The US is the inventor of Banana Republics.
And yes very much so. White Supremacism and American Exceptionalism are both deeply ingrained in the US political system and most of its actors.
For bananas yeah but the idea of removing the local government and replacing it with a friendlier one to the exploiter of goods from the invading country is not a US invention.
