When people brag of their own responsibility, others usually stop their noses. I suggest you ask a few Latin Americans about the responsibility of American intervention in Latin America over the decades. Even when they eventually converted to imposing democracy instead of brutal military tyranny, their bullying ways and imposition of inappropriate free marketeering managed to make democracy itself look odious. The results you can see right now in places such as Bolivia and Ecuador, where the anti-American backlash is entirely local in origin, let alone in Venezuela.
