The Donroe Doctrine and shades of darker ages… |
If you are wondering what the motivation or “logic” might be behind some of the more recent international atrocities it is time to dig deep in the “Doctrines” – the Doctrine of Discovery (1493), the Monroe Doctrine (1823), Manifest Destiny (1843) and most recently the Donroe Doctrine (circa 2025-26) named by US President Donald Trump, after he reached into the annals to try to prop up his administration’s dystopian policies.
