Biggest supporter of upstart socialist independence movements around the world.

We'll back just about anybody if we think they'll point a gun at someone we like even less. The US was a staunch supporter of Cuban Socialist Revolutionaries back when it was a Spanish colony. And we were ready to break bread with Joey fucking Stalin right up until FDR's brain imploded and Truman took the reins.
