Funny thing is that Bessent actually is a former Soros man!
Even if Milei loses the legislative mid-terms on October 29th, the US is already "convincing" centrist extremists that annexation / intervention is for their own good, making the very persuasive US case directly, mugging one representative after another, one governor after the next.
An invasion by a different name.
And the idiot Dems don't understand they are not paying for any of it, only confetti money.

So if you take a look at Latin America, it's a spotty look.
Argentina: soon to be annexed
Peru: turmoil, but central bank under control
Bolivia: resisting, but possibly fundamentally broken, a matter of time
Paraguay: taken
Chile: the pseudo-leftie government is about to fall, the far right will take it soon
Mexico: too big, too close, complicated, wait and see
Brazil: a pain in the arse, Bolsonaro didn't work, undermine harder, maybe force it to split.
There's Venezuela too.
I don't believe they can credibly offer any form of military resistance other than possibly urban guerrillas, converting it into a new Palestine. Except Venezuela is a much bigger mid-sized country with a complex geography, and it stands right next to Colombia and Brazil.
No way in hell Brazil are going to stay quiet if the US invades Venezuela, so that's not a great prospect no matter how you look at it.
Venezuela seems condemned more by starvation than by force.
