Trump’s Donroe Doctrine: A Neocolonial Push in Global Power Politics

Truthout argues that Trump’s new National Security Strategy, the Donroe Doctrine, aims to carve out a U.S.-led Western Hemisphere sphere, deploys a high-tech military buildup, and scapegoats migrants to enforce neocolonial dominance while pressuring allies and pursuing deals with rivals like China and Russia; the piece contends this would intensify great-power rivalry, risk new arms races, and undermine global democracy, calling for international solidarity from below against all imperial powers.
