Panama was ruled by a dictator who was in fact leaning towards the Soviet block. He also ignored election results against him. And in the world of realpolitik the US was not going to ignore the strategic value of the Panama Canal. The Soviet Union was very aggressive at winning over other nations with military aid, similar to China today with financial aid. And Panama was a lot cleaner than the mess in the Middle East today. |
