matagal na yang ginagawa ng U.S., lalo na nung kasagsagan ng communism.
thats the job of the CIA.
if the leader of a country is against US interests, they will find ways to bring that
leader down, either through US backed coup like in nicaragua, chile, venezuela, haiti, and indonesia, etc.
if they see that there is a strong opposition party, they will make an alliance and resort to propaganda. sometimes they also do assasinations.
and the ultimate solution if all others fail, there will be an invasion, like what happened in iraq, afghanistan, vietnam, grenada, panama, and others.
if a leader is going against US interests, he must have the overwhelming support of the vast majority of his countrymen in order to stand against US harassment. thats the best and more or less only defense against them.
