Yes, there is resistance
I put in quotes what I thought highlights some of the story that
there is resistance to ameriKa's hegemony.
To add, trumpolini's twiiting is meant for certain eyes only,
his base including the DC/WS/MIC troika of evil. So the empire
dies by his ignorance of what he's twiiting is quite fitting.

Officially founded in 1961 by post-colonial icons like Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah, Jawaharlal Nehru of India, and Yugoslavian leader Josef Tito, NAM was originally conceived as an alliance between countries seeking independence from both the US and Soviet power blocs during the height of the Cold War.
A global endorsement of Maduro’s legitimacy
NAM’s gathering in Caracas took place a mere six months after the US attempted to install the opposition politician Juan Guaido as president of Venezuela. Fifty-four European and US-aligned governments around the world joined Washington in recognizing Guaido despite the fact that he had failed to establish control over a single institution of governance.
“We have the support of the world,” Guaido insisted on July 18.
But the NAM summit provided a clear rebuke to Guaido’s claim of international approval. Representatives from over 120 nations as well as international organizations like the African Union, the United Nations, and The National Hostosian Movement for the Independence of Puerto Rico descended on Caracas in an explicit endorsement of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s authority.
Venezuelan UN Ambassador Samuel Moncada noted the irony behind Guaido’s assertions of legitimacy. “In the world there are 193 countries and the United States cites only 54,” Moncada said, referencing the delegates that filled the summit hall before him. “Here there are 120 nations. Two-thirds of the United Nations believes that the government of Nicolas Maduro is the legitimate government of Venezuela.”
The NAM summit’s success was particularly relevant to Ambassador Moncada’s fight to maintain Venezuela’s UN status. This June, US Vice President Mike Pence delivered a condescending tirade at a General Assembly meeting in which he demanded Mocada “go home” while admonishing other states to revoke his government’s credentials. But at the NAM meeting, the UN’s largest member bloc implicitly rebuked Pence.
Delegates at the NAM summit unanimously approved a document that denounced US efforts to carry out regime change in Venezuela. It went on to thank Maduro for his work as NAM’s Chairperson and announced support for his country’s candidacy to serve on the UN Human Rights Council.
As delegates arrived for the NAM summit on July 18, photos of a swimsuit-clad Guaido diving into the Carribean surfaced in local media. Guaido had been visiting Venezuela’s Margarita Island, where he publicly thanked the European Union’s parliament for requesting even more crushing sanctions on the country.
Challenging the dollar, sending the US into a frenzy
US unilateral sanctions are only effective because the world economic system relies so heavily on the dollar and Western financial structures. As even Foreign Policy, a favorite outlet of the US diplomatic establishment, acknowledged this June, “All this bullying is made possible because the US dollar remains the world’s reserve currency.” The over-reliance on economic intimidation has accelerated the birth of an alternative system that allows nations outside the Western sphere of influence to conduct business on their own terms.
“China, Russia, others– we at the moment create alternatives [to the US-controlled international economy],” Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov informed The Grayzone, “then we will probably move to [use] not just national currencies, but baskets of currencies… we will use ways that will diminish the role of the dollar and US banking system.”
In recent years, NAM participants including Russia, India, Turkey, China, and Venezuela, have sold off significant holdings of their US debt while simultaneously increasing their stockpiles of gold.
In September 2018, Russia, Turkey, and Iran committed to trade in local currencies, including for gas and oil. In April, Moscow and Ankara created a joint-investment fund bankrolled entirely in euros. The following month, Venezuela sold $570 million worth of gold to the United Arab Emirates which was paid for in cash, and in euros.
During the St. Petersburg Economic Forum this June, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that it was time to “rethink the role of the dollar, which has become an instrument of pressure for its issuers on the whole world.”
Following the NAM summit, Venezuelan Economy Minister Tareck El Aissami announced his country’s establishment of a payment system to meet obligations to Russia that will be covered with rubles.
The developments have sent the US establishment into a frenzy.
In January, White House National Security Advisor John Bolton issued a veiled threat on Twitter:

My advice to bankers, brokers, traders, facilitators, and other businesses: don’t deal in gold, oil, or other Venezuelan commodities being stolen from the Venezuelan people by the Maduro mafia. We stand ready to continue to take action.

Five months later, the US dollar experienced a sharp decline. This July, Credit Suisse predicted it would continue to fall while JP Morgan’s private bank advised clients to diversify currency holdings because “the US dollar could lose its status as the world’s dominant currency.”
One day after JP Morgan released that report, it was up to President Donald Trump’s unusually active thumbs to revive confidence in the dollar.
On his Twitter account, Trump insisted, “We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!”

It's going to be painful
for us proles in America, but the regime here must be disarmed. Their weapon of choice is the dollar. There will be a major push to rally the people around the flag, and it may slow the inevitable, but the American Dollar will fall.
We have simply pissed off too many people.
Stupid fucking 1% ers.
A tiny less greed, and they probably could have gone on forever.

Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.

I Was Thinking About This Just a Few Minutes Ago...
What happens when foreign economies don't finance our shit? Will they onshore the 3rd world wage system? Because somebody's got to get paid zilch to make the economy profitable for Big Corporate & the Oligarchs, so won't they just repatriate the colonial economic model and use it domestically?

thanks for featuring this, amigo
but given your title, i hadn't gotten that by 'resistance' you'd meant the gathering of the non-aligned nations in caracas.
resume-english had written it up, but not in such detail: 120 Countries Defend Venezuela at the Non-Aligned Movement Summit in Caracas, July 20, 2019 (a few additions, at least i hope i'm not doubling up)

Wouldn't it follow that corporation, multi-nationals, once
They see which way the power is going will abandon the US? Well in some ways they already have (jobs in manufacturing among other things.)
I see no allegiance to the US among the truly monied classes.
Our retirement is tied completely to the US and the value of the dollar. Wish we had left long ago and built up a different plan for retirement.

Whether it's SS or private pension
or both in my case, we are all facing the same future. A collapsed economy will end our support in our golden years that we have worked so hard for.
Support for the poor, the sick, and the elderly will end too.
An American Dystopia will rein.
Nuclear annhilation or climate collapse may be welcomed.
Stop spending and save, save, save is all we can do.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
