In barely 15 months, Donald Trump's actions — from wars on Iran and Venezuela to trade and energy maneuvers — have upended international norms and made the U.S. a central driver of global instability. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/04/08/world/trump-global-order-demolition/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #us #donaldtrump #iran #cuba #venezuela #panamacanal #greenland #theodoreroosevelt #un #who #middleeast #monroedoctrine

"The post-war rules-based international order did not deter the US from imposing its will on weaker neighbours."
Never did, never will.
"So could it be that President Trump's re-interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine is simply part of a continuum in US foreign policy?"
Oh, ya think?

"The meaning of the Venezuela intervention [in addition to the dual oil agenda], then, is to demonstrate, and enact, supreme dominance of the US regime and US capital....
"Trump represents a return to an undisguised imperialism, captured in the aphorism I conquer, therefore I am, as Descartes should really have said."

The inspiration is the 19th cent #MonroeDoctrine that prioritized #USsupremacy in the #WesternHemisphere & which #Trump has embraced & renamed the “#DonroeDoctrine.”
Experts say that while the revival of this playbook may have unnerved some #US #allies, it could also serve the interests of #Russia, locked in a war in #Ukraine, a former Soviet republic, & #China, which has long had its sights set on #Taiwan.

Trump has openly pledged to revive the 1823 #MonroeDoctrine, first articulated by US President James Monroe to combat not only European interference in the Western hemisphere but also the growth of independence led by people such as #SimónBolívar, one of Latin America’s greatest heroes.
His call for a “Trump Corollary” (do what it takes to enforce the Doctrine) signals the US aim to restore old oligarchies across the hemisphere.

#Trump’s former #Russia adviser says Russia offered US free rein in #Venezuela in exchange for #Ukraine
"The Kremlin will be 'thrilled' with the idea that large countries — such as Russia, the United States and China — get spheres of influence because it proves 'might makes right,' " - Fiona Hill.
By EMMA BURROWS, January 6, 2026
"Russian officials indicated in 2019 that the Kremlin would be willing to back off from its support for #NicolásMaduro in Venezuela in exchange for a free hand in Ukraine, according to #FionaHill, an adviser to President Donald Trump at the time.
"The Russians repeatedly floated the idea of a 'very strange swap arrangement between Venezuela and Ukraine,' Hill said during a congressional hearing in 2019. Her comments surfaced again this week and were shared on social media after the U.S. stealth operation to capture Maduro.
"Hill said Russia pushed the idea through articles in Russian media that referenced the #MonroeDoctrine — a 19th century principle in which the U.S. opposed European meddling in the Western Hemisphere and in return agreed to stay out of European affairs. It was invoked by Trump to justify the #USIntervention in Venezuela."

#BernieSanders: US Attack on #Venezuela Is Rank #Imperialism
This brazen violation of international law gives a green light to any nation on earth that may wish to attack another country to seize their resources or change their governments.
by Bernie Sanders, January 3, 2026
"Donald Trump has, once again, shown his contempt for the #Constitution and the rule of law. The President of the United States does NOT have the right to unilaterally take this country to war, even against a corrupt and brutal dictator like Maduro. The United States does NOT have the right, as Trump stated this morning, to 'run' Venezuela. Congress must immediately pass a #WarPowers resolution to end this illegal military operation and reassert its constitutional responsibilities.
"Trump’s attack on Venezuela will make the #UnitedStates and the world less safe. This brazen violation of international law gives a green light to any nation on earth that may wish to attack another country to seize their #resources or change their governments. This is the horrific logic of force that #Putin used to justify his brutal attack on #Ukraine.
"Trump and his administration have often said they want to revive the #MonroeDoctrine, claiming the United States has the right to dominate the affairs of the hemisphere. They have spoken openly about controlling Venezuela’s oil reserves, the largest in the world. This is rank imperialism. It recalls the darkest chapters of #USInterventions in #LatinAmerica, which have left a terrible legacy. It will and should be condemned by the democratic world.
Trump campaigned for president on an '#AmericaFirst' platform. He claimed to be the 'peace candidate.' At a time when 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, when our #healthcare system is collapsing, when people cannot afford #housing and when #AI threatens millions of jobs, it is time for the president to focus on the crises facing this country and end this #MilitaryAdventurism abroad. Trump is failing in his job to 'run' the United States. He should not be trying to 'run' Venezuela."

White House discussing "range of options" for acquiring #Greenland, including U.S. military takeover by force, Leavitt says
By Gabrielle Ake,
Updated on: January 6, 2026Excerpt: "Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark, has once again become a point of heated international discussion, after White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told CNN on Monday it's 'the formal position of the U.S. government ... that Greenland should be part of the United States,' and after Mr. Trump this weekend said the U.S. needs Greenland.
"Denmark has long rebuffed the Trump administration's interest in Greenland, reiterating that rebuke this week. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said an American military move to seize control of Greenland would amount to the end of the NATO military alliance. Denmark is a NATO member, and NATO's Article 5 states that if a NATO ally suffers an armed attack, all members will consider it an attack on them as well and do what they need to aid the attacked nation.
" 'If the United States chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops,' Frederiksen told local media on Monday. 'That is, including our NATO, and thus the security that has been provided since the end of the Second World War.' "

