No, I meant apples. Your assertion is genuinely bizarre, in Guatemala for instance they have over 2500 hectares of apple orchards.

Why wouldn't they have apples in Latin America? They're everywhere? It's like one of the most common fruits. What's next from you? What other wives' tales are you going to produce at my doorstep? Perhaps they don't have windows or mail boxes either? These are different countries, not planets. Figure it out.

As for Viet Nam, I think you're forgetting the part about how they employed death squads to burn and slaughter people for several decades, completely ruined all civil infrastructure, and then demanded that the Vietnamese government paid the war debts of the Diem dictatorship; The very same death squads who destroyed the country in the first place.

They were smart enough to understand the basic principles of doing things at gunpoint. So that's a total fairy tale. Viet Nam was absolutely ruined by the International Monetary Fund, and to this day they are still recovering from the horrific poverty caused by America's shylock loans.

As for all your completely unsourced assertions, can I just save some time here and ask if you wouldn't be a gusano perchance?

Because 9/10 times when someone supports Pinochet and Batista then it's usually some disenfranchised plantation family migrant with a sob story involving losing all your barracoons and having to drift into Florida on a ranch house door.

Like I just want to put the cards on the table here is all. Because literally everyone I know from Latin America has warned me about this phenomenon.
