> ethnically cleanse

? Who's talking about ethnic cleansing? We're talking about violence cause as a consequence of the USA's drug policy + CIA interference.

The levels of misconception in this thread are remarkable

There is an ongoing history of ethnic cleansing of Mayan and other populations for example, https://caravanmagazine.in/photo-essay/ixil-maya-guatemala-e... - of course it is true that some of the ethnic cleansing history in South America is tightly related to U.S drug policy and CIA interference - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemalan_genocide

Yes, I agree, the levels of misconception really are remarkable.

on edit - should have said Central America instead of South America.
