The Snowden Saga has revealed something else

86. This land was colonized, period. Each of the examples I gave you were colonialized by the US

You asked for examples of countries that the US colonized - I gave them to you.

Again:

US Colonialism: Colonialism is the establishment, exploitation, maintenance, acquisition and expansion of colonies in one territory by people from another territory. It is a set of unequal relationships between the colonial power and the colony and between the colonists and the indigenous population. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonialism)

WTO and trade agreements: Cocacolonization (alternatively coca-colonization) is a term that refers to globalization or cultural colonization. It is a portmanteau of the name of the multinational soft drink maker Coca-Cola and the word colonization.

The term is used to imply either the importation of Western (particularly American) goods or an infusion of Western and especially American cultural values that competes with the local culture.[1] While it is possible to use the term benignly, it has been used pejoratively to liken globalization to Westernization or Americanization. For example, according to linguist Ghil'ad Zuckermann, "with globalisation, homogenisation and coca-colonization, there will be more and more groups added to the forlorn club of the lost-heritage peoples.

History is replete. And burying ones head in the sand doesn't negate the truth - it just leaves that one person blind.
