US Military Chief Visits Caribbean While Trump Threatens Venezuela
The Pentagon's top brass is jetting off to the Caribbean, ostensibly for 'security consultations,' as the Trump administration ratchets up its rhetoric against Venezuela. One might almost believe this sudden interest in regional stability is genuine, rather than a thinly veiled revival of the Monroe Doctrine. (Because, of course, Washington's past interventions in Latin America, from Chile to
Grenada, were purely altruistic peacekeeping missions.) This isn't about 'democracy' or 'stability.' It's about resources, strategic influence, and a long-standing U.S. playbook. Every time the U.S. military 'visits' a region under the guise of 'cooperation' while simultaneously leveling threats at a neighboring sovereign nation, the echoes of past coups and proxy wars ring louder than any
diplomatic assurances. How many times must this particular tragicomedy play out before the global audience starts to demand new material?
