@DavidBHimself I'll take "who was Salvador Allende" for 200 petrodollars
@mysteriarch Last time I checked, Allende was deposed in the aftermaths of a coup led by Pinochet. Yes, the CIA was involved, but this is in no way comparable.
Involving the CIA in a coup is what the US has done several times, but this is very different than deciding very officially and publicly that you don't like this leader, so you're kidnapping him.
If you don't see the difference in terms of international law, I don't have time to debate such things with strangers, this is not Reddit here.

What knowing of that sentence means?
