    Might want to look at the article you’re posting on for an argument in bad faith…

      Might wanna reread what I’ve said and what I’ve adressed since you know, I was responding to a comment on the article, not the article itself and this conversation has little to do with the article at all, mostly due to people like you making it about the US.

      You know, the article about EU nations asking for support for a European nation from Latin American countries……

            Because Latin American policy has been dictated by decades of US influence, just like how European policy has been dictated by decades of Soviet influence?

              From an article that neither mentions the US or does the joint statement by the Latin Americans countries mention the US.

              So yeah, maybe go back and read the article. Bringing the US up is conjecture unsubstantiated by the article. And weren’t you big on o Lu focusing on the article just a few comments ago?

              I get you struggle not to tie everything back in the United States but American exceptionalism is a fairly toxic idea.

                Which of the countries in Latin America haven’t had governments flipped by US intervention? I’ll wait for you to count.

                  Case and point. EU nations (aka Not the US) asking for support for an eu nation (which did not have anything to do with US coups in Latin America) is to you about the US.

                  You can’t even imagine Latin American countires having issues with Europeans treatment of them, like the article states. The response text but up colonial reparations.

                  The US is not the center of the world. Countries have motivations that don’t factor the US.

                  For someone who doesn’t like the US they have gotten deep in your head.

                    The US is the center of the West’s response to Russia’s invasion. That’s indisputable.
