Been away and a quick scan reveals no thread about this, but I may have missed one, and if so, apologies.
Back to the 80s? How long since there's been a genuine old-school Latin America coup-d'etat (or golpe d'estado, I guess)? And what will the reaction of the newly thoughtful USofA be? Left-ish leader ousted by military coup backed by rich elite would in the old days have had the CIA's fingerprints all over it. But now? Still? If Euronews is anything to go by, the groundwork for the non-reaction from the West is already being laid - talking about Zalaya's shrinking popularity as if that ought to be a consideration. On that basis a military coup in the UK is far more pressing and desirable.
