Hours after the U.S. invaded Venezuela to seize President Nicolás Maduro, President Trump sent a warning to the governments of Mexico, Cuba and Colombia that their countries could be next.
Why it matters: The stunning attack on Caracas follows Trump’s recent assertion of his own version of the Monroe Doctrine, and the president’s comments that the U.S is not afraid to put “boots on the ground” in the country suggest that the administration won’t hesitate to have an ongoing presence in the region.
Well since more than a third of them can’t be arsed to get out and vote even once every four years, much less for state and local elections or primaries… I’d say a whole hell of a lot to get to an armed insurrection. Which has much less a chance than a non-violent revolution, no matter how many people on lemmy harp on about armed conflict being the only possible solution.
