Please include sources for any claims; baseless speculation is counterproductive. Remember that this is not a win for the US, just another outburst of a dying empire.

Well, what they can do in my homeland is similar to do criminal killings in the Caribbean while framing it as a fight with the drug cartel.

Sadly, that might score points with the bloodthirsty fascists within the USA.

    What's the correct response to "Kiss the ring or maybe we kill your civilians?"

    Hmm, maybe, I wouldn't respond to such an absurd question.

    Sorry, I should have phrased that differently.

    I guess I'm considering the nature of the question if the consequence of non-compliance is not even economic, but just simply murdering people. Because I can apply economic analysis to one, but the what you're suggesting just sounds like naked terrorism, which warrants a different kind of thinking.

    It is naked terrorism and it is not new sadly. We have seen it in Palestine.

    From our side, we have to keep agitating the masses against this violence. What the imperialist wants is demobilization and apathy. If we all at least fight against these two things, then some day we might see conditions for a different strategy.

    As for the oppressed, we have to keep fighting within the material conditions that we are living. In Venezuela, they were already winning by beating the sanctions. Now, their victory will be if they maintain and grow the comuna system(their form of DOTP) and all of the resources within state control.
