Aftershocks and Legacy of U.S. Interventions
The history of U.S.-backed regime changes has left a legacy of political instability, economic decline, and social upheaval in many affected nations. Interventions often led to unintended consequences, including civil wars, human rights abuses, and the rise of extremist groups. These outcomes have sparked ongoing debates over the ethics and effectiveness of democracy promotion through foreign intervention. Calls for accountability in U.S. foreign policy have intensified, emphasizing the need for strategies that prioritize long-term stability and respect for national sovereignty. (cato.org)
