Why Venezuela? For the correct answer, we must return to the beginning. And it began with the Mexican War (1846–1848), after which Arizona, California, Texas, Nevada and Utah returned to the womb, and missing fragments of fresh Mexico, Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming. This allowed the movie manufacture to make in Los Angeles, in Los Alamos, a atomic arsenal, and in Las Vegas, the Institute of Behavioral Addiction Research. Cost: 27 1000 Mexican funerals. Result: Latin trauma and anti-Americanism, American pride, fear and hostility (excited by authoritative factors today).
Why isn't all Mexico attached? due to the fact that Washington would gotta grant citizenship to 10 million ancestors of today's illegal immigrants, who could settle in armed states without visas, which would have made no sense again. And the Marines inactive sing “From the Halls of Montezuma...” to commemorate the capture of the Chapultepec fortress. General Winfield Scott conquered the capital of the country in 1847, previously landing 10,000 troops south of Veracruz in a bravado, highly innovative and complex logistical operation. The largest landing operation until the invasion of Normandy in 1944. They had Mexico on their knees, but all the blood went in the sand.
After a long break for the civilian War and the final solution to the Indian issue, the circular of "Banana Wars" began in 1898, which lasted until 1934. Cuba went on the first fire in 1898, or actually Spain, of which Cuba was a colony. For the first time in history, the "yellow press" belonging to 2 paper tycoons Hearst and Pulitzer performed a monstrous escalation of the tension leading to the explosion. It was from their legacy that Joachim Ribbentrop's "Der Stürmer" 40 years later.
Thanks to the beating of the imperialists from Madrid, the USA besides took charge of Puerto Rico and built a base in Guantánamo. The political and economical control over Cuba had to be strengthened respective times by intervention for "maintainment of order and independence", that is, the production of sugar by North American Sugar Industries and the safety of Texaco and Esso oil wells. It ended with a grotesque invasion in the Bay of Pigs (the last filibuster expedition) of 1961, resulting in the acceleration of Havana's alliance with Moscow and the 1962 rocket crisis.
In 1903, the United States began (from the Panama civilian War from Colombia) many armed interventions to control the Panama Canal, lasting until 1930. And inactive in 1989, George H.W. Bush ordered Operation Just origin to extort General Manuel Noriega of the Apostolic Nunciature. Today, the White home proclaims its desire to return to that tradition. Nicaragua enjoyed the American business from 1912 to 1933. And although triumph over partisan Augusto Sandino seemed final, the Hydra was reborn in 1979. Following the nationalization of banana plantations, the Standard Fruit Company Washington broke diplomatic relations with Managua and sanctioned it. Meanwhile, backing for the right-wing partisans ended in Iran-Contras.
Haiti remained under the jurisdiction of Washington from 1914 to 1934, and after the end of the conquist sank into permanent destabilization; until the anarchy we are witnessing today. vicinity Dominican Republic experienced American patronage from 1916 to 1924. 22,000 U.S. soldiers had to return to the island in 1965, in connection with the April Revolution, which was considered a communist threat (four 1000 angel troops). As part of the hot episodes of the Cold War, a 100 CIA agents visited Guatemala in 1954 due to the fact that president Jacobo Árbenza Guzmán
He had embarked on agricultural improvement at the expense of the United Fruit Company and installed a military dictatorship. Effect: Thirty-six-year-old civilian war (200,000 graves). In 1983, however, we had to intervene in Grenada to reconstruct the American ideals of freedom.
The marines did not personally visit El Salvador during the civilian War (1980–1992). president Ronald Reagan, along with Congress, sent over a billion dollars of military and economical aid to San Salvador, as well as military advisers and “trainers” from the CIA. Against the leftist partisans of the National Liberation Front (Frente Farabundo Martí de Liberación Nacional – FMLN), professional trained death squadrons were sent, specified as the Atlacatl Battalion liable for the El Mozote massacre. However, in Honduras, the armed forces of American bananas were defended six times in the years 1903, 1907, 1911, 1912, 1919 and 1924. Tegucigalpa besides had to find herself in the American universe, guaranteeing the political, moral, military and commercial leadership of Washington.
The United States is gathering more and more forces close the Venezuelan coast. Pictured by USS Gerald R. Ford
Who is missing from this fine group? Yes! Venezuela! Casus belli? Drug trafficking, which has been combated so far by police kind formations, has proved to be of besides small importance to justify the delegation of aircraft carrier Gerard Ford and the monstrous combat armistice he surrounded since president Donald Trump returned to the old U.S. phrase subject "all the oil, land and another assets they stole from us".
