        Let’s see. Guatemala. Panama. Libya (ruined one of the most prosperous nations in Africa, terminated plans for pan-arabic currency). I’m sure I’m forgetting many more.

        Arguably Ukraine as well. It tanked EU, spiked sales for Yankee weapons, ruined Ukraine and demonised Russia in the eyes of many - most importantly in the eyes of Ukrainians and Russian citizens. You sure about that “reality” bit?
