The US is targeting its next regime, following the swift takeover of Venezuela, and the list includes Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, and even Greenland.
President Trump has made it clear that his "America First" agenda prioritizes interventionism, contradicting his three presidential campaigns' no-war pledge. The Venezuelan operation was a success, with Maduro's arrest and the US claims of control, but now Trump is turning to other countries on its agenda.
Cuba, with its close ties to Venezuela, has been identified as the next target, with Trump stating that it "is ready to fall" and may not require US intervention. However, the possibility of a regime change in Cuba cannot be ruled out, given the country's history of US-backed coups.
Mexico is also under threat, with Trump saying "something's going to have to be done" and even considering sending in special forces. The president has made numerous threats against Mexico, citing its alleged ties to drug cartels and demanding that the government "get their act together".
Colombia is another country on the list, with Trump stating that its President Gustavo Petro is "sick" due to his alleged cocaine dealings. While Trump expressed openness to a military operation, it remains unclear whether such action would occur.
Greenland, a semiautonomous Danish territory, has also been thrown into the mix, with Trump claiming that it is essential for national security and threatening Denmark with annexation. The move has sparked an international outcry from Denmark, which maintains that the US has no right to take control of Greenland.
Despite having run three presidential campaigns on a no-war pledge, Trump's agenda remains focused on interventionism, contradicting his earlier claims. The Venezuelan operation was just the beginning, and it is unclear whether Maduro's regime will be allowed to stay in power or if Trump will order further action.
The administration has shown little regard for opposition voices and instead appears to be pushing forward with its plans, citing Venezuela as an example of how to "make the country great again". The stakes are high, given the potential for chaos and instability in these countries.
