    US involvement in South America has been brutal- murder, terrorism, starting civil wars…Societies were torn apart in ways they may never recover from. How can you consider this an option and publicly advocate for it? That’s fucked up

    Edit: ITT people downvoting me who don’t want to hear about US operations in South America and also people who like US operations in South America.

        calling something whataboutism is such a cop-out. what has the user said that distracts from the greater debate?

          Cause the USA could leave NATO tomorrow and the discussion of NATO vs Russia wouldn’t change. So the USA is irrelevant in this conversation. Plus, those were USA/CIA actions, not NATO actions. And NATO isn’t ruled by the USA, no matter how much some people around here like insisting.

            the conversation had mentioned the US, western powers and derailed to an extent from the original post.
