Conveniently forgetting that he promised no new wars or regime changes and America (understood as the US) first.

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.

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?
I cannot fathom the depth of this stupidity and ignorance.

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.

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.

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.
