Maybe leadership in those countries should take that into account before proudly declaring themselves against US interests, nationalizing US wealth, blocking US

Maybe leadership in those countries should take that into account before proudly declaring themselves against US interests, nationalizing US wealth, blocking US ships, kidnapping US citizens, proxy warring against US allies, exporting terrorism, spreading anti-US propaganda, radicalizing its citizens to be anti-West, etc. Jesus man, the US isn't some charity, its a nation with its own self-interests and it will move to protect those interests. Not to mention, its obligations of defense in regards to being part of NATO and its post-war relationships with Korea and Japan and Israel.
Also, its a moral hazard, and frankly stupid, to make non-US nations above criticism just because they're small. Assad is mass murdering his people in Syria, for example. He deserves that criticism, and more.
Hell, Allende's downfall had everything to do with running a radical administration hell bent on nationalizing everything and pissing off business owners, the workers, congress, and the military. Of course, people like you shout, "OMG THE USA OVERTHREW HIM... somehow" and here we are. Sadly, this is further anti-US propaganda. Allende dug his own grave yet the US gets the blame. It is possible to be disliked by the US and also be a domestic fuckup on a level where your own people get rid of you. How nice to always have someone else to blame for your troubles.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoCriticizing the USA isn't the same thing as being its enemy. Blocking unfair USA policies in their sphere is the right of any nation. The alternative? Rolling over whenever the USA says Boo!? The USA, for its part, needs to then be very circumspect in who it steamrollers and when. Not because it can't get away with it; because its wrong.
