I would try to guess your country but there are too many that the US has done this to
My guess is iran
OP said it was in Latin America tho
No, the CIA was selling drugs in latin america....
Iraq was invaded twice
They did? Note also thought it was going to be a a south American country but none of it fit
Point 1 definitely has some 50+ countries in it, but point 2 almost immediately leads to Iran, who suffered a coup in the 1950s because the then president wanted to nationalize the oil reserves.
Point 3 is the rise of Saddam. Point 4 is the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s and the Iran-Contra kerfuffle. Point 5 is the two invasions of Iraq by the USA, 1991 and 2003, the latter leading directly to point 6.
