::I think the Trump Administration is applying the Roosevelt Corollary, a later modification of the Monroe Doctrine. I'm not sure the taking back of loans during the Great Depression is a good example of non-interventionism -- one could say it was an act of interventionism to get involved in the business of giving out overseas loans (after WWI, I think) in the first place. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 09:10, 4 April 2019 (EDT)

:::[[Vox Day]] wrote: "As I observed last year, Syria was a major turning point and will likely mark the end of the global US empire. The fall of Libya and the near-expansion of NATO to Ukraine and Georgia forced the Russians and the Chinese to realize that the time for resistance had finally arrived, and their strategists recognized that the US military is too weak and overextended to be capable of enforcing the Monroe Doctrine. Since the US is almost certain to back down on Venezuela, where its chosen puppet has absolutely no popular support, it is safe to expect US retreats on other fronts as China and Russia start putting on the pressure elsewhere in South and Central America. Remember, China already controls the Panama Canal and has considerable influence on the west coast of Canada."[http://voxday.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-anti-imperial-alliance.html]

:::The USA is overextended and has a massive national debt. "Despite recently closing hundreds of bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad—from giant “Little Americas” to small radar facilities. Britain, France and Russia, by contrast, have about 30 foreign bases combined."[https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/06/us-military-bases-around-the-world-119321]
