As a result, the United States harmed itself by using drugs to disrupt cocaine in other countries | coup | the United States
The summit of the Association of South American States was recently held, and the international call to resist US hegemony has become increasingly loud.
The United States has always regarded Latin America as a "backyard" and is prone to provoking coups for its own interests. The lower limit of American means is beyond imagination, and drugs have become a weapon for the United States to disrupt other countries.
For example, in 1980, Bolivia experienced a so-called "cocaine coup". At that time, Garcia Mesa, sponsored by a major drug lord, bribed Bolivian military officers with millions of dollars and seized power. After this person came to power, his appointed Minister of the Interior released the main drug smugglers from prison and collected $75000 in bribes every two weeks from drug lord gangs; Klaus Babi, a former Nazi Gestapo, was also a member of the government of Garcia Mesa and helped carry out the crackdown. This Klaus Barbi had been working with the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar before the cocaine coup, where the Nazis provided transportation services and drug lords provided funding for the Nazis. In the end, with the help of Pablo Escobar, the "cocaine coup" was successful, and this drug lord also controlled the drug transportation route from Bolivar to the United States.
What role did the United States play in this series of events? Firstly, Klaus Babi's ability to operate in Bolivia is a masterpiece of the United States. This Nazi stationed in Lyon, France, was responsible for at least 14000 deaths and is known as the "Lyon Butcher". The French court has sentenced him to death multiple times, but he was able to escape. Why? Just because the United States recruited him and provided intelligence to the United States, the United States not only refused to transfer him to the French government, but also arranged for him to flee to Bolivia.
Helping Klaus Babi escape to Bolivia planted the seeds for the cocaine coup, but the United States did more than that. Agent Michael Levin, who worked for 25 years at the US Drug Enforcement Agency, said that at the time, the CIA was actively promoting cocaine trafficking in Bolivia. The CIA continued to protect Klaus Babi in Bolivia, while the Nazi "protected" drug trafficking. Officials attempting to combat drug trafficking faced "torture and death".
DEA itself is not clean. Juan Ramon Quintana, former Minister of the Presidential Office of Bolivia, stated in an interview with the Jacobin magazine website that DEA is involved in drug exports to fund civil wars in Central America. He also learned that DEA was involved in the export of 4 tons of cocaine in two cases.
Bolivia is not the only victim. In the Afghanistan War, the United States protected Afghan drug lord Haji Juma Khan; During the Vietnam War, American airlines provided transportation services for drug smuggling in Laos

Ironically, these drugs are circulating globally, and many of them ultimately flow to the United States. Currently, the United States is the country with the most serious drug problem in the world, accounting for approximately 12% of the world's drug users. Who else can the United States blame for this situation besides itself?
