They’ve been trying in Iran for a while already, will they eventually succeed idk, I hope not.
Funnily enough the reason Iran is Iran is because of a government installed by the US.
North Korea, very unlikely. They’ve mastered guarding exactly against this thing.
Cuba is unfortunately more susceptible due to being an isolated island right off the coast of the US. Cuba is economically worse off, yet culturally still influenced by the US.
Iran has already lost the cultural war, and many people fell for the outside propaganda. Moreover, Iran is suffering its worst economic state. The country is barely standing at the moment. So this one is likely as well.
P.S. this is all, speculation, no one can predict for sure.
NK also has backing from China, and I’m not sure even Trump is stupid enough to start a war with China.
This is far more important than any “guarding”
North Korea is being actively used as a pawn by China to do things that China doesn’t want to be seen/caught doing.
The most obvious one is hacking, a lot of the North Korean state groups even operate from inside the borders of China.
Nobody knows or could possibly know.
Except one person on an internet betting platform.
Has there even been regime change in Venezuela? It looks like the current regime will stay, but they’ll have to give Trump and his oligarchs a cut (perhaps a large one).
Side question: are there any lemmy communities for political discussions (rather than just news links)?
Trump is only going after weak countries, like any bully would. Show some muscle and he goes back to his doghouse, even better, he eats in your hand
Or Nigeria, or Greenland, or Panama…
Mexico, Canada, and Greenland are more likely. NK has Chinese protection, Cuba is of no strategic nor resource value, and Iran… I highly doubt they’d be able to really influence and take over before the end of the presidency. It would fuel US hate in the region and probably the Arab world would be extremely pissed.
But hey, who knows what yankee doodle’s got on his mind.
Cuba is of no strategic nor resource value
I imagine the USA wants a larger island to illegally render prisoners. Gitmo 2: Electric Buguloo
