The third world isn't naive enough to think the USA brings prosperity to 3rd world countries these days with the last 40 years worth of examples. This is a western conceit.

The Monroe Doctrine had the tradeoff of staying out of Europe and non-american continents. We aren't pulling out of Taiwan and won't the ME as long as congress is owned by Israel. This is just a convenient framing for this one specific issue, globalism being sold as the Monroe doctrine.

Nope, it'll eat up airwaves until the midterms. Americans want to focus on America, that's why he's been dropping so hard in the polls for the first year. Immediately started to bomb and lost basically everyone under 40 after the Iran stuff and Epstein. They'll lose the midterms by a landslide and it'll be nothing but downhill from there. You older voters just don't understand the newer generations. I'd expect a short term bump as the brohaha low T people feel bigger for a bit. Then steady decline to the midterm losses.

Yet it takes a kid youtuber to catch billions in Somali fraud at home. At this point I'm pretty sure the US has been run by the CIA since at least Kennedy and all the rest of democracy, the federal government and congress is the equivalent of handing your little brother a controller that isn't plugged in when he wants to "play nintendo" with you.

Boomers did. I don't think the younger generations will given the current debt level.

Seems like that ship sailed ages ago. Even before this you had MTG leaving and Tucker criticizing him, while Pence and Bush praise him. I think at this point the question is more how much this will end up tanking Vance? He's done almost nothing to separate himself from the Epstein coverup, the foreign wars, etc. Just kinda sat in the background and done cheerleading when asked. Seems like his chances are going up in smoke.
This really doesn't seem like anything new for any South American ruler to contend with given the US's history in the region. They'd have to contend with internal rivals constantly anyway. No one that takes their rule as granted and gets complacent will ever last in any position like that.
