You should really do a bit of additional research on: The Monroe Doctrine. Henry Kissinger, Salvador Allende & Pinochet. United Fruit & Guatemala, and the list goes on...

We are ONE singular species and the climate crisis ain't the elephants or squirrels fault my friend.

Then there's this thing called a global market, but I defer to your urge to hide under the covers and suck your thumb instead of engaging with the real world.

Would you please stop posting in the flamewar style to HN? You've been doing it repeatedly and it's not what this site is for.

Drugs are illegal in far more countries than the US.
