As someone who is from the US but lives in a poor country, it's hard to imagine what it would be like to take the already dire situations of place like this and then add in 2-3x the drug trafficking violence compared to the US. Legalizing most recreational drugs around the world is absolutely imperative! If it is not done sooner than later then the largest drug trafficking organizations will be so entrenched that it…
Legalizing recreational drugs may help, but it won't solve the problem; hard drugs are still a thing, the cocaine trade is booming (read an article that the amount of cocaine intercepted in the Rotterdam port has gone up 10x in the past three years, and that's just the stuff they catch; wouldn't be surprised if that represents only 10% of what comes in.

I'm not willing to accept this argument, School of the Americas (now Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation) is not a public-access educational institution. It is purely for the spread of imperialist propaganda around Central and South America.
The US obviously has a self interest in providing training to military members in the Western Hemisphere. That’s why we allow foreign students to come study at any American university.

That "self interest" is very overtly expressed by the Kennedy, Johnson, and Reagan Doctrines exemplified by the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion, the 1965 invasion of the Dominican Republic, and the United States providing military support to the contras in Nicaragua.
