Crazy that America is stuck between two parties, one that might have finally learned that imperialism is bad, and one openly discussing restarting colonization.
Maybe if the USA kept it’s fucking noses out of South American politics they wouldn’t need to ask them to keep their shit together?
Err, isn’t this the USA keeping their nose out? Isn’t this exactly what you’re asking for?
I believe OP is referring to our actions in the 80s which has ultimately led up to the current state of affairs. This is actually precisely what our government wanted, so of course they aren’t doing anything now.
Not just in the 80s - US government actors have tried to overthrow the government in Venezuela twice since then - in 2002 and in 2020.
Then there’s also the crippling effects that economic sanctions have had on several countries in South and Central America, which have lead to the deaths of thousands and led to many fleeing those countries. The surge of numbers of people trying to cross the US-Mexico border is in no small part driven by the US’ own actions in Latin America.
Don’t forget Mrs. “I’m with Her”’s nod and wink to the coup in Honduras that fucked things up in pretty permanent fashion there up to and including to the present day
So the commenter just wants to whine about it and not see anything solved?
So there will be no good old Murican democracy?
Maybe the CIA should help provide solutions to the problems they cause.
