absolutely nill. When was the last time the US did something decent to any developing nation? That's not what the US does. The US is a predatory nation that toys with the developing world continually only to benefit its corporate overlords.
We were a force for good briefly during WWII, but since then, and arguably before then, we've been something else entirely: a colonial power without colonial administration. We have offloaded our colonial ambitions to corporations. They the ones who claim ownership of other nations' land and resources, and we provide the military force and intelligence to keep them in their hands.
What happened in Venezuela is what America has been since God knows when.
