    You left out the “focused on fucking around in the middle east”

    because the priorities of Washington shifted to fucking up the Middle East.

    A shift of focus doesn’t mean they’re absent. Your “mostly pulled back” underplays it hard considering the resources at washington’s disposal. CIA had a few coup attempts in Venezuela https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelan_coups_d’%C3%A9tat

        Yet you fail to understand a shift of focus doesn’t mean it’s absence.

        1992 were attempted by Hugo Chavez backed by Castro

        Based

        n the 2002 coup attempt was against Chavez, and again, not triggered by the CIA, but instead by Chavez being super unpopular and firing some actually popular parts of the government which cause a coalition of trade unions and the local Catholic Church to try to drive him from power.

        Yet they got money from the NED also known as the overt arm of the CIA.

        The CIA having more resources available than entire nation states, being involved in major historical events, but libs sure like to pretend like they’re irrelevant
