Overseas interventions of the United States

Cold War Period

1949 NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization used to resist communist expansion.

The United States supported resistance movements and dissidents in the communist regimes of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. One example is the counterespionage operations following the discovery of the Farewell Dossier which some argue contributed to the fall of the Soviet regime. After Joseph Stalin instituted the Berlin Blockade, the United States, Britain, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and several other countries began the massive "Berlin airlift", supplying West Berlin with up to 4,700 tons of daily necessities.

[18] US Air Force pilot Gail Halvorsen created "Operation Vittles", which supplied candy to German children.[19] In May 1949, Stalin backed down and lifted the blockade.[20][21] The US spent billions rebuilding Europe and aiding global development through programs such as the Marshall Plan.

From 1950 to 1953, US and UN forces fought communist Chinese and North Korean troops in the Korean War, which saw South Korea successfully defended from invasion. US troops remain in South Korea to deter further conflict, as the war has not officially ended. President Harry Truman was unable to roll back the North Korean government due to Chinese intervention, but the goal of containment was achieved.

During the Cold War, the US frequently used the CIA for covert operations against governments considered unfriendly to US interests. In 1949 under US President Harry Truman, a coup overthrew an elected parliamentary government in Syria, which had delayed approving an oil pipeline requested by US international business interests in that region. The exact role of the CIA in that coup is controversial, but it is clear that US governmental officials, including at least one CIA officer, communicated with the coup organizer, Za'im, before the March 30 coup and were at least aware that it was being planned—and six weeks later on May 16, Za'im approved the pipeline.

In 1953, under US President Dwight Eisenhower, the CIA helped Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran remove the democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammed Mossadegh (although supporters of US policy claimed that Mossadegh had ended democracy through a rigged referendum).[22] In 1954, the CIA launched Operation PBSUCCESS, which deposed the democratically elected Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz and ended the Guatemalan Revolution. The coup installed the military dictatorship of Carlos Castillo Armas, the first in a series of U.S.-backed dictators who ruled Guatemala.

Guatemala subsequently plunged into a civil war that cost scores of thousands of lives and ended all democratic expression for decades.[23][24][25] The CIA armed an indigenous insurgency in order to oppose the invasion of Tibet by Chinese forces and the subsequent control of Tibet by China,[26] and sponsored a failed revolt against Indonesian President Sukarno in 1958.[27] As part of the Eisenhower Doctrine, the US also sent troops to Lebanon in Operation Blue Bat.

Covert operations continued under President John F. Kennedy and his successors. In 1961, the CIA attempted to depose Cuban president Fidel Castro through the Bay of Pigs Invasion. The CIA (with Cuban exiles and South African mercenaries) fought Maoist "Simbas" and Afro-Cuban rebels (led by Che Guevara) during the Congo Crisis. The CIA also considered assassinating Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba with poisoned toothpaste (although this plan was aborted).[28][29][30] In 1961, the CIA supported the overthrow of Rafael Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican Republic.[31]

After a period of instability, US troops invaded the Dominican Republic in Operation Power Pack, initially to evacuate US citizens on the island and ultimately to broker a cease-fire in the civil war.

At the end of the Eisenhower administration, a campaign was initiated to deny Cheddi Jagan power in an independent Guyana.[32] This campaign was intensified and became something of an obsession of John F. Kennedy, because he feared a "second Cuba".[33] By the time Kennedy took office, the United Kingdom was ready to decolonize British Guiana and did not fear Jagan's political leanings, yet chose to cooperate in the plot for the sake of good relations with the United States.[34] The CIA cooperated with AFL-CIO, most notably in organizing an 80-day general strike in 1963, backing it up with a strike fund estimated to be over $1 million.[35] The Kennedy Administration put pressure on Harold Macmillan's government to help in its effort, ultimately attaining a promise on 18 July, 1963, that Macmillan's government would unseat Jagan.[36] This
was achieved through a plan developed by Duncan Sandys whereby Sandy, after feigning impartiality in a Guyanese dispute, would decide in favor of Burnham and D'Aguiar, calling for new elections based on proportional representation before independence would be considered,
under which Jagan's opposition would have better chances to win.[37] The plan succeeded, and the Burnham-D'Aguiar coalition took power soon after winning the election on 7 December, 1964.[38]

The Johnson administration later helped Burnham fix the fraudulent election of 1968 — the first election after decolonization in 1966.[39] To guarantee Burnham's victory, Johnson also approved a well-timed Food for Peace loan, announced some weeks before the election so as to influence
the election but not to appear to be doing so.[39] US-Guyanan relations cooled in the Nixon administration. Henry Kissinger, in his memoirs, dismissed Guyana as being "invariably on the side of radicals in Third World forums."[40]

From 1965 to 1973 North Vietnam was fought by the USA, CIA using many methods and means in a war that was started under false pretense. Details of this are difficult to post here, may try to post more further in on this subject.

