Fuck the USA

Except Cuba and Venezuela, who will soon be the USA, and ground zero for resisting the MAGA regime

What makes you think he won’t proceed to throw the “illegals” out of these new American states?

HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca on 15 May 00:37 next collapse

He’d have to kill them. The blowback would be harder if he tried to get them out. Every south American country would go to war.

Venezuela has a population of Vietnam around the start of the Vietnam War, is 20% larger than Afghanistan, and largely mountain and jungle. America is incapable of invading and occupying them.

This is a deeply concerning stark warning of what’s to come for other nations nearby

That’s the best strategy for the US to leave them alone, I’m surprised they haven’t tried it sooner

Anyway, death to America

Strange that Russia isn’t helping Cuba.

Isn’t the US still blockading oil in to Cuba?

silence7@slrpnk.net on 15 May 04:29 collapse

Yes. And it has a total blockade on oil shipments

ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca on 15 May 04:20 next collapse

Same with Canada.

Russia is bogged down in their war of conquest; they don’t have the ability to do anything else. See also: Syria and Armenia.

If that doesnt spike up use of renewables what is?

If you have solar powered homes and solar powered vehicles who needs oil anyways?
