But we must learn the lessons of the past and not be in the business of regime change or supporting coups—as we have in Chile, Guatemala, Brazil & the DR. The US has a long history of inappropriately intervening in Latin American nations; we must not go down that road again. 3/3

The economy is a disaster in Argentina, and nobody cares...of course oil is not the national product

Venezuela had 1.600.000 inflation rate in 2018; 50% recession in 4 years. 3 millions people fleeing the country. Argentina just had a 2.5% recession and 47% inflation rate. Bolivia national product is natural gas and the goverment is left wing, why isnt there a problem?
