I feel like I'm so much more plugged into the history of US Imperialism compared with my friends and family, but it is still shocking to see the sheer number of atrocities the US committed that I had no previous knowledge of.
It's quite a phenominal list. Nicaragua is an interesting example as they really were caught red handed. Furthermore, Nicaragua was unaligned.
While the FSLN were marxist and the driving force they did not seek an alliance with the USSR so there isn't even the bullshit cold war argument. It was simply a case of the US brutally smashing a democratically elected state that pursued self determination.
