The main objective of this paper is to analyze the way in which, during the 1980s, the pages of the newspaper La Nación covered two key events of the Cold War in Central America and the Caribbean: the invasion of Grenada (1983) and the invasion of Panama (1989). It is proposed as a working hypothesis that both events came to represent a different way of acting on the part of the United States, which, leaving aside its Low Intensity War strategy, chose to send to intervene and overthrow governments that it considered an obstacle to its geostrategic plans in the region. Faced with such a situation, La Nación carried out a (re)presentation of the events as the result of Washington's awakening, which was celebrated as a demonstration that the northern country decided to resume its corresponding role as guarantor of order and stability in the area
