Like could any other countries have a Latin American nation in it's sphere if influence, or would the US just keep stomping them out? Or if a Latin American nation wanted to form alliances with some other nation, would the US just attempt overthrow the government and success Everytime, with no failures. I am interested in seeing something similar to a close Asian power/ Latin American nation relationship, but it seems that the US pretty much steps on the possibility of anything like that happening. So, is Latin America cursed to be American puppets , or could they ever have successfully taken control of their own foreign relations, and not be prevented by doing so , because of the US.