North Vietnamese forces attempted to overrun Cambodia in 1970,[46] to which the US and South Vietnam responded with a limited incursion.[47][48][49] The US bombing of Cambodia, called Operation Menu, proved controversial. Although David Chandler argued that the bombing "had the effect the Americans wanted--it broke the communist encirclement of Phnom Penh,"[50] others have claimed it boosted recruitment for the Khmer Rouge.[51] North Vietnam violated the Paris Peace Accords after the US withdrew, and all of Indochina had fallen to communist governments by late 1975.

In 1970, at the request of President Richard Nixon, the CIA planned a "constitutional coup" to prevent the election of Marxist leader Salvador Allende in Chile, while secretly encouraging Chilean generals to act against him.[52] The CIA changed its approach after the murder of Chilean general René Schneider,[53] offering aid to democratic protestors and other Chilean dissidents.[52] Allende was accused of supporting armed groups, torturing detainees, conducting
illegal arrests, and muzzling the press;[54] historian Mark Falcoff therefore credits the CIA with preserving democratic opposition to Allende and preventing the "consolidation" of his supposed "totalitarian project".[52] However, Peter Kornbluh asserts that the CIA destabilized Chile and helped create the conditions for the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, which led to years of dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet.[55] In 1973, Nixon authorized Operation Nickel Grass, an overt strategic airlift to deliver weapons and supplies to Israel during the Yom Kippur War, after the Soviet Union began sending arms to Syria and Egypt.

From 1972–1975, the CIA armed Kurdish rebels fighting the Ba'athist government of Iraq.

Months after the Saur Revolution brought a communist regime to power in Afghanistan, the US began offering limited financial aid to Afghan dissidents through Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, although the Carter administration rejected Pakistani requests to provide arms.

[56] After the Iranian Revolution, the United States sought rapprochement with the Afghan government—a prospect that the USSR found unacceptable due to the weakening Soviet leverage over the regime.[57] The Soviets invaded Afghanistan on December 24, 1979 to depose Hafizullah Amin, and subsequently installed a puppet regime. Disgusted by the collapse of detente, President Jimmy Carter began covertly arming Afghan mujahideen in a program called Operation Cyclone.

This program was greatly expanded under President Ronald Reagan as part of the Reagan Doctrine.
As part of this doctrine, the CIA also supported the UNITA movement in Angola,[58] the Solidarity movement in Poland,[59] the Contra revolt in Nicaragua, and the Khmer People's National Liberation Front in Cambodia.[60][61] US and UN forces later supervised free elections in Cambodia.[62]

Under Reagan, the US sent troops to Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War as part of a peace-keeping mission. The US withdrew after 241 servicemen were killed in the Beirut
barracks bombing. In Operation Earnest Will, US warships escorted reflagged Kuwaiti oil tankers to protect them from Iranian attacks during the Iran–Iraq War. The United States Navy launched Operation Praying Mantis in retaliation for the Iranian mining of the Persian Gulf during the war and the subsequent damage to an American warship. The attack helped pressure Iran to agree to a ceasefire with Iraq later that summer, ending the eight-year war.[63]

Under Carter and Reagan, the CIA repeatedly intervened to prevent right-wing coups in El Salvador and the US frequently threatened aid suspensions to curtail government atrocities in the Salvadoran Civil War. As a result, the death squads made plans to kill the US Ambassador.[64] In 1983, after an internal power struggle ended with the deposition and murder of revolutionary Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, the US invaded Grenada in Operation Urgent Fury and held free elections.

In 1986, the US bombed Libya in response to Libyan alleged involvement in international terrorism.

President George H. W. Bush ordered the invasion of Panama (Operation Just Cause) in 1989 and deposed dictator Manuel Noriega.[65]

After the cold war

The US intervened in Kuwait after a series of failed diplomatic negotiations, led a coalition to remove the Iraqi invader forces, in what became known as the Gulf War. On 26 February 1991, the coalition succeeded in driving out the Iraqi forces. As they retreated, Iraqi forces carried out a scorched earth policy by setting oil wells on fire. During the Iraqi occupation, about 1,000 Kuwaiti civilians were killed and more than 300,000 residents fled the country.

Oil fires in Kuwait in 1990, which were a result of the scorched earth policy of Iraqi military forces retreating from Kuwait.

In the 1990s, the US intervened in Somalia as part of UNOSOM I, a United Nations humanitarian relief operation.[66] The mission saved hundreds of thousands of lives.[67] During the Battle of Mogadishu, two U.S. helicopters were shot down by rocket-propelled grenade attacks to their tail rotors, trapping soldiers behind enemy lines. This resulted in an urban battle that killed 18 American soldiers, wounded 73 others, and one was taken prisoner. There were many more Somali casualties. Some of the American bodies were dragged through the streets – a spectacle broadcast on television news programs. In response, U.S. forces were withdrawn from Somalia and later conflicts were approached with fewer soldiers on the ground.

Under President Bill Clinton, the US participated in Operation Uphold Democracy, a UN mission to reinstate the elected president of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, after a military coup.[68] In 1995, Clinton ordered US and NATO aircraft to attack Bosnian Serb targets to halt attacks on UN safe zones and to pressure them into a peace accord. Clinton deployed U.S. peacekeepers to Bosnia in late 1995, to uphold the subsequent Dayton Agreement. In response to the 1998 al-Qaeda bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa that killed a dozen Americans and hundreds of Africans, Clinton ordered cruise missile strikes on targets in Afghanistan and Sudan.

