Prof. Jeffrey Sachs discusses the US invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Maduro.Follow Prof. Glenn Diesen: Substack: https://glenndiesen.su...
Iran seems like it’s a very likely target, Cuba or Nicaragua are also possibilities if the US is now focusing on Latin America. Greenland is another possibility since the US sees it as their foothold in the arctic.
In case the US attacks Iran, I don’t expect that any state would go into a direct conflict with the US over it because it would be world war three at that point. Iran is getting military support from both Russia and China right now. Russia has been flying many military cargo missions there non stop of late. But in terms of actual fighting, they would be on their own.
Finally, can’t see any Latam/Caribbean state going against the US. We can see that even Brazil which is a member of BRICS and the only one in the region is basically looking the other way right now.
indeed, although watching Europeans cry when the US inevitably annexes Greenland is going to be a sight to see. After supporting every single atrocity of the empire, they’ll find that they themselves are on the menu.
Also true, but I do think Greenland would be a whole new level of humiliation. With Nordstream they still managed to convince enough of the public that nobody knows who did it. This isn’t going to be something you can sweep under the carpet.
Denmark was complaining when US founded military base in Greenland originally, they were made to shut up after joining NATO. So this is ongoing humilation for 80 years already, but it’s ok since they don’t yell about it. I have zero expectations even open annexation will make libs confront reality, they will just said that it’s for the better. Even if Trump do it, their objections towars him instantly evaporated when he “did the right thing in their book” by kidnapping Maduro.

How depressing.

They are visibly on the menu since Nordstream, but that didn’t stopped the bootlick.

You may well be right here. There appears to be an unlimited capacity for debasement in Europe when it comes to the US.
