Crazy when US empire apologists cite "the Monroe Doctrine" to defend US warmongering in Latin America, as though "the entire western hemisphere is our property" is a perfectly legitimate policy to have.

Crazy when US empire apologists cite "the Monroe Doctrine" to defend US warmongering in Latin America, as though "the entire western hemisphere is our property" is a perfectly legitimate policy to have.
The Monroe Doctrine was just American imperialists telling Europe, "You see all these brown people over here south of our border? These are our brown people. You can do whatever you want to those brown people over there in Africa and Asia, but these brown people over here belong to us. Only we get to dominate and exploit them."
That's all it has ever been, and people cite it to justify warmongering toward Venezuela or wherever as though saying "yeah well that's the Monroe Doctrine" is a complete argument in and of itself. It's bat shit insane nonsense and it should be rejected in its entirety.
US regime change interventionism is reliably disastrous wherever it happens. It always causes immense suffering and instability, it's always justified by lies, and it never accomplishes what its proponents claim it will accomplish. No amount of bleating the words "Monroe Doctrine" will ever change that.
