Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Things are going to get difficult now that the US is militarizing the Caribbean. They are even doing invasion drills in Puerto Rico to simulate an invasion of Venezuela. If they really invade Venezuela, they are going to face another Vietnam. I have plenty of confidence that our Venezuelan comrades will defeat them just as our comrades in Vietnam did.

Also, the good thing out of this is that it is increasingly more difficult for puppets in the region to please their population with social democracies now that the gluttonous empire is asking for more and more concessions. If things keep heading this way, we might see the dictatorships of the last century but in a weaker state which will allow for revolutions to take place. Another alternative is that the puppets will fully break with the US and their source of funding will break which will allow more radical options within a country to bloom.

This is all my speculation from what I can see from this side of my country. Slowly but surely the conditions for a better world are appearing. Socialism is inevitable.

About US's allies, I wouldn't be as optimistic as you. It seems to me that the West tolerates the far right (fascism) far more than they do actual socialism. So there's a chance that the West would devolves into a fascists hellhole in response to the decline.

Regarding US allies in the region, they are all in an all time low acceptance rate. As an example, we have Peru where the president is an all time low 2%. Argentina's Milei is heading to that route as well and plenty of other allies.

It is becoming increasing clear that they are unpopular with the people. That could lead to plenty of organization opportunities.
