...recent times the doctrine has grown dusty; no one in Europe was interested in Latin America.

The U.S. government tried to paint this as wanton aggression, but it finally admitted, as reported in The New York Times, that Soviet aid to the MPLA started after the massive increase in U.S. aid to FNLA and Unita last spring...
