@weberman173 I think it’s more likely you are misunderstanding what you read, and are neglecting to consider the background for why the US did what it did. For example, don’t you think the US was right to worry about Soviet allies on its borders? Remember how bad a neighbor Cuba was to the US? Clearly the US had reason to support coups in socialist Latin nations.
Secondly, the coups seemed to work well. The nations that thwarted US backed coups; Venezuela, Cuba, and to lesser extents, Bolivia Nicaragua, are all poorer and MORE CORRUPT than their pro US neighbors which underwent coups, such as Grenada, Panama, Argentina, and Chile. So it seems that the US has a good track record and its enemies do not. Something to consider don’t you think? US is better than regimes, and NGOs clearly list who the regimes and democracies are.
