2003 onward was shit, but before that with what they did in south and central America was pretty shit too. They also always fund the group that will let them grab the ressources, it’s never about which group has the best moral position or what’s best for the local population. There’s better ways to help than funding a civil war, wars that are usually orchestrated into being by them anyways.
Being against American imperialism does not equal being a tankie and I resent the implication. Not everyone that disagrees with you is a tankie.
