US Media Wonders Who Trump Will INVADE Next (Again)
Newsweek's breathless speculation on which countries Donald Trump might 'target' next after Venezuela conveniently omits a foundational piece of American history: the United States has been 'targeting' Latin American nations for over a century. From the 1898 invasion of Puerto Rico and Cuba to the CIA's 1954 coup in Guatemala, the 1973 coup in Chile, or the Contra War in Nicaragua—often under the
guise of 'democracy' or 'national security'— this isn't a new Trumpian invention, but a bipartisan tradition. The media acts surprised every time a new administration considers regime change, as if the Monroe Doctrine was a quaint suggestion, not a foreign policy blueprint carved in blood and banana republics. It appears some outlets only recognize 'intervention' when the President has
questionable hair, not when the actions align perfectly with established corporate interests and resource grabs.
