Another leverage for Putin. I explain. Trump goes against Maduro - Venezuela ends up singing a 10y cooperation deal with Russia. Now Colombia, part of BRICS-led New Development Bank, whose president is pro Russia to begin with. It gives Putin a leverage to be the "mediator" who ends up on top.

Still looks like Trump, Xi, and Putin have already divvied up the World; Xi gets Asia and India, Vlad gets Europe, Donnie gets Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and South America.

Africa remains the only contested continent.

Trump is buying places like Argentina, and making war on places Venezuela and Columbia.

It's a done deal.

No, but your meds probably are so go take them before saying something else that is abysmally stupid.

Reading posts from righties on this type of thread only reinforces the conclusion of just how absolutely stupid and ignorant they are. They have zero concept of what projection of soft power means and how it shaped the world they lived in and they clearly have zero concept of what the Constitution says when they cheer the constant brazen violations of Constitutional separation of powers.
