We totally did intervene in Nicaragua and Haiti. And these were objective positives for those countries, so not sure why they're being excluded.

Pretty much setting up horrible dictatorships, and using them for their own interests. Don't think they did too much good.

Yeah, when I took history of Latin America in college, it was basically an outline of how each country ran itself and it usually at some point reached "and then the US came in and fucked shit up". It's a pretty largely ignored part of world history, Latin America has some really dope stuff in it's history.
