Have you heard of "The Donroe Doctrine"?

Oh this is stupid. It is beyond farce. Yes you read that right--not the Monroe Doctrine but the Donroe Doctrine. Guess who named it that? You'll never figure it out. The Monroe Doctrine was laid out by President James Monroe back in 1823. It stated that European countries would stay out of Latin America and the US would become the dominant power in the Western Hemisphere. President Roosevelt added a caveat to that in 1904 known as the Roosevelt Corollary which stated that the US would intervene in Latin America if countries couldn't manage themselves. And the "Donroe Doctrine"? Who the hell knows what that is. First he started by saying that Canada should become the 51st US state. Then he became fixated on annexing Greenland. Now he's invaded Venezuela and kidnapped their leader as well as simultaneously threatening Colombia, Mexica, and Cuba. The guy is a madman.

I'm going to be honest here. I'm enjoying what he says. It's on purpose to distract those who oppose him just because it's him.

Venezuela is not about distraction. It is about oil.

A madman, you say? What was your first clue? Why, oh why, doesn't Odin send a lightning bolt down and take out him and his entire golden cabinet...

I'm sure Denmark is getting a bit antsy following the invasion of Venezuela.
