This coup attempt is, without any doubt, a project of the US State Department and intelligence community. You don't need a smoking gun here, or put another way the smoking gun is our posture toward Latin America for the last 100+ years. The notion that we are not involved somehow is totally ludicrous. That doesn't have to mean that Tony Blinken (or Joe Biden) personally signed off on this, but we are involved. To suppose otherwise is to be naive to the point of stupidity.
