"President Nicolas Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, are responsible for one of the most dramatic political, economic and humanitarian collapses in modern history, according to a Miami Herald piece (Venezuela left to grapple with wreckage Maduro leaves behind) published Sunday. Both the Bay Area protesters and the Florida revelers are waving Venezuelan flags. My heart lies with the latter, along with the nearly 8 million exiled Venezuelans."
"In true Trump fashion, he reminded us that they now call it the Donroe Doctrine by adding the first letter of his name. It is an important time to consider the subsequent 1904 Roosevelt Corollary, which reinforced a U.S. responsibility to get involved with Latin American countries to prevent European interference, following Venezuela's 1902-3 crisis, in which it refused to pay its debts back to Europe. America would do well to prevent the likes of Russia, China and Iran from developing military capabilities in our backyard."
Bay Area protesters oppose U.S. actions while South Florida residents celebrate U.S. intervention in Venezuela, reflecting divergent diaspora views. Nicolas Maduro and Hugo Chavez bear responsibility for Venezuela's political, economic and humanitarian collapse. Nearly eight million Venezuelans now live in exile. Supporters express hope that President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will improve conditions and restore democratic governance. The invocation of the Monroe Doctrine, nicknamed the "Donroe Doctrine," prompts references to the 1904 Roosevelt Corollary and calls for the United States to prevent European or other foreign powers from gaining military footholds in the hemisphere.
