So is the goal now to control the entire hemisphere?

This is a downgrade, while China and Russia carve up Europe and Asia.

This is actually an incredible point. Trump & Republicans are willfully giving up our superpower status to merely be a regional power. Insane.

I think that this was the plan the entire time. This is a Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel dark enlightenment blueprint.

The ignorance is just so appalling.

Venezuela has 20% of the oil reserve in the world.

Panama has the canal which is worth billions. Almost 75% of the cargo passing through the canal is either destined for or originates in the U.S

Chile and Argentina have bigger stores of lithium than China or the US. You know as in lithium ion batteries.

Yes, because when climate change really starts accelerating, a country will need a large swath of land to make sure they have enough food resources to survive. The people really in charge aren't talking about this.

It isn’t the Monroe Doctrine that is relevant in this case, it is the Roosevelt Corollary.

In 1904 and 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt expanded the Monroe Doctrine ti Congress. The corollary stated that not only were the nations of the Western Hemisphere not open to colonization by European powers, but that the United States had the responsibility to preserve order and protect life and property in those countries.

It stars in part, “Any country whose people conduct themselves well can count upon our hearty friendship. If a nation shows that it knows how to act with reasonable efficiency and decency in social and political matters, if it keeps order and pays its obligations, it need fear no interference from the United States. Chronic wrongdoing, or an impotence which results in a general loosening of the ties of civilized society, may in America, as elsewhere, ultimately require intervention by some civilized nation, and in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States, however reluctantly, in flagrant cases of such wrongdoing or impotence, to the exercise of an international police power.”

The US supposedly was going to abandon this viewpoint with the Clark Amendment in the 1930’s but that hasn’t been the case.

It was Trump that brought up the Monroe Doctrine yesterday. And, he is really dumb.

Correct but the maga morons really love him.

Sounds like someone is just learning about the Monroe Doctrine.

You mean that relic of the early 19th century when whites owned slaves and we didn't even have paper currency? Why are you bringing it up?

This is what they mean by making America great again. The imperialism, the white supremacy, maybe even the slavery.

Great, no healthcare or benefits for citizens and an army of masked morons out in the public, but we can follow a document conceptualized 50 years before the end of slavery.

Lmao.

This is super maga.

Trump and his MAGA minions miss the 19th century.

I cannot fathom the depth of this stupidity and ignorance.

Elections are when you are reminded that an IQ of 100 is merely the average, and that half the population scores lower.

Regional Hegemony in the Battle of the Superpowers.

Nothing about caring for Venezuelans, sovereign right of nations, all that boring ethics crap. No. It's about seizing assets to successfully push back against China and their domain of hegemony. China got the message, and will annex Taiwan sooner rather than later, and influence the entire East with a heavy hand. Like Americans, they think their race is superior.

You have an incredibly 20th century way of thinking. I've spent more time than most in South America. The place is mostly a wasteland, other than the natural abundance in the Amazon.

Yes. Trump takes north and South America. China takes Taiwan and the rest of SE Asia and Putin marches on past Ukraine into the rest of Europe

Because if the USA doesn’t respect sovereign borders and can grab oil from Venezuela, other countries will do the same.
