If this didn’t put the world on notice and make them suddenly more defensive, nothing will.
I’m afraid nothing will, at least not for Europe. Maybe countries from other parts of the world get it, but Europe seems bound and determined to underestimate the threat we pose. Maybe they think we will restrict our imperialist ambitions to the Western hemisphere only, but if so they are very foolish. And, of course, they should oppose imperialism whether it’s happening in their hemisphere or not.
To all the Europeans reading this: we have told you who we are, we have told you what we want, in no uncertain terms. Believe us.
I believe the cockroaches invaded Venezuela as “testing grounds” of sorts, but the goal is to invade somewhere else:
- It’s a small and politically isolated country. Even “centrist” (i.e. right-wing, but LARPing as fair) governments controlling nearby territories, like Brazil*, don’t want to deal with it. China gave up because of the corruption.
- The local population understandably hates Maduro, so the odds they’ll spread roach poison is lower.
- Nothing fucking works properly here in Latin America, so reactions are delayed.
- Trump is basically doublethinking all the global warming issue: “no, it doesn’r exis!” on one side, but beelining for countries that would become more livable in a warmer world. Venezuela simply doesn’t fit the bill here.
But unlike the article, I believe the roaches will try to infest Canada next, not Greenland. Greenland, thus Denmark, thus EU, is like poking a wasp nest. The roaches would need a very specific context to try overtaking it, probably in coordination with Putler.
* yes, I’m saying it. PT is right-wing LARPing as centre-left. It doesn’t fucking matter if the party’s name has to do with labourism, policies are pretty much neoliberal. No wonders they snuggled so comfortably alongside PSDB, another party with a misleading name. The only reason this crap is in power is that it’s less worse than literal fascists.
Lol at Putler
It should. There’s nothing stopping Trump from doing whatever he wants.
Mexico is next not Canada and not Greenland. He can do what he wants to do fairly quickly there without a lot of pushback, the same cannot be said for the other two.