The List of Countries #Trump Is Threatening With War Keeps Growing
President Donald Trump campaigned on the promise of getting out of foreign wars. He keeps talking about starting more of them.
by Jonah Valdez, January 6 2026
"President Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed 'Peace President,' detonated his own #AmericaFirst campaign promise of '#NoNewWars' over the weekend with an act of war in Venezuela.
The U.S. military attacked Venezuela early Saturday morning, abducting its leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who now face narco-terrorism charges in a New York federal court. Eighty Venezuelan and Cuban citizens were killed by U.S. gunfire and airstrikes.
"At least one U.S. missile struck an apartment building in the port city of Catia La Mar, killing an 80-year-old woman as she slept, seriously injuring another and displacing residents, according to The Associated Press. Trump described the attack as 'successful' and 'perfectly executed.'
A growing number of legal experts and lawmakers have called Saturday’s bombing of Venezuela and the abduction of Maduro illegal under both international law and the U.S. Constitution."And yet, the Trump administration is already threatening further military action against Venezuela and other sovereign nations in pursuit of his so-called '#DonroeDoctrine,' the refashioning of the 1823 #MonroeDoctrine, which American leaders with #imperialist ambitions have used to justify #USOccupations across #LatinAmerica throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
" 'Under our new national security strategy, American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again,' Trump said Saturday at a press conference following the attack on Venezuela. 'Under the Trump administration, we are reasserting American power in a very powerful way in our home region.'
"Though Trump campaigned on the promise of ending foreign wars, even before the attack on Venezuela, his second term has been defined by a ruthless and interventionist approach.
He has already ordered military strikes in #Iran, #Iraq, #Nigeria, #Somalia, #Syria and #Yemen. Before abducting Maduro, the U.S. military attacked a Venezuelan port, and killed more than 100 civilians in bombings in the #CaribbeanSea and #PacificOcean. In addition, Trump continues to arm #Israel as it violates the ceasefire with Hamas, grinding the #genocide in #Gaza into a third year.
Mere hours before the U.S. bombed Venezuela on Saturday, Trump threatened to attack Iran over its violent crackdowns on protesters, writing on social media that the U.S. is 'locked and loaded and ready to go.'"And since carrying out Venezuela raid, the Trump administration has taken aim at Cuba and #Colombia, hinted at intervention in #Mexico, renewed annexation aspirations in #Greenland, and reiterated threats to Iran."

It simply won't work, and people will suffer because of that.
Replacing the language of Colonialism with that of Techno-Libertarianism won't fool the people into thinking this is just more of the same.https://goodauthority.org/news/what-happens-now-in-venezuela-and-the-world/

Trump’s Frightening, Illegal Attack. And Words To Match
Trump’s Frightening, Illegal Attack. And Words To Match
The warmongering moves of a US president
By Liza Donnelly, Jan 03, 2026
“We know that Mr. Trump’s warmongering violates the law.”
—NY Times Editorial Board.Last night, Trump ordered an invasion of Venezuela. In an operation that was apparently planned for months, the U.S. military stormed Venezuela and kidnapped President Maduro and his wife. They’re being taken to New York. Casualities of Venezuelans is not know, apparently no Americans were harmed.
My head hurts. My heart hurts.
The bottom line is, Trump plans to “run” Venezuela, he said so in the press conference just now. Haven’t we learned our lesson? How can this be justified as legal? What will Congress do, can this be grounds for impeachment? How do MAGA supporters feel about this?
I just watched Trump’s press conference so you don’t have to. Here are some key things that I heard and was able to write down. It went on for an hour, so I did not catch a lot, but had my ears were tuned for what I thought to be significant statements.
Trump:
“So we are going to run the country until a transition takes place. We can’t take a chance of anyone else taking over. We’re there now. We’re going to run it until a proper transition can take place. We want to mke Venuzeual rich, independant and safe.”
“The Monroe docrine is a big deal, but we’ve superceded it.”
Pete Hegseth spoke with bravado, swagger and his ususl dramatic tv voice. About Maduro, he said,
“He f-around and he found out.”
“This is America first, this is peace through strength. America is back.”
Gen Dan Caine, Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff spoke in incredible detail about the operation, naming all the planes and systems and machines and technical stuff, as if trying to show how great this country is with such things. In fact it was said by Trump and Hegseth, bragging about our military prowess. Caine said we are claiming “the power of American force.”
Marco Rubio: “This president is a president of action.”
When asked if Congress was notified, he said, “It’s not the kind of mission you can pre-notify. This is a Congress that leaks.”
Trump:
“With me you’ve only had victories. No losses.”
“We’re in the oil business now.”
“What Joe Biden did to this country should never be forgotten. If they had won, we would now be Venezuela on steroids.”
“We will run it properly and will bring in the biggest oil companies in there.”
Asked about running the country could be for a long time: “Its not going to cost us anything. Theres a lot of money in the ground.”
“The money is going to the Venezuelans. And we will be reimbursed.”
“The people behind me will be running the country.” i.e.Rubio, Hegseth, Steven Miller (who said nothing. Why was he there?)
“We are not afraid of boots on the ground.”
It’s all about money.
Listening to all these white men speak, it’s all about men being tough.
When a reporter asked Trump about China and Russia, his response was “we are in the oil business now.” This means that Trump will try to leverage power as he controls all the oil in Venezuela.
I didn’t plan to write about politics today, and I don’t usually write much about international issues. But this is about Trump, it is too important.
Of course I feel for the Venezuelan people, they were ruled by a horrible person, Maduro. A friend of mine had to leave her country of Venezuela a couple of years ago. Rayma Suprani is a political cartoonist and was very critical of the government, plus she’s gay. She was harassed and her life threatened incessantly, so she had to leave for her own safety. She now lives in Florida.
But I strongly believe that we should not get involved with regime change–I know we have in the past. We don’t take over countries and decide to “run them” without their permission. With the kind of actions as Trump ordered last night, it then is justifiable for Putin to go in and arrest Zelenskyy, for Xi JinPing to take over Taiwan.
This is not about human rights, it’s about power and money.
So, happy Saturday. I hope you are able to enjoy your weekend. We’re going out to a movie for a change!
I am grateful that you are here. See you tomorrow!
