Because if you look at the half that got implicitly/explicitly targeted, basically Brazil/Mexico/Colombia, I don't think that the population identifies as adversary.

I do think that those you threaten will feel less amicable, and more open to alternatives.

Thinking of it, now is a great time to orange pill.

Of course it’s a good time to orange pill, but people care about their pocketbooks more than their ruler’s job security.

If using dollars is better for their families, then they’ll want to use dollars.
