the americans are going to destabilize the entire americas to prevent something like this from happening and it's going to work; latin american capitalists make of a very large percentage; have complete control over the judiciary, media, military, & police; and they're rabidly pro-usa capitalists and maga-like religious fundamentalist, so i expect the destabilization to work since they're sending in experienced & successful destabilizers like ron johnson to mexico.

brics won't matter when the countries are engaged in civil war with american troops crippling leftists governments financially by occupying all the ports... again.

I'm sure the US will do everything in their power to prevent this from happening, but so far they haven't even been able to destabilize Venezuela. And it's not for lack of trying. It's also important to keep in mind that destabilization is primarily done through economic means, and that's where BRICS becomes so important. As long as these countries are stable economically, it becomes difficult to sow unrest. We don't know how this all plays out of course, but I think there's good chance the US will continue losing its grip on Latin America going forward.

This sort of stuff has been going on since before Chavez though, and Venezuela is arguably stronger than ever today.
