We're still doing the same antics. The OAS and State Dept supported the failed (literal) fascist coup in Bolivia, and also the recent one in Peru that has lead to quite a few deaths so far due to police/military brutality. Both were claimed to somehow be about upholding democracy despite strong popular opposition.
- celtoid 3y agoLike the old joke goes- Q: Why will there never be a coup d’état in Washington? A: Because there’s no American embassy there.
- missedthecue 3y agoThe coup attempt in Perú was by a leftist politician, it wasn't some right-wing power grab. Castillo was overwhelmingly voted to be removed from power by democratic means. He flailed and tried to get the military on his side and it didn't work. The current president of Perú is not some installed puppet, it's Castillo's vice president. Saying it was US anti-leftist meddling is baseless conspiracy theory. (I'm Peruvian and live in Perú.)
