Has the US been a bastion of anti-imperialism and pro-national sovereignity throughout history?

>Overthrows moderate regimes
>Wtf why do we have so many commies?

The United States isn't anti-imperialist. It's anti-empires-that-aren't-us.

>Cuban and Soviet imperialism
no such thing

>Cuban imperialism
>Soviet imperialism in Latin America
lol

>fair trade
lel
>prosperity
double lel

HAHAHA

Soviet imperialism existed, but it was nowhere near what Cold War propaganda would have you believe.

Imperialism has to be a meme word my gott

Stop projecting. All it did was support one imperialism (probably it's own which socialists constantly mention) over the other. Both Soviets/Russians and Americans and Westerners have had in common not calling themselves imperialists.

>support of puppet cronies in Latin America opposing progressivism
ftfy

...

>Has the US been a bastion of anti-imperialism...
No.

Regarding Latin America, no. The US just inherited UKs place after ww2.

As someone from south america: fuck you. What prosperity are you taking about? By the time the military in my country was backed by the US and the military junta took power the communist guerrilla was already defeated.

This thread is b8. Sage

See

Those dictatorships fucked the shit up of our economy, so shut your fucking ass before saying shit ok m8eight

>t. south american

lol

What's that school American funded that basically trained right-wing latin-american guerillas?

The only thign that comes up to my mind is:
1. The Chicago Boys gave instructions to dictators to economically manage his country
2. "Operation Condor" which was the agreement to execute all the dictatorships that happened in South America from the late 60's

America has always advocated for native people's right to self determination abroad when it suits our self interest.
We are also an imperialistic settler nation. This is indisputable. We forcibly annexed a chunk of land from Mexico.
>hurt durr fucking beakers don't know how to exploit stuff
Doesn't matter. However they got it, we took thier clay after occupying thier capital and deciding annexing them entirely would be too much trouble.
We also annexed the Kingdom of Hawaii after an American led coup.
Our citizens in the 19th century launched several attempts to topple SA govts or create separate colonies in thier territories.
Not to mention all the 20th century shenanigans everyone else has discussed.
For every liberal and humane ideal america has stood for, we've also been the purveyor of much tyranny and injustice.

you mean this one?

And a pic related concerning the global military presence of the US-Empire

>anti-imperialism
>Literally cant get the fuck out of countries.

"The School of the Americas" yeah that's it. I heard about it in "Against Empire"

They weren't as bad, the democratically elected commies that came after were far worst in most places.

>30,000 in Argentina.

Meme, the real number was around 3000.

Yes it's a meme and probably inaccurate

It's main point is to show one method of the US empire for military interventions in SA

It's a favourite of them and continuing until today

> guerrillas
dude they trained latino army officers in counterinsurgency

I hate that when talking about USA vs USSR literally anything you have for any side is propaganda.

You either have neo-liberal global shekelstains shilling for the EU, the US and NATO or full on retarded tankies wearing che-gueravara shirts and screaming about muh yankee empire. And all infographs seem to follow that same pattern.

It's an awful topic.

I should have said "Paramilitary"

This map is a load of bullshit.
Tibet isn't even real.

see
Are you disputing the military presence of the US in these countries?
That's the point of the map
Also, that's what makes the US an Empire

>india
>hosting US troops
what? no. The USN and IN do training exercises sometimes.

Sure thing rightard.
The end of military rule marked the establishment of regular democratic cycles in the region and now they're on the constant shift from left to right.

I think Americans think they have good intentions, but they just end up making everything worst.

>hosting
not
>stationing
If you go to another country, the other country is hosting you, even if you go back after some time.

Also, it still doesn't change the fuckton of US military bases all over the planet, which is an indicator of the USA being an Empire.

yes so the purple part of the map is largely wrong. Might as well say that china has hosted US troops and is therefore part of the US empir.

Ok, yes, that's a nice fact.

I'm not sure how that means anything, they were still a lot better than the vast majority of the democratic goverments.

They werent paramilitaries

>countries want to not be Russian fuckpuppets
>countries want money
>countries get US military bases

It isn't really a problem for the host country as long as it's not Marines.

I'm almost certain that there were links between The School of the Americas and the paramilitary squads in El Salvador

As the war went on, the paramilitaries got subsumed into the regular military intelligence directorate.

But yeah, the FBI, CIA, and DoD provided training and assistance for anyone who hated commies.

They certainly had links with the regular army, that's what I meant
