My favourite quote is "We're not going to allow the Western Hemisphere to be used as a base of operation for our nation's adversaries". Apparently the United States' jurisdiction now covers the entire hemisphere.
I personally thought calling upon the Monroe doctrine to invade a nation in the western hemisphere and take over their resources was a tad ironic, but I'm no expert on foreign policy.
The common thing between countries and men is that all of them are not created equal. It is absolutely not ironic. The US view has been consistent that there is only one power in the western hemisphere and that is US. The US has the economy and military to make the others agree with them.

Always has. Monroe doctrine is not new.

Sadly, very true
Do none of these people ever listen to themselves and wonder, "Wait... are we the bad guys?"
This is not the United States I grew up in.
