#Iran strikes on #CIA facilities prompt questions about possible #Russia role

Iranian drone attacks on CIA facilities in the Gulf have prompted #US #intelligence analysts to investigate whether Russia assisted by providing targeting information or ​advanced drone technology, said 4 people familiar with US intelligence.

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.

Hurlburt cited a retired #US general who viewed the #Trump White House move in #Venezuela & its fixation on #Greenland as reminiscent of teenagers playing the geostrategic board game Risk.

“Once you start down the road of the #MonroeDoctrine or the #DonroeDoctrine, or whatever we’re saying now, you look at a map of the #WesternHemisphere, & there is Greenland,” she said.

#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."
