But, you know, it was that policy for years, particularly during the Cold War,

that saw the United States do essentially this, they treated every right wing leader as a friend and every left wing leader as a foe, fearing that communism through these left wing presidents was gonna lead to, you know,

the Red Scare across the Western Hemisphere.

So we back some really bad people.

I mean, we back Pinochet.

We back folks in Central America and South America that abused their people, committed all kinds of human rights abuses.

You know, so when you talk about, like, he's talking about the Monroe Doctrine and going back to that, you're talking about going back to a policy that's decades old that led to

many people getting killed, mass migration, civil war, all of these things.

But to answer your question, beyond the Venezuela War Powers Resolution, which we're going to refile soon, I think that you'll also see other resolutions with respect to Greenland, similar resolutions with respect to Greenland, Mexico, Colombia, and so forth.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, you ask a great question.

Where would it come from?

Well, in theory, it's going to come from the taxpayers.

American taxpayers are going to have to pay these hundreds of billions of dollars.

And remember, I've seen the figure about $115 billion just for the oil industry in Venezuela.

But you're talking about Colombia.

You're talking about Greenland.

Maybe Mexico, he threatened Panama over the canal issues.

So I mean, that $115 billion is for one industry in one country.

If you go do all these countries, you're definitely talking about trillions of dollars.
