The return of the Monroe Doctrine
President Trump has escalated threats against Venezuela, claiming that any country accused of drug trafficking could face US military action. Venezuela is increasingly portrayed as a target, not because of drugs, but because it holds the world’s largest oil reserves.
US actions in the Caribbean, including an attack on a vessel allegedly linked to Venezuela, signal a dangerous shift from rhetoric to force. Survivors of that incident were reportedly killed, an act that violates international law and the Pentagon’s own war manual.
This incident reflects growing brutality and a willingness to ignore legal and moral boundaries. At the same time, Washington frames its actions as part of a fight against drug trafficking.
Trump’s administration now openly revives the Monroe Doctrine, asserting US dominance over Latin America. Together, these developments suggest a deliberate build-up toward possible military interference. The central question remains whether an attack on Venezuela is approaching or still being calculated.
