President Donald Trump just made it clear that he already has his eyes set on a new target following the US’s capture of the president of Venezuela. During a press conference on Saturday, he urged Colombian President Gustavo Petro to ‘watch his ass.’ The threat marks a dramatic escalation in tensions across Latin America, with Trump openly invoking the Monroe Doctrine to assert US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

        My friend don’t take this as benevolent by the US. If they get it their way nothing good is coming for Venezuela

        If your country didn’t float on oil the US wouldn’t have given half a shit. I’m glad there are Venezuelans who enjoy being a colony (again) and seeing their country plundered and pillaged while having the exact same small amount of personal liberty they had before.
