It looks like people in Bolivia are organizing a lot more effectively than in Venezuela right now though. Seems like reports of MAS demise were greatly exaggerated.

All of this feels like a long prelude to some action toward Brazil. (i.e. BRICS). Then there's the current social unrest in South Africa too.

they are already trying to classify brazilian drug gangs (armed by the us, btw) as international terrorists. it's happening as we speak.

I suspect so as well, the US is taking on smaller and weaker states, but eventually they will be used to surround Brazil and put it under siege.

I wonder how they would frame an military assault on the first speaker in every UN reunion.

It seems like they don't even bother with putting the lipstick on a pig at this point.
