The Monroe Doctrine Isn't What You Think

from Colombia Business News · host Loren Moss

With everything happening in the news regarding U.S.-Venezuela relations, I wanted to clear the air on one of the most misunderstood pieces of foreign policy in history: The Monroe Doctrine.Is the U.S. just a "big bully" in the neighborhood, or has the original intent of James Monroe been lost to time?
