And some of this shit is exaggerated. You get non-stop propaganda about governments the US hates. You just have to be way more critical of these reports and anything that comes from the US press about nations with governments the US wants to topple.
Hillary is a hawk though. Trump being a hawk doesn't make her not a hawk. Y'all need to chill with that meme. This doesn't make anyone who didn't vote for her regret not voting for her... like at all
Panama. But it actually went well; the US removed the dictator and Panama regained its democracy.
There was sustained terror campaign against Cuba. And the world court found the US guilty of international terrorism due to it's actions in Nicaragua - sending in the Contras because they didn't get their way, murdering scores of people, putting mines off the coast and by their ports - it was a disgusting show of the terrorism the US claims to want to fight so badly. Here's a link to the ICJ ruling proclaiming the US guilty of terrorism. But of course, the US dismissed the ruling cause it gives no shit about international law, and just uses it as a justification to lecture others. American exceptionalism, if you will. There are so many more examples with Haiti, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, etc. The Monroe Doctrine is a policy the US has not abandoned... at all.
American intervention in situations like that have never ever gone well. Usually we just end up causing warlords or ISIS
the US has a history of interfering in Central America, South America and Caribbean by arming a faction in the military, opposing party or junta to install a US friendly dictator or regime.
This is the key. History shows us the surest way to unify a divided or struggling country is almost always the fear of a foreign invader.
to be fair, Manuel Noriega was a US installed dictator, and intelligence operative.
Do you remember you or anyone else playing with GI Joes or little army men (depending on your age group) growing up?
The violent capitalist opposition would love that for sure. They're US-backed after all
Not really, no. My city is getting an enormous influx of Venezuelan immigrants and their stories are a thing of terror. There is no such thing as a "capitalist opposition", Venezuela's rote is hitting the hard working people.
Yeah, I won't deny that he worked with the CIA, they put him there and Noriega decided to betray them. Thankfully, his stupidity gave the US a reason to invade us and get rid of him.
While I agree Maduro needs to be removed, I don't think an invasion is the solution. So many innocents are going to be killed, there's no way to justify that.
Yes there is. Odebrecht pretty much confirms that. Lots of the opposition leaders were also part of the attempted 2002 coup d'etat
socialism is awesome. we should try it here in the u.s.
It was illegitimate, he created his own parallel Congress that allowed to move the elections up a few years and make his term longer.
Typical garbage.
I think she would.
There's a huge difference between socialism as in democratic socialism and the crazy shit that's been going on in Venezuela.
didn't you hear? the capitalist opposition made hugo chavez seize farmers land:
Leopoldo Lopez was undoubtedly part of that. So was Henrique Capriles but sure, bud, believe what you want.
It is a crisis, sure but Maduro is working on fixing it. Fact is that reporting in English speaking media has been highly inaccurate in regards to origins and handling of said crisis, as well as in representing the actual conditions.
