> kill thousands

Small nitpick: It would be more accurate to count these victims in figures of hundreds of thousands, or perhaps even millions. The Indonesian mass killings of 1965-1966 alone, conducted under the imprimatur of the CIA, resulted in the deaths of 500,000-1,000,000 people, and perhaps even more.

Yes, but here in America, where piva00 and I are, only tens of thousands of people were killed by US-backed dictatorships, not hundreds of thousands or millions.

> here in America

I think you missed a word. I assume you meant South America?

Probably North, South and Central.

Nicaragua is one of 23 independent North American countries.

The USofA has meddled in most American countries.

Yup, I'm aware -- not just Nicaragua, but also Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Chile, Bolivia, etc. I was merely curious about where u/kragen lives.

I was talking about America as a whole, not just South America.
