Watching others talk about this series at station B, there is an argument saying: "Latin America is so messy, it is the fault of American intervention in Latin America." This absurd argument is simply ridiculous.
The main problem in Latin America is populism and the rise of radicals caused by populism, which eventually led to the expansion of state power and the reduction of church power. In a chaotic situation, neither government support nor church relief can be obtained.
If things go on like this, the people at the bottom with no guarantee of survival can only rely on drug lords who can bring them economic benefits, or simply make drugs and sell drugs themselves as drug lords. In the final analysis, it is a failure in the construction of Latin American society. What the Spaniards implemented in Latin America back then was a predatory colonization that was different from the British constructive colonization, which itself had a certain degree of influence on Latin America. In addition, the Native American Indians in Latin America are different from the Indians in North America. They are highly feralized, which is even more unfavorable for the nation-building in Latin America.
The Americans do not interfere in Latin America. Their main policy in Latin America is united front. It is the Soviets who really penetrated Latin America and brought chaos. The infiltration activities carried out by the Soviets in Latin America brought about a long-term civil war in this region, shaken the foundation of society, created poverty and war, and gave birth to drug lords.
The role played by the United States after World War II has evolved from Super Switzerland at the very beginning to a defender of the free world against evil empires such as the Soviet Union, and today it is gradually moving towards the world of Rome. The principle of the Wilsonian world where the Western world is now is a collective security treaty.
It is different from the previous colonial system of the British Empire; the colonial system is to export order, sow the seeds of civilization and freedom, and bring economic benefits to the colony’s sovereign state. The chaos in Colombia like the drama can only be governed by colonialism. As for the collective security system, under this system with a certain utilitarian tendency, challengers to the world order like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are its main governance goals. To deal with such chaos in Darwin's world and Hobbes' world, Wilson's world's countermeasures are united front, that is, to abandon the sanctions against the barbarians and jointly fight against the great evils like the Soviet Union.
Therefore, the populism, the failure of social construction, and the revolutionary export of the Soviet Union are indispensable for the rampage of Latin American drug lords. As for the Americans, they have regarded Latin America as a backyard since the Monroe Doctrine, and conducted a united battle against the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Auntie: The United States is the most benevolent exporter of order in human history. If anyone denies this, you can classify them as lunatic, liar, and fool without thinking about it.
