class, would very much like to impose it's own vision onto it's own near abroad. As seen in Venezuela, democracy isn't important compared to putting in place subservient regimes. America tried and failed to do the same to the Iranians. But incompetence and callousness from top leaks down to the bottom. If the trends continue, Latin America as much as Anglo America will reach a boiling point when the trajectory can't continue and things reach a breaking point.

And then tens of millions of people will start heading north.

How does climate change affect Bolivia, it's one of my favorite country with unique terrain and rich culture would love to hear more details

Many of MAGA voters in 2024 were young white men who think the world began when they learned to jerk off…

So the MAGA pedes want to lose another war? So surprised...

I don't think so. It's only Trump and his inner circle.
And their chances might be better. Cuba's economy is quite trashed, so I heard. And Russia is literally unable to do something about it. Even if they wanted.

Technically he got elected in 2024 for also saying he wouldn’t start any wars and would make things cheaper. It’s lowkey astounding that most of the ppl who voted for him haven’t realized he’s done the opposite of what he said he would do

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Creepyfaction:
"The Pentagon has spent months positioning the troops and weapons needed for the U.S. to launch a military attack on Cuba — all it needs is a final go-ahead from Donald Trump.
The president has floated an invasion of the island after economic and political pressure failed to topple the Communist government. But the Navy’s built-up presence in the region — the largest in the world outside the Middle East — would allow the U.S. to act immediately."
With the conflict in the Middle East unresolved and the fallout locked in for the foreseeable future, a new conflict in the Caribbean introduces volatility and would be a mistake given the trends that are currently underway as the energy crisis exacerbates economic troubles in both Developed and Developing nations. Propping up a Pro-American regime in a resource poor nation would be a resource sink and one of the factors behind the collapse of the Soviet Union was the unsustainable diverting of resources to client states with diminishing or negative returns. For the Cuban side, the collapse of one order can led to a period of disorder full of uncertainty. But the end of the Communist regime will turn Cuba into a space in which profits can be made, attracting crime and drugs that plague other Latin American nations.
