Well, last time the US intervened in my country it was to actually install a dictator that would benefit them.

It's too early to say it's a win-win situation.

Which country is that if I may ask?
Chile, if the parent's contact info is indicative.

There we backed the overthrow of Allende's government and installed Pinochet.

Who hired former nazi torturers to kill the left wing.
> Who hired former nazi torturers to kill the left wing.

I can't tell if this is a question or an assertion.

If it's a question, Pinochet utilized Nazis to torture people (ex:Colonia Dignidad) and had lots of leftists tortured and disappeared (too many to list here).

If it's an assertion, yeah.

Assertion. Walther Rauff.
About half of south America.

Almost listened to all episodes now. America sure used to have a lot of bastard, still do but used to too.
Love a good Mitch reference!

And I went through a year or two of binging from the beginning and caught up to present day a year or two ago, but took a break for Jamie Loftus stuff and Knowledge Fight, as well as Some More News and Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff to help balance the bummer lol

Knowledge fight would be interesting, but always balk at their episode count. Also watch some more news when they have something interesting. Basically everything from the frequent bastards guests.

Maybe you'll like the Blowback podcast.
