"The [National Security Strategy] document revives a Monroe Doctrine posture through what it calls a 'Trump Corollary,' asserting hemispheric primacy and committing the United States to push back 'non-hemispheric' influence. It treats migration and cartel violence as central security threats and links hemispheric control to military posture and sustained regional pressure campaigns."

Trump’s National Security Plan Revives the Logic of Molotov-Ribbentrop — and Puts U.S. Allies at Risk

"Folks, it’s time for Trump to return his FIFA Peace Prize, considering the 'America First' President who promised no new wars has already bombed 7 countries in the past year and is gearing up to bomb several more before he croaks."

"We are being governed — and I use that word loosely — by a madman who is drunk on his own power, playing generalissimo and behaving like someone who slept through the failed nation building efforts of the last several decades.

I do not consent to spill American blood and treasure on regime change and conquest against governments who pose no danger to the United States. Do you?"

"He got a taste of violence & clearly wants more. ...

Trump regime spokespeople have offered a range of explanations for the unprovoked and unnecessary violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty & international law. But Trump’s breathless enthusiasm for illegal violence, beamed to his home/entertainment hub for his personal delectation, is perhaps more telling than any post facto rationalization."
