Keep telling yourself this. We haven’t seen the end result.And we won’t for years…

There's a huge difference in occupying a country to 'stop globalism' vs taking out a dictator complicit in many humanitarian violations.
Just to get back to what you said, though, you brought up Iran/China/Russia and their influence in Venezuela. That "anti-globalist" cooperation did not require that military action.
So those four cooperating, logically, would be to "fight globalism" and our military strikes (whatever term you want to use to describe them) becomes precarious within the malleable concepts of "globalism"
Like I said, Iran is another quagmire for the term/concept, because it doesn't get more "globalist" than the Shah of Iran, and the mullahs' revolution (and Carter's policies) were aimed at rejecting that globalism.

Just more evidence on how we need to remain active in world affairs. We are the worlds leader. We control stuff.
Trust me, there WILL ALWAYS BE a "world leader". WE DO NOT want China or Iran or Russia or someone else to be it.
I agree with every word of that post.
However, the cult members have spent years now slurring, "Muh 'Merca 'Fust," which to them means isolationism. If ANYBODY else had done or suggested what Trump just did, their heads would have exploded and they would have accused them of trying to "start WWIII for profit."
Secondly, just because I support the US "remaining active in world affairs," that doesn't mean I support the US doing anything or everything. I'm usually willing to give the benefit of the doubt when it comes to military actions against countries that legitimately threaten US welfare (even tangentially), but I'm struggling to understand the motivations and significance of this move.
Lastly, Trump seems to have embraced significantly more mechanisms of career politicians this time around. It's an interesting presidency so far. On one hand he is doing some "anti-establishment" things that nobody else would do, more so than his first term. On the other hand, he's clearly evolved as a politician and his rhetoric is less trustworthy all the time.
The one thing I am certain of is that this has nothing to do with drugs.

No, that's today. Opposing Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere is 100% America 1st. It's a shame that you've maneuvered yourself into a corner where you have to pretend to be this dumb.

The Chinese have car mfg plants in mexico.

So why isnt Trump doing what you pretend he is doing?

"Officially" any way. All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. Globalist Overlords own it ALL. But they always need a bogeyman, updated scripts and "twists" in the narrative.
Please acclimate yourself with 'UN Agenda 2030' or the Antarctic Treaty. It is the same source and levers of money & control that control and guide the world agenda and redefine your notion of "Globalism".

Military action isn’t “globalist” by definition. It’s a tool. Labeling US military action in our hemispehre as “globalism” confuses semantics with strategy.

Hmmm....pretty big dots.
So the Monroe Doctrine obviously doesn't apply in these cases?? How would Caroline Levett address this dilemma?

Anything is possible.
Somebody is gonna have to pull up the original MD doc along with any alterations / adulterations and parse it.
Of course what no one is taking into account is the context of a fledgling American nation the early 1800s vs its imperial counterpart of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Maybe so. But South America is a massive continent, stretching thousands of miles nearly to Antarctica.
The nagging question I have, and I'll repeat it again: IF the US were truly concerned about Chinese influence, then why has President Trump just ok'd 500,000 Chinese student to "study" at America colleges and universities?
For that matter, WHY are Chinese nationals allowed to buy American farmland and millions of prime acreage? Seems to be contradictory policy, counter to preventing "influence" in our own "hemisphere" -- within our own backyard.

I think the Middle East will be fighting wars into perpetuity. If the current regime in Iran — a common enemy to Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Israel — is defeated, it won’t be long until these factions turn on themselves over who controls the puppet leader put into place.
It is insane for the United States to attempt to pick winners and losers in these ancient sectarian rivalries. All the more reason to extract ourselves militarily from the godforsaken hell hole once and for all.

Tears of laughter at Trump fanboys such as you who utterly humiliate themselves.

Or is it more to do with keeping China, Russia, and Iran from gaining traction in our hemisphere?
I’ll post again.
This is brilliant! Taking a global perspective, China has repeatedly declared that they are going to take Taiwan by force. Russia and Iran continue to threaten world War 3 or global Jihad. North Korea provides weapons and troops and a credible nuclear delivery capability.
So, you have to take the threats seriously. You have to get ready for war above all else, or prevent it if possible. So you, go on the offensive and strengthen your supply and communications lines. You first have to get the threat removed from your own shores. You deport the people that your enemies have placed in this country.
South American Socialists aligned with Russia and China, AND Muslims aligned with Iran. Also the US, at all costs must secure safe passage of oil. Venezuela is key to ALL objectives. Installing the duly elected President and supporting her flips the game in the Western Hemisphere.
Removing Iran as a threat changes the game in the middle East. Killing the Iran supported Muslim militias in Nigeria and preserving oil from there is a checkmate for global oil supplies. Look for special forces operations there next.
Bringing Putin to the bargaining table could completely isolate China (a long shot because the European Union us controlled by useful idiots) - a China with a fictitious economy and not enough oil to drive AI AND lithium effort. production and sustain a potentual multi front war effort.
The game is officially on NOW, and China knows it. Everything will now move faster now…
