It is a matter of time before this results in kinetic blowback on US soil.
It is not very hard to get from latam to the US. If the IRA could do it to Britain, blowback is coming if this keeps happening.
US policy in latam is now open and bare colonialism, much like Britain's policy in Ireland was. It would not surprise me to see it escalate into something similar.
If Trump openly states intent to kill world leaders then any would-be world leaders being targeted would be completely within my expectations if they sent attempts to kill Trump.
CIA would love nothing more than a massive “terrorist attack” on US soil, doubly so if they don’t have to do the planning. They’ve been pining for the golden years of 9/11 bloodthirst.
As for Trump, well I can’t fedpost, but I can say that we wouldn’t have him hiding behind bulletproof glass if it weren’t for that fuckin’ Thomas kid
Yeah maybe. But it would start the American empire's troubles.
Looks at meme: DPRK genius for having nukes
Empire will surely crumble if Venezuela and Colombia forces reach US soil, and large portions of US public won't be volunteering and calling to turn South America to glass... surely. Millions in South America won't die from civil war from propped up US aligned and US funded local forces, and US sanctioning and bombing them to the stone age while all that comes out of the international community is some strongly worded letters and pathetic protests or even support for taking down all these evil brown dictators and cartels who would dare attack the bastion of freedom and democracy.
I don't think I said or even implied that it would be pretty.
Idk about other countries, but Colombians are so beaten down by 70+ years of armed conflict that most of them would go
and keep trying to survive in the rubble. Having violence be the backdrop to our lives both desensitized us to it, and made us think it's always pointless, despite the reasons. When violence is a constant in your life, you just accept it, turn your back to it, and keep doin what you're doing. Look anywhere else for any kind of blowback or armed resistance.
sponsoring political violence through training and material support is what invites the blowback. plan columbia has been running for 80 years and has created generations of monsters.
it wasn't the beaten down and terrorized educators, trade unionists and communists that metastasized in Afghanistan and took out the WTC in lower manhattan. it was their enemies, the religious extremist reactionaries that were sponsored by the CIA to do dirty work who turned right around and went after their former masters.
it won't be regular Columbian people that would lash out against the US in blowback, it will be the tightly wound and rabid dogs that turn on their former masters over some betrayal or lack of support from their former allies at some critical inflection point.
Lol wishful thinking
Socialist orgs the world over don't really do blowback, that's more of a right-wing thing
