America's Imperial Playbook Just Got Worse

With America's rebranded "Department of War" now setting its sights on Venezuela, TJ analyzes how this new front in U.S. aggression mirrors long-standing tactics used across Africa. In this episode of The Subi Shop, TJ breaks down the striking similarities between America's destabilization strategies in South America—using drug cartels—and its playbook in Africa, where terrorism has often been weaponized. From deploying F-35s to Puerto Rico to escalating tensions near Venezuelan waters, the U.S. is once again using conflict to justify military buildup. But this time, the battleground is closer to home—and the global implications are massive.

TJ explains how this development is not just about Venezuela. It’s a reflection of a changing geopolitical order where America's grip is weakening, offering Africa new space to assert sovereignty. Historical and cultural links between South America and Africa—such as shared languages, spiritual traditions, and a legacy of resistance—form the foundation for meaningful South-South cooperation. From Barbados to Brazil, leaders are already building these bridges.

As the U.S. scales back from global domination, Africa has a narrow window to act strategically. TJ highlights the opportunity to expand intra-continental trade, leverage the Pan-African Payment System, and build diplomatic and economic ties with South American nations facing similar neocolonial pressures. If Africa moves decisively, it could use this geopolitical shift to build long-term autonomy.

This analysis is critical for anyone interested in how Africa can transform from a site of extraction to a global power through integration, solidarity, and strategic partnerships.
