There are a lot of people in South Korea that hates the US and Japan way more than the DPRK or China. There are still a strong anti-US sentiment in Okinawa and near US bases in Japan, these led to the 1960 and 1970 Anpo protests in Japan.
We need this photo of Ho as an emoji. He looks so happy.
His father, Álvaro Noboa, is a billionaire that uses child and slave labor. They are known to abuse public funds and attack trade unions and the IRS. They hate Rafael Correa because he wouldn’t stop the IRS from freezing Noboa’s funds because of accusations of child labor.
Noboa and Milei competing to see who is the first South American president to completely destroy his own country.
who don’t like Glas can recognize that this is just an absolutely insane action
Noboa is so stupid that he did this shit because he wanted an easy win, since his fight against the cartel is going badly. He thought he was going to dominate the Correistas by arresting someone who was once close to Rafael Correa. But Noboa broke international law, and even the US seems to be pissed off about it.
Great plan to isolate your own country from its neighbors and the West when you urgently need help to fight the drug cartels.
decides to focus on arresting an irrelevant ex-opposition member
Jorge Glas is still close to Rafael Correa, he was expelled from Lenin Moreno’s government because he refused to participate in the selling the country to the US. Noboa is trying to intimidate the Correaistas and appease his own supporters, all to divert attention from the fact that Noboa is a useless US puppet who is doing nothing to stop his country falling into a civil war against the drug cartels.
Xi is now a lulist?!
Actually it was President Rutherford B. Hayes who removed Federal Troops from the South and ended Reconstruction.
One of the good thing that came out of the Ukraine War was the fact Russia and the DPRK have got really close since both got sanctioned. I guess it means Russia can do trade normally with the DPRK.

What’s most likely is that Russia will install a puppet regime as part of the terms of surrender.
I remember reading in some Western newspaper that Russia wanted an interim government with Viktor Yanukovych as its leader. But I doubt that this was more than just anti-Russian propaganda. I believe Yanukovych is unpopular in Ukraine, and if they had a plan to set up a puppet government, it would probably just be a pro-Russian general.
No, Bolsonaro refused to accept defeat, he tried everything to reverse the election results. Until the Army, the Air Force and the neoliberal Ghouls told him to accept defeat. Even so, he still tried to stage a coup in the government on January 8th.
And unlike in the US, there was an actual document that the military wanted Lula to sign in order to order the army to take over the government. It’s a bit like the one they made Pedro Castillo sign, but it’s not the same thing.
Lula decided not to sign and chose to use his powers as president to intervene in state security and order the police to repress and arrest the Bolsonaro supporters. And so they ended up being arrested, forced to shower and vaxxed.
He did, but he got “sick” and went to a hospital. Then he saw the medical bill, then he got healthy again really fast after that, and his visa expired so he had to return to Brazil. And some weeks later he lost his political rights until 2030 (He lost it two times, now he can’t run in 2030, which means his rights will only return in 2034).
Without Brazil’s support, Venezuela would have a hard time invading Guyana. I agree with what @CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net said, Venezuela will try to win the support of the people living in Essequiba with aid and other things. And Guyana cannot and will not respond militarily to that. I think in the end both will agree to co-administer the territory and wait for a UN referendum.
Iirc there were Russian and Cuban soldiers in Venezuela during the attempted coup against Maduro by Guaido and the Bay of Piglets. No idea if China would support Venezuela, but China said this: Wang Wenbin, Chinese spokesperson, says he “supports Venezuela and Guyana” in the Essequibo dispute because “both are good friends.”
I think Brazil will de-escalate the situation.
There are some other news outlets but they are mostly in spanish and some in portuguese (if you want to read about Brazil)
This conflict is about more than just “distracting people”. Guyana reportedly wanted to build US military bases around its border with Venezuela. Since the US can’t use Colombia or Brazil to launch a ground invasion of Venezuela, it wants to use Guyana in exchange for money and oil exploitation.
Also, Guyana has never cared about this territory, which is why the native peoples who live there tried to join Venezuela in 1968.
