    Why do you think it’s the US specifically and none of all the other capitalist countries?

      Maybe because of this?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change

      No need to read the entire article. Just skim through it a bit.

      Btw, I can attest that the 1964 regime change in Brazil was real because I live here and we study the military dictatorship period in middle/high school and the theme is still relevant to this day (hence why we jailed Bolsonaro). (Edit: I forgot to mention that the reveal that 1964 had a hand from operation condor is recent. it was just a “leftist hoax” before but, “today”, the papers of US involvement in Brazil’s coup made the “leftist hoax” not be a hoax anymore)

      We will need to wait a a few more decades before going public that US also interfered with our politics on the impeachment of Dilma and raise of Bolsonaro to power.

      But at least Obama government bugging Dilma’s phone was true

      https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-25441408 (Angela Merkel was another target for spionage from NSA).

       

      Also, did anyone ever mentioned that the only country who used nukes in wars up to this day was US? the country that bombed 2 civilians cities for “research purposes”?

      If Russia and France didn’t got their bombs in time, I can almost assure you that history would be different a lot of other countries would receive radioactive democracy blessings from US intead of the “boring” democracy US employs in the world nowadays.

        It just seems so US centric that it’s always the US this the US that, there’s like the whole rest of the world too but the discussion always is “socialist country do something bad” “well what about the US???”. Like goddamn
