United States intervenes in foreign countries from "summary" of Killing Hope by William Blum

The United States has a long history of intervening in the affairs of foreign countries. This intervention has taken many forms, from covert operations to military invasions. The goal of these interventions is often to further the interests of the United States, whether that be securing access to natural resources, protecting allies, or promoting democracy. One common form of intervention is the overthrow of foreign governments. The United States has a history of supporting coups d'état in countries whose leaders are seen as hostile to American interests. This was the case in Iran in 1953, when the CIA helped to orchestrate the overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. The United States has also supported coups in countries such as Guatemala, Chile, and Indonesia. In addition to supporting coups, the United States has also engaged in military interventions in foreign countries. This can take the form of direct military action, such as the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, or more covert operations, such as the arming and training of rebel groups in countries like Nicaragua and Afghanistan. These interventions are often justified as necessary for national security or to promote democracy and human rights. Another form of intervention is economic coercion. The United States has used economic sanctions to punish countries that do not align with American interests. This can have devastating effects on the economies of these countries, leading to widespread suffering among their populations.
  1. The United States has a long history of intervening in the affairs of foreign countries. These interventions are often driven by a desire to further American interests, whether that be securing access to resources, protecting allies, or promoting democracy. While some may see these interventions as necessary for national security, others argue that they undermine the sovereignty of other nations and perpetuate conflict and instability.
