Answer:
B
Explanation:
Soon after taking control of Congress, the Democrats passed the Boland Amendment, which restricted the activities of the CIA and the Department of Defense in foreign conflicts.
The Amendment was specifically aimed at Nicaragua, where anti-communist Contras were battling the communist Sandinista government.
Reagan had described the Contras as "the moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers." But much of their funding, to that point, had come via Nicaragua's cocaine trade, hence Congress' decision to pass the Boland Agreement.
Still, the president instructed his National Security Advisor, Robert McFarlane, to find a way to assist the drug-dealing Contras, regardless of the cost-political or otherwise.
Another way your question could be framed is “why do nations use imperialism on weaker countries?” and the simple answer is there are several motives such as ethnocentric purposes, religion, access to natural resources, expanding power, etc. Specifically people resort to imperialism on weaker countries because they are vulnerable to accept whatever helps the people survive in times of unrest.
