overseas are gladly welcoming it at home. If you finance and encourage military dictatorships on behalf of your corporate owners, they will eventually demand that you do the same at home. There is not one so called banana republic in our hemisphere that was not fostered by US interests. Then look good at the neo-liberal experiment Kissinger et al imposed on Chile.
Now the chickens have come home to roost.
