    “domestic considerations are the main drivers of geo-politics” Is this not an idealist argument? Material conditions would be, no?

      Even using that logic by itself, the bigger “Domestic Consideration” would be resources to exploit from the country we’re invading than the Epstein Files that have done fucking nothing, wouldn’t it?

      Just so galaxy-brained on their end.

      Yeah, the commentor is very obviously not a Marxist. The main driver of geopolitics is pursuit of resources. Venezuela has oil and Brazil has rare earths. A puppet regime in a resource rich region that doesn’t have another super power to counter the US is valuable to US Imperialist ambitions, especially if the ME intensifies.
