Unless the USA invades, I imagine the process won’t be fully controlled by the USA.

Currently, the Venezuelan Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez, is in Russia. She would likely be acting as President Anna isn’t at risk of being kidnapped by the USA. The question right now is whether the Venezuelan government can maintain its chain of command as the USA attacks it.

The USA is likely hoping for a coup where the current government falls. If that happens, the successor will likely be a choice of the Venezuelan military and internal security ministries.

It was centrally located for the time, but it was still established with the idea it would have coastal access.

And it was a decent location that followed the European model of having the capital not on the coast but inland enough to defend. Caracas matches that location as well.

Moving the capital is a major logistical hurdle in peace or war.

In war, it is usually a bad sign if a government has to abandon the capital. The only cases I can think of where a government had to abandon the capital but ended up winning the war was the United States in the War of 1812 and Mexico during the French installation of a Mexican king, both cases where the war ended in part because the war became too costly to the occupier and the occupied could trade massive amounts of land, someone Venezuela can’t really do.

In peace, there is a massive amount of infrastructure that needs to be built to support the administration of a government. Germany chose to keep several government agencies in Bonn during unification given the large number of government buildings available. South Korea’s attempt to move the capital to Sejong has been slow and has only moved some ministries. Indonesia and Egypt are having issues funding their relocation attempts. Venezuela, in contrast, is fucking broke.

Trump has admitted that there are a lot of CIA agents in Venezuela. It was also suspiciously easy for the USA to get Maduro out of the country.

My guess is that the USA likely expects a coup to happen which will install a friendly regime.

I don’t care enough to have one.

I would search online for ways to help with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. If you want to hear about personal accounts, Howie Mandel has been rather open about his struggles with OCD.

The USA brought aid as well. The Marshall Plan provided significant aid to its allies.

Until the government can’t pay it back.

There used to be courses that acted to weed out students by being difficult and having shitty teaching as a way to weed out students who would only do the bare minimum within the structure of the class.

Some AI companies are doing this because the cost of relying on the open market is too high to build in certain areas and the standard of electricity required by the data center may be something that the grid can’t supply.

There are also some countries, like Saudi Arabia, trying to lure data centers into their countries by offering cheap land, permitting, and cheap electricity.

… interesting that the US decided to back the “communist” side of the conflict.

Both the US and Libya.

In general, the African Union is concerned that allowing for the redrawing of borders could lead to major wars and displacement of peoples on the continent, moreso than what has already occurred. In this case, the US was likely participating in maintaining the status quo.

It just happened to be that the current government in power was communist, but the US likely thought that preserving African borders was preferable to opening the continent to further destabilization.

There is currently only one recognized African country, Ethiopia, that recognizes Somaliland. Why only one African country? Because the others are afraid that a reevaluation of borders at best gets you something like the Partition of India at best and at worst gets you war between two countries.

This isn’t white man’s burden shit.

While there has been a taboo against the changing of borders in Africa due to legitimate reasons, it became accepted that South Sudan should be created due to the destabilizing force that the Sudanese government played in the local populace. While the southern part of Somalia isn’t a direct threat to Somaliland, it is obvious that there isn’t a central Somali government able to enact control over Somaliland and the Somaliland government doesn’t wish territorial expansion to become the legitimate government of all Somalia.

In these terms, I feel like the recognition of Somaliland isn’t destabilizing to the region and seems to be a better option than continued anarchy over a wider area.

I also feel like Djibouti is trying to fight against this recognition as this gives Ethiopia another path to sea access.

Outside of the USA? You can still start around the 70’s as a time when medical costs started increasing as the greatest generation started to retire, taking away talent from the workforce and starting to use all those retirement benefits they were entitled to. You also had an increase in quality of medicine, which usually came at a cost.

Funding these higher costs would require new taxes, which was becoming politically unpopular across First World democracies.

None at all.

Which is why a lot of people who buy ads build in their own tracking methods to test the efficacy of their campaigns.

I knew one person who had a small skin care line who knew the cost to obtain customers from the various forms of ads including individual influencers based on links and referral codes.

It was just a gas leak.

The show also hits viewers over the head that there are morals that the crew won’t cross, like stealing medicine from that town. It is also in the opening song that, because of the war and his service, Mal can’t exactly settle down and be a good law abiding citizen, so he takes jobs of dubious legality since they pay better.

Mal is the same kind of bad that Han Solo was painted as in Star Wars. He’s not a nice guy, but more neutral than evil and will perform good acts at times.

The show also played up the Alliance as being more absolutely evil because it had to in order to justify Mal.
