@Clover The coup which led to executive orders from Ford, Carter, and Reagan banning US intelligence participation in coups and particularly in assassinations of foreign leaders.

@farbel well, yeah, they stopped doing it directly and now instead just fund international organizations that then fund and direct the groups that do the coups

@Clover for example?

@farbel the 1979 Iranian ‘revolution’ which was supported by our dear friends in the CIA.

The whole operation of operation condor? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Condor

Like, are you really coming in here and implying the US stopped doing coups? During the cold war? Lmao

@Clover I was hoping for an example more recent than 45-50 years ago.

@farbel @Clover So don't want to get into an argument but Iraq, last war there, overthrew the government because of the 'war on terror' and 'weapons of mass destruction'?

@Antiqueight @Clover That war was perpetrated by W on false pretenses because he wanted to avenge an attempt on his daddy's life.

@Antiqueight @Clover No, it really isn't like that.
