What's Putin got to do with the Americans going all ballistic against Chavez back in the day? It's all on them, on the Americans, and on the Monroe doctrine.

Which Chavez? Monroe Doctrine was in regards to saying that any European intervention in the Americas would be viewed as an act of aggression. That was 1823

I don't know details about Venezuela but it sounds like you would agree Obama/Biden also got nothing to do with Russians going all Holodomor against Ukrainians back in the day

Stupid comparison, because the Monroe Doctrine is still active American policy when it comes to its Foreign Affairs (and, yes, it was/is also active during both the Obama and Biden presidencies). Please try and do better next time.
