Brazil’s 2018 Election: Bolsonaro defeats Haddad to become President of Brazil

[Baka's Weird Case]

Intervention works in some limited instances. Especially if it’s regional. Idk enough about Venezuela to comment on whether this would work, but not all interventions = Iraq

Examples of fairly succesful interventions throughout Africa: Tanzania ousting Idi Amin, ECOWAS ousting Jammeh, Brits in Sierra Leone, Liberia etc. Balkans was fairly successful.

Sometimes the use of external force can be the least worst option.

i think you need
a.) experts with a a significant amount of knowledge on the subject planning the intervention
b.) a consistent policy that only changes due to a careful and close examination of factors on the ground
c.) an intervening party that has some legitimate humanitarian interests in the area in question and that will work to prevent unnecessary casualties and destruction

i dont think the trump administration (or bolsonaro administration) are equipped with ANY of that. i think their only interests and motivations for intervention in venezuela are economic (venezuelan oil) and political (leftism of venezuelan government).

in general i think any military intervention under a trump administration is going to be bad. even if the intervention was perfectly planned and executed i think his global unpopularity in conjunction with an intervention (from a country that is disliked the world over for its "world police" role) will be even worse for the US global image.

Plus Venezuela hasn’t had a functioning democracy since before Chavez. Oil prices built and destroyed the country in a decade.

Trump doesn’t want to rebuild infrastructure properly in Puerto Rico. He isn’t ready for ground up nation building.

I’m sure you mean well by this post but this doesn’t make any sense, there are dozens of islands in the Caribbean with functioning democracies, they have elections all the time, there is no right wing populist wave in the Caribbean

Haiti doesn’t have a well functioning democracy, pap doc who controlled Haiti for decades would be considered right wing (nationalistic, militaristic) and elements of his movement are still alive, I’m not that familiar with Haitian politics but I’m sure there are a bunch of politicians that can be considered right wing and Haiti is very unstable right now

There's a linkage towards white anxiety and the rise of right-wing populism

while thats true other forms of identity can substitute. the governments in india and turkey right now are pretty similar and they draw on religious anxiety.

Yes but if you define right wing as a nationalistic and militaristic movement, Haiti definitely has that.
