And you expect Cuba, China, and Vietnam to fall after North Korea? 1989 happened because the USSR stopped being able to fund its puppet states in Eastern Europe. They couldn’t maintain control over the population anymore. Thing is, Asians are bug people. They’re far more likely to fall in line than whites, even when they’re literally starving to death. We’re not the same species. We’re not wired the same. Additionally, while China has been on the verge of collapse for the last 30 years, so has the West. The banks know this, and they know that China can’t be allowed to fall, so it simply won’t be. Yes, China has temporarily cut some spending to North Korea. It’s why Kim is making these overtures of peace. That and Trump called his bluff militarily. Kim knew that his army couldn’t even pretend to be a threat anymore after it failed successively to produce a deterrent. So what happens now? The North gets to stay a communist dictatorship, except now it’s going to have explicit and overt economic backing from ✡Western✡ business interests. And the people of Korea stay separated and disparate.
Did you know that the two dialects of Korean are also diverging? Give it another century and they might not be mutually intelligible. Ask the people of southern Ryukyu and of northern Hokkaido, after all…

Iran because the jews will force the US to lose 100,000 white Christian soldiers to destroy Iran and bring faggotry to the Middle East. Cuba I doubt, simply because the jews get nothing from it. Venezuela’s already over and done. There better damn well not be US military intervention.
