The Monroe Doctrine was adopted by the US in the early 19th century to discourage European powers from interventions in Latin America. It appears to be thriving in the 21st century.
The Times reports:
President Trump has called on Russia to “get out” of Venezuela after it deployed troops and equipment in the crisis-torn country.
American officials said the Russian team that arrived in Caracas at the weekend included cybersecurity personnel and special forces. The 100 officers, one official said, came to Venezuela to prop up President Maduro’s embattled regime and secure investments.
Several tonnes of equipment were seen being unloaded from two Russian planes, an Antonov An-124 and an Ilyushin Il-62, at Caracas airport.
Worrying. Especially as President Trump is no JFK ...
