Apparently you're still ignorant of the fact that a majority of Central Americans preferred democratic socialism to the rule of rich oligarchs who depended on US support for their corrupt administrations.
Wow! Did I hit a nerve when I pointed out what a sick cretin you are for rooting on the grip socialist butcher Maduro has on the nation he has turned into a nightmare shit hole?
What a sorry apologist you are trying to morph communism into "democratic socialism" in order to dishonestly
I know what you said. I remember the bullshit fest you spewed out.
Salvadoran Civil War - Wikipedia
"On December 2, 1980, members of the Salvadoran National Guard were suspected to have raped and murdered four American, Catholic church women (three religious women, or nuns, and a laywoman).
"Maryknoll missionary sisters Maura Clarke and Ita Ford, Ursuline sister Dorothy Kazel, and laywoman Jean Donovan were on a Catholic relief mission providing food, shelter, transport, medical care, and burial to death squad victims.
"U.S. military aid was briefly cut off in response to the murders but would be renewed within six weeks.
"The outgoing Carter administration increased military aid to the Salvadoran armed forces to $10 million which included $5 million in rifles, ammunition, grenades and helicopters.[73]
"In justifying these arms shipments, the administration claimed that the regime had taken 'positive steps' to investigate the murder of four American nuns, but this was disputed by US Ambassador, Robert E. White, who said that he could find no evidence the junta was 'conducting a serious investigation.' [73]
"White was dismissed from the foreign service by the Reagan Administration after he had refused to participate in a coverup of the Salvadoran military's responsibility for the murders at the behest of Secretary of State Alexander Haig."
Asylum seekers fled US-supported death squad violence like this and the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero which occurred while he was delivering Mass.
When the migrants arrived in Los Angeles they were preyed upon by local gangs. MS-13 began as collective defense against US gangs. As usual the Greatest Purveyor of Violence in the World blames its victims.
Carter. Typical Democrat warmonger.
Good to see you support MS13, though. Maybe they'll skin you alive for your support.
Maybe you live long enough to comprehend the difference between hired killers and their victims
Israel's shadowy role in Guatemala's dirty war
"Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced in the 1980s,” said Elizabeth Oglesby, an associate professor of Latin American studies at the University of Arizona.
"'People were fleeing violence and massacres and political persecution that the United States was either funding directly or at the very minimum, covering up and excusing.'
"Violence today in those countries, she said, is a directly legacy of US involvement."
The Violence Central American Migrants Are Fleeing Was Stoked by the US
Great story.
It's a shit hole now and you seem to like it.
And the democrat govs of OR and CA.
I "love" Venezuela as much as all the members of the EU and OAS (who all call for Maduro the butcher to step down).
The tragedy of Venezuela is that they voted in a Socialist who promptly sank the most successful economy in South America, and took away their guns so all they had was rocks to throw at armored vehicles.The Tragedy of Venezuela is the Tragedy of the US
The Tragedy of Venezuela is the Tragedy of the US
". . . . Knowing as well that Trump did not give a farthing for what happened in Venezuela but was concentrated on what he is always focused on, domestic politics, I knew these underlings would be allowed to cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war in Venezuela so long as doing it secured Florida’s electoral votes for Trump in 2020.
What I did not know – but looking back to 2002, should have – is how utterly incompetent the CIA would be in pulling off the “soft coup d’etat” that its leaders promised Trump. The events of the past 48 hours have demonstrated that incompetence markedly, as well as the real motivations of Trump’s lackeys on Venezuela, from the shrimp-lusting-after-Cuba Marco Rubio to the bombastic former governor of Florida Rick Scott, to the pardoned criminal Abrams, to the supine and totally incompetent Juan Guaido and his backer, Leopoldo Lopez in Caracas. What a crew the GOP can muster!
And they just might have let slip the dogs of war.
And they let them slip into a potentially first-class disaster – just like Somalia in 1992, Iraq in 2003, Libya in 2011, Syria in 2012, Afghanistan today and yesterday, and on and on.

I know the Venezuelan military; I’ve trained some of them. They are not your usual “I want to shower after meeting them” crowd, as I would describe for instance the Honduran military. Instead, they are reasonably professional, reasonably aware of Venezuela’s historical commitment to democracy, and reasonably competent at their day jobs. They are proud of the fact that they are not Panama, i.e., a country into which the U.S. can send paratroopers overnight, kill several thousands, grab a narco-trafficker, and leave. . . . "

Nobody "knows" that. It's a lie you like to perpetuate. You are the one all for helping Putin get his way, so **** off!
I know he has one and he's a big fan of socialist
You left out the main pirates: Koch Bros. and Canada's disgusting tar sand interests.

Maybe Trump should send them pallets full of unmarked cash in the middle of the night.
Russia and China are there buddying up to Maduro. He's broke, desperate. It is easy to imagine this becoming a puppet state to one of them. We don't want them in this neighborhood.
