El Salvador's authoritarian right-wing military forces were armed and trained by the US
The Atlacatl Battalion which carried out the El Mozote massacre—killing 800+ civilians—was created by the US School of the Americas

Trump demonized El Salvador as a "shithole," while of course not mentioning that the US government trained and funded a right-wing military dictatorship and death squads that carried out 85% of the killings, kidnappings, and torture in its brutal civil war

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of people in Latin America massacred by US-backed right-wing dictatorships and death squads to crush socialism, the US killed 3 MILLION in Korea, 3.8 MILLION in Vietnam, and countless more
