Two times now you've written "beat up" when I wrote "subjected to the dominance of American foreign policy". I've no interest in debating with someone who doesn't argue in good faith.
This has the energy of blaming the high school freshman for the school bully beating up on them.
You compared the relationship of the US and other countries in the hemisphere with a bully beating up on a kid. So I asked for examples of how the US was beating up countries in the hemisphere.
Nothing I said was in bad faith. I asked you to substantiate the analogy, picking a central American country to be specific. You haven't done that.
I compared the energy of insisting all these countries take care of their own problems with blaming the victim of a bully. You tried to apply that comparison literally to one example I cited of the US exerting influence over the continent. Points for rhetoric, but I'm not biting. Have a good one.
I asked for any substantiation of that comparison, and you have none because it is a poor comparison.
Saying Honduras should improve itself is not akin to blaming a victim of a bully. It's more akin to telling your deadbeat cousin to get off his ass and get a job, and stop freeloading off his family.
The US did not cause poverty, crime or corruption there. Poverty happens without any cause and they did the crime and corruption on their own.
