Ilhan Omar Again Sets Off a Fight Among Democrats

72. WRONG

The US installed those governments. They financed them and trained their military in torture at the School of the Americans. Americas ( https://www.dukeupress.edu/the-school-of-the-americas) also participated in the torture, as evidenced by accounts of torture victims like Sister Diana Ortiz. You know absolutely nothing about what you're talking about. Your posts are offensive. They discount tens of thousands of lives. The US got away with that behavior because people didn't care. They don't care about those lives and make excuses for US activity. Pretending that the US was not responsible and not an active participant is horrifyingly false.

Besides, you ignore the entire rest of Latin America--the US intervened militarily in Latin America over a hundred times between the 1890s and 1914. This Wikipedia entry lists just a few. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_America%E2%80%93United_States_relations

The Oxford history on the subject: https://oxfordre.com/latinamericanhistory/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780199366439.001.0001/acrefore-9780199366439-e-643

The US installed the murderous Pinochet government and affirmatively supported and funded his murders. They trained the torturers at School of the Americans and trained torturers on site in Latin American nations. They trained the murderers in Argentina's Dirty War and then brought them to Central America.
There are so many more examples.
There is a reason the US refuses to join the International Criminal Court at the Hague. They don't want members of their own military and intelligence services as well as presidential administrations held accountable for their actions.

If you had ever taken an intro to Latin American history for the national period, you would learn about these and other cases. There is so much to read on this subject.

There is so much written about this, it's not acceptable to repeat false claims. Accusing me of living in a fantasy world is false. I have a PhD in Latin American history and taught those history classes for years. You, on the other hand, are entirely ignorant on the subject.
