What History Warns Us About U.S. Intervention in Latin America

What History Reveals About U.S. Intervention in Latin America

In this episode of Lest We Forget History, Lillian Cauldwell revisits a moment many Americans have forgotten — the last time the United States carried out a direct military intervention in Latin America. Drawing from reporting by Chris Kenning of USA Today,

Lillian examines the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama and the removal of military leader Manuel Noriega. While some parallels are being drawn today, experts caution that Venezuela presents a far more complex and volatile situation.

Recent events have reignited regional anxiety, especially following remarks suggesting a possible nation-building role. International allies have expressed concern, particularly given ongoing domestic challenges within the United States.

In Panama, many citizens viewed Noriega’s removal as the beginning of a more stable democratic era. Whether a similar outcome is possible today remains uncertain.

This episode invites listeners to look beyond headlines and consider the deeper political, economic, and historical forces at play.
