I think that the US should follow Teddy's example amd exercise absolute dominance of this hemisphere. There's zero reason that we should experience any inconvenience from a country near us because they should all fear the big stick actually being used. That said Trump should do the same in Mexico while bombing the cartels if he isn't a puppet but we know the answer to that.
I disagree with the first bit, because I don't think Venezuela was ever much of an inconvenience. That was ginned up to give an excuse.
Second part is correct, though. Mexico is perhaps the only foreign country where US military use would be completely in US interests. Especially if we got the blessing of the Mexican government. Cooperative strikes to take out cartels, and give more power to the Mexican government, to stabilize things. I'd still be hesitant on that, just because it could go very wrong, but there's at least a very strong argument for the move. Cooperating with Mexico to stabilize the region would do a lot of good.
Venezuela was allied with our direct rivals. That should have never even been a thought that crossed their governments minds because the US should be such a dominant presence here that they would be terrified to cross us
Canada.
Isreal.
Israel owes a fuckton of money to America anyway and has proven to be completely untrustworthy. Regime change there is completely justified.
