n today’s episode of Lest We Forget History, Lillian Cauldwell revisits a moment many Americans have forgotten: the last time the United States carried out a direct military intervention in Latin America.

Drawing from reporting by Chris Kenning of USA Today, she highlights the parallels to 1989, when the U.S. invaded Panama and removed military strongman Manuel Noriega. That operation marked one of the most direct U.S. interventions in the region at the time.

But experts note that this is where the similarities end.
Venezuela presents a far more complex and volatile challenge, especially after a recent raid that has reignited regional anxiety.

Concerns have also grown after the current president remarked that his administration would “run the country” for a period — language interpreted by many as a nation‑building effort. Allies overseas are uneasy, given the administration’s ongoing struggles managing domestic affairs.

In Panama, many citizens viewed Noriega’s removal as the beginning of a more stable democracy. Whether a similar outcome is possible today remains uncertain.

So we ask you:
What do you think about this latest military action?
Is it truly about combating drug cartels and criminal networks, or is it tied to deeper economic interests — including oil, gas, and other fossil‑fuel resources?
