CIA operations

they're the dickhead stepbrother

The CIA

do you mean the US?

Yes how America screwed the US

just bants, mate

I think each LatAm country should explain how the US fucked over them, because unless you're a historian, you only know well the history of your country when it comes to US meddling.

When it comes to Puerto Rico, the US used a false as an excuse to declare war on Spain, subsequently stealing Cuba, PR, Guam and the Philippines. The US gave Cuba and Philippines independence under certain conditions. Guam became a base and so did PR. They murdered our pro-independence protestors and also tortured one of its leaders. They even killed innocent people in search for other independence leaders. Americans also tested contraceptives in the rural areas as well as Agent Orange (used in Vietnam). To this day they don't give us the right to vote.

Holy shit that sounds horrifying

>cold war
>both sides are paranoid as fuck
>convinced that if they don't drag unaligned countries to their side, the other guy will do it first
>Americans bank roll western Europe to make it clear to the locals who the good guys are supposed to be
>not enough money or will to do the same elsewhere
don't get me wrong, we had a few communist militias that got a hold on soviet weapons and sent some of their people to train on the PRC and the USSR, but the reds never really officially got involved over here so much
ironically, I think that if they had, actually presenting a clear communist threat in the region, not just armed rebel groups hiding in the mountains, maybe the US would have cared enough to win the hearts and minds of the locals
And the US didn't do a lot to Argentina anyways, so...

Where they did the most harm was in central America

There is at least one well known instance where America fucked over this place:
Late twenties, a certain banana company that was favored with control over vast zones of our northern territories because of USA and the inherent corruption of our political elites experiences a strike because it keeps workers almost as slaves with the complicity of the local authorities.
American government calls their puppets in Bogota and tells them to get their asses to work to defend American interests in our country as their come first than ours, or else....(supposedly, there was even an invasion threat involved)
The elite's happy because its an opportunity to show how much they hate poor people and the majority of the population so they send the army to stop the strike at any cost
The army arrives and ends up killing hundreds (if not thousands) of people (as the total death toll is disputed) in what it's known as "Banana Massacre" ("La masacre de las bananeras")
They are also suspected of being behind Gaitan's killing in association with the local government because of "muh communism". There's not much problem with killing Gaitan per se as he was shady as heck, but the implicit and real problem with this is that his murder was orchestrated with the
purpose of keeping a small group of corrupt people in power who favored USA over anything else.

They literally ordered a coup detat so they could get cheap bananas from centro america

america didn't nothing wrong, the problem of latin america is that we always found an excuse and someone else to blame instead to assume our error and try to improve

The problem is that we've always been the USA's backyard, both left and right wing political parties in latin america are an absolute meme that sell out to the US, this will always be our natural state unless we uncuck ourselves.

This is america.

>america didn't nothing wrong,
They did plenty of things wrong, just look at this thread.
>the problem of latin america is that we always found an excuse and someone else to blame instead to assume our error and try to improve
You cannot deny that Latin America has been screwed over by the US, but you are right, some won't move on and will blame everything on Americans. Americans are at fault as much as we are at fault for our failures.
You can recognize that Americans were a bunch of dickheads that contributed to some of our current problems and you can also acknowledge that we are guilty of our misfortunes.

it was fugged to begin with OP, still is, the only thing my country did was support governments that weren't dangerous socialists

communist/ socialist guerillas were and still are in some cases a problem on that continent

Imagine literally being persecuted for your political ideas in a democracy that claims freedom, while you are living in a foreign country.
>innocent commies
>Yeah!!!!!

Nice one

>we instead just supported totalitarian regimes that killed their own people, usually with no due process
fuck yeah, that'll show those socialist, clearly won't validate their claims by making you look like a murderous fuck with no allegiance

>this will always be our natural state unless we uncuck ourselves
How can that happen?

Choosing a non-psychopath for president for once.

By getting rid of cr*ollos and their inherently sp*nish "objective" mindset that favors stepping on everyone out of self-interest

>an intelligence gathering agency destroyed an entire continent without anyone knowing
versus
>these low iq troglodytes can't run a country and blame outside sources
which one is more likely?

I´m glad the wh*te race is getting displaced, they brought nothing but misery to our countries.

cr*Ollo expats are scum here too. the kindest latinos ive meet have always been mestizos.

>socialism is bad
>we were helping them by supporting deranged murderous capitalist dictators
