Update (01-05-26): We connect the dots between the Donroe Doctrine and a hostile takeover of Venezuela in our new article, “Maduro Was Not Arrested for Drugs. He Was Removed for Oil and the Money Trail Leads Straight to Trump and Corporate Beneficiaries.”

Stunning developments violating laws and conducted in secrecy with no notice to Congress. Trump’s remarks make it clear that other countries are at risk of the same if they don’t align with his agenda. He promises to help the people there, but the devastation to the American people makes him untrustworthy. The propaganda and aggressiveness is mindblowing. Country by country will be his focus to assert himself as dictator, not just at home. The Generals are all in. I believe it was Miller’s voice saying that Trump will do everything he has promised to do and he can’t understand why we don’t get it. Iran will probably be next. They call this America First. Big Tech was in the middle of all this with their “precise” accomplishments. It is entirely unsettling as it forces us to get a broader perspective—more dangerous than before.

It's noted that just last month, Senator Lindsey Graham said that while he supports aggressive action against Nicolás Maduro, any sustained U.S. military operation or effort to remove a foreign head of state would require congressional authorization under Article I of the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, and should not be carried out by the executive branch alone.
