    Venezuela speed running propped up puppet government I guess. Usually took other countries a lot longer to get to this point. CIA is slacking.

      I think Trump assumed he’d already set up a puppet government. He made a deal with the VP, she got bumped up to president when Trump took out her boss. So, she’s a puppet, right? But, it doesn’t seem like she ever had any intention of becoming a puppet, and Trump has no leverage to force her.

      Well here in the US we’ve been speedrunning Germany in the 1930s, so it tracks that the places we fuck up and try to control would also be speedrunning their own thing.

        We don’t need to speed run another country, the United States’ founding ideology is that the genocide of an entire continent is a good thing.
