Now Russia is using the terms of the doctrine as its justification - claiming that it's part of the Western hemisphere.
The doctrine was put there to ensure none of them started any new 'projects' - which is exactly what Russia is doing in Venezuela.
Russia is one of those very few overseas powers that stand in the way, and doesn't particularly care if Venezuelans like it or not, let alone can make themselves free or not.
"Part of Russia's territory, the Chukotka Peninsula, is located in the Western Hemisphere. So for Russia the American continent is a close neighbor."Zakharova also refuted claims that Russian military specialists arrived in Venezuela to conduct "Military operations." The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman stressed that Russia had already "Clearly stated the purpose of the arrival of its specialists in Caracas."
"There can be no talk of any 'military contigents'. Accordingly, speculation about Russia holding some kind of 'military operations' in Venezuela are completely groundless," the spokeswoman noted, suggesting that perhaps Washington was mistaking Moscow's actions for its own behavior, including in countries like Colombia, where US military instructors are operating out in the open.
According to the spokeswoman, Washington has already introduced so many sanctions against Russia that "Moscow has simply lost count and stopped paying attention to them."
Now Russia is not only telling America the Monroe Doctrine also makes it a protector due to its hemispheric spike of land, it also seeks to separate the U.S. decisively from its ally Colombia.
