Establishing fascist military regimes all over the Americas, Europe and Asia might have been good for longterm peace and stability, and esp. US companies and global trade, but not so for the oppressed civilians and workers.

Could you actually explain what fascist regimes did US establish in Europe?

Greek Junta perhaps, but it was anything but stable and it collapsed because of a war in Cyprus with another NATO member..

Or are you claiming that Americans put Putin in power in Russia? Slightly far fetched but you might have a point..

Because I can’t think of anything else.

Out of my head all. It started with financing Hitler and Mussolini.

Spain and Portugal.

Then Turkey, Greece, Italy, Belgium. Belgium didn't last long though.

I’m not sure in what way do you think US “financed Hitler and Mussolini” (or whatever’s going on in your head for that matter..)

But it’s a weird thing to say when the USSR/Stalin literally bankrolled the Nazi invasions of Norway and France (whatever the financing they got from the US USSR contributed a few magnitudes more).

Germany had no oil after Poland and its not far fetched that France/Britain could have just waited it out had the Soviets not bailed them out.