Who's waiting for looted property? The list is long: ExxonMobil & ConocoPhillips, General Motors and Ford, Kellogg’s and Kimberly-Clark, Bridgestone and Goodyear, Mondelez and Colgate-Palmolive, Pepsico and Mattel. Chevron was the only 1 who succeeded with peculiar licenses from the Treasury Department. The company has approval to keep minimum production and maintenance of equipment, but exports extracted in Venezuela of oil are only possible to the US. Chevron operations are officially off-block. And who is the main, though hidden behind intermediaries, the recipient (locked) of Venezuelan oil sucked out of the ground by the state-owned PDVSA company? You guessed. China.
It is characteristic that Washington has resigned from justifying aggression by firing acts, specified as protecting human rights, even. The authoritative goal is no longer to advance democracy, that is, to lead Grandma across the street, even erstwhile she does not want to. To tell you the truth, the sound of the genociety sanitation was always just a formal liturgical exercise, to which no of the participants and observers felt peculiar attachment.
In fact, Henry Kissinger, an unsurpassed diplomacy model, affirmed this by defending questionable choices: “Somoza may be a boy of a bitch, but he's our boy of a bitch.” Yes, the dictator of Nicaragua Anastasio Somoza García was a boy of a bitch. Richard Nixon's secretary of state, calling him by his name, most likely wanted to express his longing for the promotion of decent democracy, but specified is hard to find outside Europe. Noble nostalgia had to bow before the “realpolitik”. If our killer loses to their killers, which is Sandinists, we'll have another Cuba under our noses. “No pasarán!” as Dolores Ibárruri said, defending Madrid from fascists for communists.
President James Monroe's 1823 message (criticized by the battalions of European luminaries from Clement Von Metternich to Nikita Khrushchev) again present is the foundation of Washington's abroad policy. His ideas fix can be shortened to the slogan “America for Americans”. All of America, actually. All three. The reading of the latest "US National safety Strategy" is unfortunately a trailer for returning to this postulate. The records on strengthening the economical and political partnership of the Western Hemisphery and ensuring stableness and safety for its countries bring fresh complications.
Monroe saw no request to justify his doctrine. He only wrote how to be. In view of the intensification of emancipation movements, a deeper alibi for the civilizational allegate was sought. They were found in 1845 by John O'Sullivan, a modest writer born on November 15, 1813 in the mediate of the Atlantic during an immigration cruise from Ireland. He proclaimed “Manifest Destiny” which in Polish sounds best as “Revealed Destiny”.
This technological argument was armed with an ideology forcing American hegemony in the region (and with it diplomatic, militant, agentural and eclectic interventions). From the minute of the joyful capture of the revelation by legislature and the presidents (up to and including Kennedy, which may be a small embarrassing for some), the Manifest Destiny served as the foundation of American home and abroad politics. The present user of the oval cabinet seems to share (although with a small cynicism) the accreditation of divine intervention. Therefore, the missionary ontological aspect is worth taking seriously.
And he had and inactive has millions of followers who are besides looking beyond authoritative politics and national institutions. And what else, but "citizen's diplomacy", was the Capitol assault after Trump's loss? The filibuster expeditions (from Spanish filibusteros, meaning pirates) should besides be entered in this register. By definition, it is unauthorized, private-funded military expeditions to a abroad country to incite or support the political revolution, secession or acquisition of control. The Philistines acted without authoritative approval, although the Capitol and the White home had nothing against the private expansion of the president and his administration in devoting the story of "American way of life" with all its consequences.
Citizen diplomats, fulfilling the main post of Manifest Destiny, held guerrilla raids in Latin America and the Caribbean. 1 of them, William Walker, even declared himself king of Nicaragua in the mid-19th century, though the monarchial dream lasted briefly. Surprisingly, the divinity of his own destiny even believed in his influence. In 1848 O’Sullivan took part in the Philipbuster expedition of Narciso Lopez to Cuba. They all violated global and American neutrality laws. After all, above the letters of the Codex, the spirit of laws allowing "minor" scum in the name of the large good, namely the expulsion of European colonists and then the prevention of imports of left-wing revolutions.
The Manifest Destiny specifically stated that the white settlers who created the United States were designated by God for territorial expansion from the Atlantic to the Pacific and between poles to advance democracy, freedom and capitalism. This was a logical and coherent justification for the imperative of conquering Native American lands. It is not clear whether the Most advanced predicted the placing of savages in the reserves and the extermination of buffaloes, but for certain the final solution was closed. Just as the Order of the infirmary of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the German home civilized the Baltic tribes of Prussia and Żmud and Lithuania, so the white Puritans taught red-skinned prayers and whisky drinking. That is how God helped them.
The American and Israelis and Poles share their conviction of their uniqueness, which most likely determines the model cooperation of 3 nations, although not in a triangle alternatively than in bilateral connections with Washington. specified a natural law should prompt the ecclesiastical nations to whom, as pagan idols, The eternal did not promise anything, for the utmost care. The Yankee neighbors should, for their part, adopt a Russian idiom that would sound something like this in English: "A chicken is not a bird, Cuba is not a broad".
