    Manuel Zelaya, Salvador Allende, Fidel Castro, Aristide (oops, we fixed it though, all better now see?), a whole generation of North African warlords, Milošević, Afghanistan, Askar Akayev, Ismail Haniyeh…

    After a certain point I started just copying from this article; there are plenty more. I won’t say you’re 100% wrong but neither is the person you’re talking to, either.

      What are you talking about? Those places all shit holes way before we involved ourself. Just because they’re still shit holes after we leave doesn’t make it our fault. Yea Fidel Castro? What about him? He wanted to hold nukes pointed at my country on behalf of another country which was balancing on a fine line of being called out enemy at the time? So we got him up outta there with that nonsense. What were we suppose to do?

      Tankies just mad they failed at putting nukes right on our border and we made sure not to fail after they tried that bullshit. Look who has military bases stockpiled all around those dumbfucks now.

          Yea because a place where some guy named “barbecue” who kidnaps people for ransom and is actively trying to kidnap Haiti as a nation is and has never not been a shit hole. And maybe it’s like you say. We should definitely not go in there and fix it and make it all better again. Let’s just let barbecue take control of the country and see what happens. Let’s see what barbecue does next.
