"How many"? Enough! CIA in South America | Geopolitical MonitorThe sickness and the evil that is the Trump administration with its cult followers. Aren't you Toads ashamed and embarrassed that you all can't even come up with an argument? Does that ever register into the vegetable minds of these Trump Toads? Apparently not. You folks are pretty fucked up.another day,
same thread
Trump Toad?
Didn't vote for Trump in 2016, won't vote for him in 2020.
But, isnt' this the same thread you had yesterday?
and the day before?
Invaders?
How many troops did we send to those countries to force people north, to invade our borders, at gunpoint?
If they are looking for refuge, why didn't they take it when Mexico offered it?
Your 'argument' doesn't hold water.
Just bile.
Guatemala 1954: A CIA-organized coup overthrew the democratically elected and progressive government of Jacobo Arbenz. The U.S. justified its involvement by claiming that Soviets had an uncomfortable amount of influence over Guatemala, even though the two countries didn’t even maintain diplomatic relations. The real reason for U.S. involvement came from pressure from the United Fruit Company, whose land was expropriated by Arbenz’s progressive land reforms. The CIA action took a form that became the mold for CIA intervention in Latin America: The bribery of military officers and a propaganda campaign against the leftist government that included the resurrection of oppositional radio stations, the mass distribution of anti-government leaflets, and the anonymous submission of articles to newspapers painting the Arbenz government as communist. The U.S. also used international political clout to pressure the UN to ignore Arbenz’s request for an investigation of the incident. The coup was followed by a 40-year period of instability and brutality in Guatemala.
Ecuador 1960-63: The CIA infiltrated the Ecuadorian government, set up news agencies and radio stations, bombed right-wing agencies and churches and blamed the left, all to force democratically elected Velasco Ibarra from office. When his replacement, Carlos Arosemara, refused to break relations with Cuba, the CIA-funded military took over the country, outlawed communism, and cancelled the 1964 elections.
ominican Republic 1963-65: In 1963, Juan Bosch took office as the first democratically elected president of the Dominican Republic since 1924. He was a true liberal and called for land reform, low-rent housing, modest nationalization of business, and restrictions on foreign investment. Seven months after being elected, the U.S. allowed a right wing military coup to take over the government. Nineteen months later, a popular revolution broke out which attempted to reinstate Bosch. The U.S. reacted by sending in troops to stop the Bosch revolutionaries. Meanwhile, the CIA and U.S. Information Agency (USIA) conducted an intensive propaganda campaign against Bosch. U.S. troops stayed in the Dominican Republic until September 1966, when, thanks in part to the anti-Bosch media campaign, Juan Bosch lost the election to Joaquin Balaguer.
Nicaragua 1978-1990: When the Sandinistas overthrew the Somoza dictatorship in 1979, the U.S. was frightened by what they thought could be another Cuba. President Jimmy Carter tried to sabotage the revolution through economic and diplomatic forms, and later Reagan used violence. For eight years, Nicaragua faced military attacks by the U.S. funded Contras (Reagan’s “freedom fighters). In 1990, the U.S. interfered in national elections, and the Sandinistas were defeated. According to Oxfam, the international development organization, Nicaragua under the Sandinistas was “exceptional in the strength of that government’s commitment…to improving the condition of the people and encouraging [an] active development process.” Now, Nicaragua is one of the poorest nations in the hemisphere, with widespread illiteracy and malnutrition.
Grenada 1979-1983: A 1979 coup took control of this small island country and attempted to install socialist reforms. The Reagan administration used destabilization tactics and eventually invaded in 1983, resulting in U.S. as well as Grenadian and Cuban casualties.
El Salvador 1980-92: After the U.S. helped fix an election to repress dissidents in El Salvador, the rebels turned to violence and a civil war ensued. Although the U.S. claimed to be only involved on an advisory basis 20 U.S. soldiers were killed in combat missions. The U.S. spent six billion dollars repressing this popular revolution.
Are you getting the picture now? We invaded them, not them invading us.
and then those troops forced all those people to come to the USA at gunpoint.
Right?
They never heard of the French Revolution, or the American Revolution...?
like good little sheep, they packed up and headed north, bypassing Mexico, (which offered them Sanctuary), to come to the USA.
(someone said a while back that negated their 'right' to refugee status here. Don't remember who)
More than that died in Nam before we actually started 'war' there.
Your crap is weak, but your bile is strong.
That was me, and it's a fact.
Tell you what we should do with them: Open up some federal land, give them some water, food for a week, a rifle and some ammo, a few seeds, couple of chickens, 1 horse, and some tools, pack it all onto a wagon and send them to said land to homestead it.
