State dept deletes tweet about Sec. Rubio justifying regime change war in Venezuela after Greenwald quote [replies:](https://x.com/ggreenwald/status/1963677885031707054)
>About to become just the latest in professed MAGA beliefs that are mindlessly discarded to justify support of whatever the Trump Administration does:
>No more regime change wars! (Never mind…)
[GG compared regime change in Venezuela to Bush 41’s policies:](https://x.com/ggreenwald/status/1963678554744615341)
>This is all an exact, verbatim repeat of what Bush 41 did to invade Panama, kill a bunch of Panamanians, and remove from power a former US ally who Bush decided should be overthrown based on drug trafficking allegations.
>What’s the MAGA problem with Bush foreign policy again?
[More GG:](https://x.com/ggreenwald/status/1963602459776921665)
> George Bush 41 justified one of the dumbest US regime wars — in Panama — by claiming its leader, Manuel Noriega (a US ally for years) — was a drug trafficker.
>
> Marco Rubio’s long-time dream has been similar regime change wars in Venezuela and Cuba. That’s what this is for.
Rubio was always Mr. Monroe Doctrine. Monroe doctrine policy is to view S. American countries as somewhat colonies that require permission from the US to conduct their own policies/agendas.
