Maybe if the USA kept it's fucking noses out of South American politics they wouldn't need to ask them to keep their shit together?
Err, isn't this the USA keeping their nose out? Isn't this exactly what you're asking for?
I believe OP is referring to our actions in the 80s which has ultimately led up to the current state of affairs. This is actually precisely what our government wanted, so of course they aren't doing anything now.
Not just in the 80s - US government actors and proxies have tried to overthrow the government in Venezuela twice since then - in 2002 and in 2020.
Then there's also the crippling effects that US economic sanctions have had on several countries in South and Central America, which has led to the deaths of thousands and many refugees fleeing those countries. The surge in the number of people trying to cross the US-Mexico border is in no small part driven by the US' own policies on Latin America.
Don’t forget Mrs. “I’m with Her”’s nod and wink to the coup in Honduras that fucked things up in pretty permanent fashion there up to and including to the present day
So the commenter just wants to whine about it and not see anything solved?
