This ridiculous propaganda that the U.S. government puts out--no matter who seems to be in charge--that our "military-industrial complex" supports democracy around the world, while it, in fact, supports fascists, dictators, oligarchies and other rightwing scum, has been exposed in Latin America for what it is: tripe.
This is Latin America ALL OVER AGAIN. The lies are the same. The corporate media complicity is the same. The covert ops are the same. The goals are the same. The VAST misuse of our tax money is the same. The horrors inflicted on the victims will be the same. And the outcome will be the same: While a few make billions of dollars from armaments, chaos, stolen resources, slave labor, massacred local cultures and privatized public infrastructure, our name will be dragged through the mud AGAIN.
The monstrous dictators in Latin America who stole newborn babies from their mothers and murdered the mothers, who dropped "leftists" out of airplanes over the sea, who tortured and murdered thousands and thousands of people, WERE SUPPORTED BY THE U.S. "MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX," and, believe me, they are still at it--currently, in Honduras; over the last decade in Colombia; in Haiti and other places, meanwhile trying to OVERTHROW the democracies that have crawled out from under this U.S. reign of terror (recent U.S.-backed coup d'etat efforts in Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador, recent successful U.S.-backed coup d'etats in Honduras, Paraguay and Haiti; and a U.S.-installed mafia don running Colombia during the Bush Junta; labor union leaders and other advocates of the poor are still being murdered in these countries; not to mention the heinous chaos of the corrupt, murderous, failed U.S. "war on drugs"--in Mexico, Honduras, Colombia and other places).
THAT is why the people of Latin America--who have REAL elections, unlike us--have elected presidents of their countries, in recent times, who personally suffered torture at the hands of U.S.-supported fascists, including the current president of Brazil, the current president of Uruguay, and the current president of Chile (who lost her father to U.S.-supported torturers), and have also favored former leftist guerrilla fighters for president (Brazil, Uruguay, Nicaragua, El Salvador), or leaders who have suffered imprisonment or other hardships inflicted by U.S.-friendly regimes (recent past presidents of Brazil and Venezuela; current president of Bolivia).
Most Latin Americans are fully aware of what the U.S. did to their countries. Having fought U.S.-supported horrors--even with arms--is no disgrace there; indeed, these days, it is a badge of courage, a sign of great leadership.
The U.S. is now doing to Ukraine what it did to Latin America: destroyed democracy, installed fascist dictators, supported them in their evil deeds--leaving the people of these countries with the Herculean task of restoring democracy and social justice. The current Kiev regime is both fascist and illegitimate. They gained power by a coup d'etat and threw out the elected government, with full support of the U.S. "military-industrial complex," some inner cabal of which is running things here for sure (and NOT the President).
There are parallels to U.S./MIC policy on Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and Iran, in the current era, in the creation or attempted creation of chaos, vile arms trafficking and profiteering, vile covert ops, intense propaganda and war or threat of war, all for MIC geopolitical purposes. Some of this is pointed out by the speakers in this vid. But the parallel to Latin America is the closest because of the utter hypocrisy and damned lie that the U.S. is supporting democracy! The regime in Kiev is NOT democratic, not even close--it is anti-democratic. It is fascist, of the most virulent kind--some of them are Nazis! You don't have to be a Putin fan, nor a fan of Russian expansionism, to recognize this. I don't like him or his empire, but the people of the Ukraine VOTED FOR a government that favored friendly relations with Russia as opposed to the US/EU/NATO. That ELECTED government was the one that the U.S. helped overthrow!
Same old story. Pentagon 'contractors,' banksters, oil and other corporations--these are the entities being served by U.S. policy, and U.S. operatives. of whatever party, tell egregious lies, destroy democracies, obliterate sovereignty, and create chaos and war, at their behest.

Wish you had watched it so you could "debunk the post" with a reasoned, intelligent response.
maybe you will give further thoughts after you watched it? 
Most folks have little time to delve much into the Magazines of Yesterday and the Dying Newspapers to try to understand what is going on.
