Episode 323: Monroe Doctrine 2.0: Washington’s War on Latin America: Two centuries after it was first declared, the Monroe Doctrine is alive and dangerous. In this episode, CODEPINK Radio unpacks how the U.S. still uses this colonial relic to justify economic domination, coups, and military buildup across Latin America. Historian Steve Ellner joins us to trace the Doctrine’s evolution from 1823 to today’s hybrid wars. Then, Venezuelan voices on the ground reveal how “Monroe Doctrine 2.0” threatens their sovereignty as the U.S. escalates military operations in the Caribbean.

The US arms the UAE, and the UAE arms the RSF.
The RSF commits genocide in Sudan.
Even after declaring it a genocide, US arm sales to the UAE have increased. pic.twitter.com/pHXYBmAXZp

@codepinkalert Once again, Israel bombs Gaza violating the ceasefire and terrorizing over 2 million people. When will someone in power finally stand up and say enough?

@codepinkalert Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16 year-old Palestinian American from Florida, has been imprisoned by Israel for over 8 months. Tortured, starved, and denied justice. No child should be subjected to this. After massive public pressure, he finally had his first court hearing, but Israel didn't release him. His next hearing is in early November — we must increase the pressure on the U.S. and Israeli governments to release him.
