      Once the US tries to coup you once, every military dictatorship is allowed, so long as it blames the US for everything. Got it.

        If the US doesn’t want to be blamed for coups, maybe they should stop trying to topple sovereign governments.

          So now you decided that the venezuelan population should take one for your “team”. All that was wrong with Pinochet was that he didn’t sing the international socialist, everything else was cool, wasn’t it?

            No, it was not:

            During the ensuing 17-year rule of Gen.** **Augusto Pinochet, more than 3,000 people would be disappeared or killed and some 38,000 would become political prisoners — most of them victims of torture.

          The U.S. has caused coups, therefore all coups are caused by the U.S. is faulty logic.
