That's a laugh, bushbot. Wait, I forgot, do you prefer the purple or the green?
While the Spanish-American War was pure, Jacobin intervention by the father of the neocons, calling WW I and WW II interventionism is stupid. Who knows what you're babbling about with the Banana War reference (I would say you can't possibly be talking about the mafia war, but with you, who knows?) and the Phillipine Insurrection was action against insurgents in a US possession.
Do you even have a clue what interventionism is? Maybe you should spend some time brushing up on your political science before you post any more of your drivel.
Anything posted by MNJohnnie should come with a Barf Alert.
The “Banana Wars” were interventions by the U.S. (using the Marine Corps) in several Central American countries and in Haiti and the Dominican Republic during the 1920s. These shameful interventions were largely done to protect the interests of the powerful fruit importing countries, hence the name. There were some real abuses going on, which were “corrected,” but at a horrendous price in ill-will generated by the U.S. against us and anything American... something we still face today in places down there. Major General Smedley Butler, USMC, retired, had some very apt comments about the situation after he retired from the Corps.
