Donroe Policy: The Protectorate Is Here
By Carlos J. Pérez Pulido · ISHEA Institute ·
At Mar-a-Lago on 3 January 2026, Trump said it plainly: “We're going to run it.” The piece reads that sentence as the Monroe Doctrine returning in the shape of an economic protectorate.

Original piece in Spanish.
🧨 #DONROEPOLICY: THE PROTECTORATE IS HERE
“We’re going to run it.”
— Donald J. Trump, January 3, 2026
En Mar-a-Lago, Trump hizo oficial lo que muchos no querían escuchar:
> “My administration has superseded the Monroe Doctrine, sometimes referred to as the Donroe Document.”
No es retórica.
No es improvisación.
Es doctrina.
#WHAT NOBODY'S REPORTING:
#DelcyRodríguez isn't the transition.
She's on an ultimatum.
Conditions:
✅ Open all archives (Cartel de los Soles)
✅ Reveal all accounts (stolen billions)
✅ Expose all networks (Cuba, Hezbollah, ELN)
Timeline: 15 days maximum.
If she doesn't: removed, prosecuted.
If she does: temporary admin only (wants intel directly in ground control)
🇻🇪 WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT
“According to aligned operational disclosures…”
Operation Absolute Resolve
Más de 150 aeronaves desde 20 bases
Ataques coordinados aire-mar-tierra
Maduro y su esposa capturados
Trasladados al USS Iwo Jima
Cero bajas estadounidenses
Trump lo definió así:
> “An assault like people have not seen since World War II.”
THE GERMANY ANALOGY:
Post-Maduro Venezuela = Post-Hitler Germany
Problem isn't just removing dictator.
It's the society he poisoned.
My source:
" El tuétano está roído."
🛢️ THE LINE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
Trump no habló de transición democrática.
Habló de administración directa:
> “We’re going to run it, essentially, until such time as a proper transition can take place.”
Y añadió:
> “It won’t cost us anything.
The money coming out of the ground is very substantial.”
Traducción clara:
Ocupación militar: ✅
Petróleo como financiamiento: ✅
Empresas petroleras estadounidenses regresan: ✅
Plazo de salida: ❌
Esto no es regime change.
Es un protectorate.
👤 WHO LEADS? NOT WHO YOU THINK
#MaríaCorinaMachado, Trump:
> “She doesn’t have the respect needed to to exert control over Venezuela's armed forces."
Mensaje implícito:
La oposición no decide
Washington sí
Próximo liderazgo será funcional, no simbólico.
🌎 THE DONROE DOCTRINE, DEFINED
Justificación oficial:
> “We are reasserting American power in our home region.”
Motivo:
Rusia
Irán
China
Hezbollah
Todos fuera del hemisferio.
Venezuela es Caso #1.
🔥 THE PRECEDENT
Si esto funciona, ya no hay que explicarlo otra vez.
Venezuela: ejecutado
Nicaragua: en observación
Cuba: en la fila
“Irán: mencionado as precedent extension
El precedente está activo.
🧠 FROM FUTILE TO USEFUL — FOR WHOM?
✔️ Seguridad estadounidense
✔️ Geopolítica hemisférica
✔️ Acceso a recursos
❓ Soberanía venezolana
❓ Autodeterminación
❓ “Transición” real
El frasco se rompió.
Fue reemplazado.
No por los venezolanos.
Por 150 aeronaves a la 1:00 am.
💣 FINAL LINE
Trump lo dijo sin rodeos:
> “We’re going to run it.”
No dijo por cuánto tiempo.
Ahí está el verdadero riesgo.
Welcome to the Donroe era.

What if the variables we use to measure national success were completely backwards?
For decades, progress has been measured through GDP, productivity, growth and energy use. This piece argues those variables may be inverted and asks us to rethink what it means for a country to thrive.

Why do highly engineered systems fail just when technology is most advanced?
In Oil & Gas and other complex operations, more technology does not guarantee better decisions: this piece examines systemic capacity, how much a system can absorb and turn into action under pressure.
