What The Donroe Doctrine Means For The Ukraine War I. Rebranding the Global Dynamic On January 3, 2026, the era of global proxy wars officially ended, and the age of Colonial Isolationism began. While the world watched in shock as a surgical U.S. strike force zipped into Caracas to snatch Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores in under an hour, the President was already rebranding 200 years of American foreign policy. "The Monroe Doctrine is a big deal. But we've superseded it by a lot. By a real lot. They now call it the Donroe Doctrine," Trump declared at his Saturday news conference. This is an Under New Management sign for the entire Western Hemisphere, signaling that the U.S. is now the manager of its own domain.

I thought there were more wars on Earth, but after President Trump stopped eight wars in 8 months, some of which had been raging for over a generation he said, “that's it.” meaning there are no more wars other than the Russia Ukraine war to settle and he is still working on that. And how did he settle all cross-border wars on the planet other than the US proxy war with Russia? The author of The Art Of The Deal always uses the same techniques.

In Africa he offered to let our companies come in to exploit their natural resources like rare earth minerals, and some of the people in the 2 countries will get rich, and they will build basic infrastructure like roads and powerplants, and there should hopefully be enough food for everybody, but either way, it is a lot better than constant war. In other countries he uses the techniques of tariff threats. Like when the nuclear powers India and Pakistan were ha...

Why does the United States produce 1 million barrels of oil per day but sell almost all of it unrefined to other countries while at the same time importing 1 million barrels of oil from Canada, Venezuela and the Middle East? And why did Trump drop tariffs on Canadian oil but nothing else Canadian? In the latter case because someone told Trump that most of our oil refineries are set up to only refine heavy sour crude oil and they can't easily be reconfigured to refine light sweet crude, which is mostly what we produce. The United States has some heavy sour crude in the Southwest but we mostly produce just light sweet crude oil which can only be refined into different fuels, whereas heavy sour crude has more sulfur compounds and other impurities, and when those impurities are refined out of the oil they turn into base feedstock chemicals and acids that are used to produce plastics and an enormous amount of chemicals for the manufacturing industry that was created for the United State...
