Among the countries in the list are France, Brazil, Afghanistan, Syria, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and many more.
The US helped Afghanistan to overthrow the socialist government back in the 1980s. For that the US has worked in cooperation with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Straight after that with the help of the US the growth and distribution of opium has increased significantly, later in 1999 Taliban has cut the amount but with the invasion of the US back in 2001 the numbers came back.
In Chile, back in the 1970s the US has promised to help the country to maintain the economy. Eventually, US being the largest partner of Chile, has cut the trade off and the country was left at crossroads. With General Pinochet coming to power, the US has used their officials to work together with the US secret service while DINA intelligence agency has caught and tortured thousands of people.
Syria is the most recent and one of the most obvious examples of the US interference. Saudi Arabia long with the US is shipping weapons off to Syria's militants. Even with the Russia’s negotiations and peace talks in Geneva the situation failed to be resolved.
In Colombia the US Special Forces helped the authorities to track and kill famous drug lord Pablo Escobar, who was part of the Los Pepes group. Later in 1997 leader of Los Pepes have founded the AUC (United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia) who are responsible for various civilian deaths over the next ten years.
Among those countries, we can also mention arriving of the US troops in Korea in 1945, providing air support in Laos in 1950s, supporting Batista dictatorship in Cuba and so on and so forth.
The intervention of the US in the domestic policy of other countries and supporting leaders that oppose everything that one can put in the word democracy has given the world many examples of the false interference. It is hard to see how certain leaders can thus promote democracy in the world, which according to the US is the main goal of their country.
