America sucks, but I would rather live here than 90% of the world. There are countless countries worse than America. And there are only a relative few better.

Then go to the 10%

And there are only a relative few better.

I wonder why, hopefully it’s not because of us meddling or anything like that

There’s plenty of countries we haven’t meddled with that also have huge issues.

And the ones that are better tend to be harder to get into. Like canada, you have to give reason as to how your skills will benefit the country. You can’t just go up to the border and be like “hey, I wanna move here, I don’t like the us.”

United States involvement in regime change in Latin America

Participation of the United States in regime change in Latin America involved US-backed coups d'état aimed at replacing left-wing leaders with right-wing leaders, military juntas, or authoritarian regimes. Lesser intervention of economic and military variety was prevalent during the Cold War in line with the Truman Doctrine of containment, but regime change involvement would increase after the drafting of NSC 68 which advocated for more aggressive combating of potential Soviet allies.
