TR's only works when your stick is intimidating enough. Moral diplomacy is nice but even Wilson kind of knew it was too limiting for a real superpower and ended up interfering in random nation's affairs that would contradict this theory. Dollar diplomacy is a tightrope, you really have to make sure you are betting on the right side or you stand to lose a lot of money and make an enemy. I guess Wilson's is the more preferred but it only works when you have a loose definition of what "aligns" with your nation's beliefs.

This is true, also I forgot to add that intimidating people generally makes them apprehensive towards helping you out if you would need it and could result in generating widespread hate that could manifest itself in increased terrorism. So there's that.

The same thing can be said of Wilson's policy, which lead to interventions in Mexico in 1914, Haiti from 1915 -1934, Dominican Republic in 1916, Cuba in 1917, and Panama in 1918.
