Chaos: The Trump Doctrine For Latin America
Authored by Roger D. Harris via AntiWar.com,
The US, under Trump, is unapologetically an empire operating without pretense. International law is for losers. A newly minted War Department, deploying the most lethal killing machine in world history, need not hide behind the sham of promoting democracy. Recall that in 2023 Trump boasted: “When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over, we would have gotten all that oil.” As CEO of the capitalist bloc, Trump's mission is not about to be restrained by respect for sovereignty. There is only one inviolate global sovereign; all others are subalterns.
Venezuela – with our oil under its soil – is now in the crosshairs of the empire. Not only does Venezuela possess the largest petroleum reserves, but it also has major gold, coltan, bauxite, and nickel deposits. Of course, the world's hegemon would like to get its hands all that mineral wealth.

'Latin American Kuwait'? Trump's Looming War In The Caribbean Might Have Nothing To Do With Narco-Terrorism
Why is President Trump amassing such overwhelming US firepower in the Caribbean? We previously wrote that the clock is ticking on Washington's looming anti-Maduro action - as the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier arrived in Caribbean waters Tuesday after Trump ordered it to depart the Mediterranean where it was on a scheduled patrol. A commander-in-chief doesn't typically spend weeks and even months building up dozens of naval assets and 10,000 troops in typically uneventful waters like the Caribbean, unless he intends to do something big. To wit, Trump's June strike on Iran's nuclear facilities included a fraction of the Caribbean buildup.
"The United States only has 11 carriers, three are at sea at any one time," said CSIS analyst and former US military colonel Mark Cancian. "So, moving one of them into the Caribbean is very significant, it does a couple of t...
