Trump Warns 'Jaguar' While US Meddled Globally for Decades
Trump's intimations, reported by The Guardian, that any nation deemed a drug source could face US military intervention, including US ally Colombia, conveniently ignores a century of American foreign policy. From CIA covert ops in Guatemala (1954) to Nicaragua (1980s), and the disastrous 'Plan Colombia' with its billions in US aid weaponizing a domestic conflict, Washington has never needed a
'drug war' to meddle in Latin American sovereignty. This isn't a new threat; it's a worn-out playbook designed to unilaterally assert US power, regardless of international law or the wishes of sovereign nations. The hypocrisy is astounding: a country that struggles to control its own opioid crisis now threatens military invasions abroad. One might wonder if the 'jaguar' isn't simply tired of the
same old tired threats from its northern neighbor masquerading as novel policy. (Again.)
