A giant power vacuum was just created. The diplomacy and global stability superpower just perished. What we will see is more countries chewing on themselves and one another going forward.
- WW3 has been underway for about a decade now, it’s just being fought through cyberwarfare, propaganda, and proxy wars.
  
  Nnooooooooo it's not WWIII!!! I can't understand that warfare is fought on multiple fronts, so don't call an obvious global struggle for power and supremacy WWIII /s!!!!!!
It seems that the only countries that seem to be getting a handle on things in south America are the ones where they round up and imprison everyone remotely connected to the gangs.. face tats.. off to prison.
- Which ones have successfully eradicated the drug trafficking culture in their countries? Mexico and Columbia have always been the traditional ones. Not sure how big drug industry is elsewhere.
  
  El Salvador has seen crime drop across the country after Bukele arrested everyone with a gang tattoo.
- Check elsalvador. And now other countries are ramping up their approach. Building massive remote prisons for gang members, waves of arrests, no contact policies for prisoners.. it's incredibly harsh.. but in El Salvador it's working.
