This does explain a lot of the difference in development, especially in very poor countries. And this isn’t just a result of “old”, traditional colonialism, but imperialism in the form of meddling in their internal politics. Guatemala is a great example, having had its democracy destroyed by Allen Dulles and his CIA in the 1950s. But you can also take a more recent example like the 2009 coup in Honduras, backed by Hillary Clinton.
- worik 4y agoAs someone who does not live in the USA Iam very glad H Clinton did not become president Impossible to know but I expect she would not have stayed out of the Syrian war. It was she who was largely responsible for the debacle in Lybia So Karen on using all that power and such a short term thinker Trump was a catastrophe for you in the USA but not really for us. Please elect an isolationist....
- miguelazo 4y agoThe DC establishment will do anything to prevent an isolationist from taking power-- that would begin the rollback of the sprawling empire from which they derive their largess. Trump was terrible domestically, and he was only isolationist in some areas (certainly less damaging overall than the Karen). He also appointed some usual suspects from the Deep State who are extremely interventionist (John Bolton, ffs).
