Monroe Doctrine was non-intervention by the Euros or the US.

Roosevelt Corollary reserved the right to intervene. Part of the big stick blue water navy we now recognize as the main agent of our global hegemony.

China, Russia, and Iran had established bases of operations in Venezuela. So this absolutely is an example of the Monroe Doctrine. The regime was allowing foreign powers to use a base of operations in the Western Hemisphere to target the USA.

Back then only the Euros were capable of over-seas colonization. Its semantics to say it doesnt apply to the modern day equivalent of 1800s European power (China)

Monroe was a slave holder from Virginia. Everything he ever said/did is invalid.

But we can allow nearly all of the manufactured goods driving our stock markets to come from China without issue? We start wars to take shite and spend missile money for big defense donors. The rest is just lipstick on the pig.

I remember all of Latin America throwing the Monroe Doctrine in our face when Margaret Thatcher took the Falklands back. I didn't give a shite.

Agree with Boosie, and the irony here is kind of perfect given the title of the thread.

It’s a little funny watching people complain that Americans don’t understand the Monroe Doctrine while actively demonstrating they don’t know what it says, what it allows, or if/why the Roosevelt Corollary even exists.

Kamala would have been praised as a bold, brave, leader cleaning up the world and saving the children. "Building on the success of the Monroe Doctrine was brilliant on the part of Madam President who has stated there is much more to do. Aides say she hasn't left the War Room for three days."
