The American Armed Intervention in Panama in December 1989 is estimated to be the largest military operation carried out by the United States since the Vietnam War.
Jolanta Bryla, "Concludes and implications of American armed intervention in Panama in December 1989"
On December 20, 1989, the United States attacked Panama by carrying out, as observers claimed, the largest bomb raid on the city since planet War II. It was an unprovoked attack on the civilian population. Panama and its inhabitants posed no threat to the US or any another country. For 3 days, the American army refused to let bombed areas of the press, the Red Cross, or another independent observers. During this time, soldiers burned and buried the bodies of the victims.
John Perkins, ‘Hitman. Confessions of an economist from dirty work”
- Why did Trump say what he said?
- For the first time in Panama's history, she was not a puppet of Washington or any another political force. Torrijos never succumbed to the temptations offered by Moscow or Beijing, he believed in the request to carry out social improvement and supply assistance to those born in poorness but was not a supporter of communism. Unlike Castro, Torrijos wanted to free himself from U.S. influence at all costs without partaking with Washington's enemies – John Perkins, “Hitman. Confessions of an economist from dirty work”.
On July 31, 1981, Omar Torrijos is killed in an air accident [probably in the bombing] – Jan Ivanek, "Conflict on the Panama Canal".
