Peter Zeihan says Venezuela is heading for "beyond dire" civil breakdown rather than a civil war if the oil blockade continues >No money for the regime to fund anything - it collapses >Theoretically over a million Ak47s dispersed among the population >No local force strong enough to impose authority>No foreign force willing to impose authority >Venezuelan oil will become unavailable for "several years">Predicts it could eventually lead to a market shock
>>524589947He's finally given up shilling about china then?Still never going to watch a single video of this glownigger assest
>>524589947>Military dictatorship with 96% of people living in extreme poverty and poverty will totally have a civil breakdownZeihan is stupid as fuck, also a kike
>>524589947If Peter Zion is saying the US is going to win that means they are 100 percent going lose
>>524589947>Peter Zeihanlol
>524589947buy an ad faggot
>>524589947Yeah well it will be crazy if they just do a total blockade and see what happens.
>>524589947>there's millions of AKs dispersed!!>how do I know? Their government said so!And yet during the revolt where they hijacked a helicopter and tons of people were out trying to ocerthrow the government no one had any guns
>>524590857iirc he said in a video last month these suppsed guns were more concentrated in the hands of regime-supporting groups and militias
>>524589947Now I am 100% sure vuvuzuela will be completely fine if that absolutely retard is shilling against it
>>524589947every expression this dude makes is a basedface even he doesn't have the gaping mouth
>>524589947>Peter Zeihan sayslmao
>>524589947China will probably lowkey give everyone free food and supplies just to be dicks.
>>524593323China's not gonna be able to keep 20-30 million supplied reliably
crimea was supposed to suffer a famine in January
>>524590098What's the last war we won? We can destabilize the state but we cannot effectively run one, this place wouldn't be falling apart if they could. It's just cover for the resource wars but basing war off lies and using the incompetent to do it will end in the same result. We don't have a right to Venezuelan oil and given the track record of fucking over the populace in all things economic you'd be hard pressed to find conscripts who feel the same way. I guess they better find out how to draft sandeep and Lopez for this one. 29 million Venezuelans meaning with a conservative estimate of 1:20 to prevent or counter an insurgency you'd need 1.5 million men minimally to take and hold Venezuela which means you'd need to conscript exactly that many to not lose a foot hold in the rest of the world that's also sitting on top of our oil and we only have 1.3 million active personnel now. You'd have to conscript 1 out of every 200 Americans for this effort and hope it somehow makes a difference to a nation that cannot figure out nuclear power and has Chinese PLCs installed in a variety of devices that it relies on for the pitiful amount of power they are able to produce. If everyone of median and below height have to deal with pic related can anyone tell me what they could possibly gain from not shooting their draft officer in the face? They don't get loot or concubines just a lifetime of disability which along with all other entitlements are out pacing GDP. Meaning anything we gain from theft of other countries has to out perform paying 1 million+ 3000$ a month for life. This is to say nothing of the humanitarian costs of keeping natives alive after bombing their remaining infrastructure.
>>524594046They can work through intermediaries like the B in BRICS and anyone else in the region that thinks reducing America's power will help them long term. There are a lot of third party stand alone actors in the region that somewhat fit this bill and the failures of communism are oft helped by American counter revolutionary techniques. America is planning on a war with China in 12-24 months as inevitable, it's the driving factor behind the AI race and reliance on central and south America are absolutely necessary to survive such a conflict. If China wants to keep a conflict off their doorstep they can work on expanding their markets and influence in this region. They don't need to win just make America lose by any metric ideally allowing enough time for refugees to shit up our border and every place in between so everyone has a constant reminder of what America did to the region.
I guess venezuela will live until the end of the century then
>>524589947Venezuela is a dysfunctional failed state with civil breakdown now.
>>524589947>All the geopolitical rivals of the US are headed for collapse Lol.
>>524595643Yes, even a failed attempt at keeping Venezuelan society afloat might buy some social credit in the region but the point that the country and surrounding region will see a lot of disturbance still stands
