Decades of US unconditional support for Israeli war crimes.

And general meddling in other countries in the name of preventing the spread of communism

That hasn't been the rallying cry in decades.

You’re right. Before communism we did it to get cheap bananas. And after communism we did it because we created a bunch of terrorists that we now had to fight.

The attempt failed. This isn't really the McCarthy era anymore. Interestingly, that article doesn't even mention communism.

No it doesn't. you need to have the context that Venezuela nationalized their oil industry during the Obama years. Was sanctioned, and the sanctions were redoubled under trump.

Nationalizing industries isn't necessarily communism, but it is the issue the US oligopoly has with Communism.

preventing the spread of communism encouraging democracy and freedom

Like continuously bribing the Pakistan army to remove the elected government

Tbf the people currently most involved in incidentally preventing the spread of communism are edgy internet communist teenagers.
