The Donroe Doctrine and shades of darker ages…

"Donald Trump’s use of military intervention in the Americas is an escalation of a centuries long policy of intervention on behalf of US interests."

EXCERPT: "If you are wondering what the motivation or “logic” might be behind some of the more recent international atrocities it is time to dig deep in the “Doctrines” – the Doctrine of Discovery (1493), the Monroe Doctrine (1823), Manifest Destiny (1843) and most recently the Donroe Doctrine (circa 2025-26) named by US President Donald Trump, after he reached into the annals to try to prop up his administration’s dystopian policies.

While Canadians might consider the Monroe Doctrine as something belonging to a history class about the United States, it’s time to recognize that this Doctrine has in fact shaped the development of all countries in this hemisphere and beyond – and yes, a Doctrine that also shaped the development of Canada.

If you are wondering what has possessed Trump and his sidekicks to threaten to acquire Canada as the 51st state, or to acquire Greenland for US security reasons, or to bomb Venezuela and kidnap President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Celia Flores, or bomb more than 50 fishing boats in the Caribbean, or to continue to justify suffocating sanctions against Cuba and blocking third countries from delivering oil, look no further than the President’s belief in the archaic Monroe Doctrine and its reformulated clone the ‘Donroe Doctrine.’ . . . .
