Much longer than that. The U.S. has been committing war crimes, assassinations and setting up coups against sovereign nations since the early 1950's when J. Edgar Hoover and Joe McCarthy scared the U.S. congress and citizens so badly over the red scare and it escalated from there. Once the corporations got involved, the gloves came off by the late 1950's and 1960's and the U.S. just started bullying anyone who didn't toe their line. Look at South and Central America. Look at the middle east. Europe used to be as bad but they have managed to push against American imperialism in the last couple of decades to their favor. Saudi Arabia has become a major power player as well now, much to the chagrin of the U.S. The U.S. is headed for a reckoning for all of their meddling in foreign affairs and it can't happen too soon for my taste. Maybe they should lose their cherished seat at the big boy table with the United Nations to start?
