Post cold war, the US have been very interested in having friendly governments in the previous eastern bloc nations. This hasn't been evident in actual coups, it's evident when you follow so called soft politics. Look at trade agreements, vocal support, NATO status etc for clues here.
The US knows how to manipulate with both the carrot and the stick.
- snowpid 3y agoDo you can imagine any other reason despite "carrot and stick" why these governments were friendly to the US? And yes, soft power and coups are two very different things.