First was The Sudanese Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory, suspected of assisting (CIA Asset Osama Bin Laden) in making chemical weapons.

The second was (CIA Asset Osama Bin Laden's terrorist training camps in Afghanistan.)[69]

To stop the ethnic cleansing and genocide[70][71] of Albanians by nationalist Serbians in the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's province of Kosovo, Clinton authorized the use of American troops in a NATO bombing campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999, named Operation Allied
Force. The CIA was involved in the failed 1996 coup attempt against Saddam Hussein.

9/11 - A Conspiracy Theory - In 5 Fast Fun Minutes!

In 2003, the US and a multi-national coalition invaded Iraq to depose Saddam. Afghanistan remains under military occupation, while the Iraq war officially ended on December 15, 2011. The US has launched drone attacks in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia against suspected terrorist targets.[72][73] The US has used large amounts of aid and counter-insurgency training to enhance stability and reduce violence in war-ravaged Colombia, in what has been called "the most successful nation-building exercise by the United States in this century".[74]

The US intervened in the 2011 Libyan civil war by providing air power. There was also speculation in The Washington Post that President Barack Obama issued a covert action finding in March 2011 that authorized the CIA to carry out a clandestine effort to provide arms and support to the Libyan opposition.[75] Muammar Gaddafi was ultimately overthrown and killed.

In August 2014, the US began airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq in response to recent gains by the terrorist group that threatened American assets and Iraqi government forces.
This was followed by more airstrikes on the 23rd of September in Syria,[76] where the US-led coalition group targeted ISIS positions throughout the war-ravaged nation. Airstrikes involved fighters, bombers, and launching Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Seismic Shift In Syria: Trump Ends Covert Obama-era CIA Program Which Sent Arms To Jihadists
by Tyler Durden
Jul 19, 2017 7:08 PM

snip <

Tillerson has made similar remarks throughout the summer. But there were at times contradictory statements being issued from other areas of the administration, especially the State Department and ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, who often continued to reiterate the "Assad must go" line - a policy put in place when Obama first uttered those words all the way back in summer of 2011. The divergent statements left pundits confused as to what America's future role in Syria would look like. The Trump administration has from the start faced an uphill battle against hawks and neocons in D.C. regarding Syria, who are already accusing the president of appeasing Assad and "falling into the Russia trap."

After the al-Qaeda linked Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham accused Assad and Russia of committing the April 4th chemical attack against civilians in Khan Shaykhun, immense pressure was ramped up on Trump to attack and remove Assad. According to an investigative report by Seymour Hersh, Trump's national security team presented the president with multiple plans after the murky incident in which Russia, Syria, and the al-Qaeda affiliate traded blame. Trump reportedly shot down the military's "decapitation" plan right away (removal of Assad), but opted for what many saw as his merely "symbolic" strike on Shayrat air base southeast of Homs.

Meanwhile, many analysts have for years pointed to the CIA covert operation, called Timber Sycamore, as really nothing more than a replay of 'Operation Cyclone' - the 1980's CIA program to arm Afghan and Arab mujahideen fighters against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. That secretive years long operation resulted in an unprecedented rise in international Islamic terrorism, the installation of the radical Taliban government in Afghanistan, the rise of al-Qaeda itself, and the 9/11 attacks. On Syria, pro-regime change hawks have tended to downplay the size and impact of the CIA's Syria weapons program, but a recent investigation by a prominent national security reporter concluded the following:

A declassified October 2012 Defense Intelligence Agency report revealed that the shipment in late August 2012 had included 500 sniper rifles, 100 RPG (rocket propelled grenade launchers) along with 300 RPG rounds and 400 howitzers. Each arms shipment encompassed as many as ten shipping containers, it reported, each of which held about 48,000 pounds of cargo. That suggests a total payload of up to 250 tons of weapons per shipment. Even if the CIA had organized only one shipment per month, the arms shipments would have totaled 2,750 tons of arms bound ultimately for Syria from October 2011 through August 2012. More likely it was a multiple of that figure.

The program originated under Obama and its details were unknown to the general public and even to many in Congress. The Washington Post reported in 2015 (based on Snowden documents) that it was “one the agency’s largest covert operations, with a budget approaching $1 billion a year” (one-fifteenth of the CIA’s total budget according to the leaked documents).

Yesterday we published sections from a 2016 whistle blower report recently unearthed from a restricted access special forces online platform in which Green Berets and other elite operatives slammed what they called a CIA jihadist training program in Syria. US military eyewitnesses testified that:

Many [US military trainers overseen by CIA officers] are actively sabotaging the programs by stalling and doing nothing, knowing that the supposedly secular rebels they are expected to train are actually al-Nusra terrorists.

Indeed Trump himself, while on the campaign trail decried the Obama White House's covert activities in Syria, even tweeting a declassified Pentagon document pointing to both Obama's and Secretary of State Hillary's role in empowering terrorists in order to overthrow Assad.
