The level of chihuahua power surpasses even the Baltics wtf

They’re both making bets, but one is sticking with an aging, beat-up fighter past his prime, while the other’s backing the young heavyweight champ - there's a difference.

Just imagine the bragging rights and power this president secures if his wager pans out in the next few years - both domestically and internationally.

Also, now with one player stepping out and breaking the ice fully, I think it’s only a matter of time before the rest of Latin America shifts its stance on the US entirely.

I'm mostly interested in seeing what happens in Mexico. I predict that it will escalate there more to the point of a real kind of clash of some sort.

Gigantic victory for China by once again doing nothing and letting Trump single-handedly unnecessarily unify the entire hemisphere against the US, politically, militarily, and economically. I've been reading their Spanish tweets and they are going crazy galvanized.

This is like a gift from heaven! CELAC is basically Latin America's version of BRICS, including everyone outside the US and Canada.

Keep in mind that basically two strongest regional powers Mexico and Brazil are all on the same page now with their current govts.

Not to mention old anti-US countries like Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and as of recently Honduras (threatening to expel US troops due to the US bullying them over immigrants in the US originating from here), and Panama obviously due to thug-like behavior regarding the canal that Panama rejects completely.

By this point, this block has a population twice the US and doesn't need it as much as the US needs all of them. They can't be sanctioned without the US suffering much worse. Btw, Colombia was an essential component of the US military presence in South America and was until just recently used by them to contain Venezuela.

At this point, how can any rational person think that the US will last for a few more years with this kind of autistic approach and not collapse? Imagine doing this now, if you are Trump, when you are ALREADY at a proxy war with Russia, Iran, and the cold war against China (who can son you nowadays easily), for NO REASON WHATSOEVER!

Now Trump should be going everywhere begging people, to at least not abandon them toward China, and stay neutral at least, not galvanizing them as active participants against the US for no reason.

This is like 3 people are beating you on the street and chasing you down, and then you provoke another one for looking you the wrong funny way as you were running by, in the passing, so he also comes and joins the beatdown on you, and you have even less hope now.

If the current Egyptian government refuses to cooperate with Trump, then the obvious solution will be for Egypt to have a new government. There's a reason why the Global South keeps on accusing the US of orchestrating coups.

If the current Egyptian govt is touched, and a power vacuum/disorder is created, then it leaves a possibility of a 5 times worse govt for Israel/US, that reflects truly real sentiments on Arabs on the ground there, emerging and seizing power accidentally. How do you account for that fact?

The US government usually operates under the assumption that it is better at picking leaders in foreign countries than local elites or local voters.

It's how guys like Hamid Kharzai and Ahmed Chalabi got into power. IIRC, prior to serving as Afghanistan's head of state, Kharzai spent most of his time running restaurants in the US between the occasional diaspora event.

The thing about Egypt and Jordan is they're both countries with underdeveloped economies that tend to jump from one crisis to another. These countries don't have the means to house, feed and govern hundreds of thousands, nevermind a million plus Palestinians.

However, Egypt and Jordan are also desperate for foreign money.

It might be a disaster waiting to happen, but that's not going to stop Trump from promising them billions to give it a try, and at some point, someone will say yes, whether that be Sisi, Abdullah or a successor.
