I agree we need better regulations but some of y’all worry me [reposted with fixed spelling]

Would be nice, as you still haven't disproved my original point, but instead are just criticizing, insulting, and falsely attributing malice to my intents despite them being plainly spoken.

You have claimed the US (through the CIA) launched air strikes on La Moneda. This is clearly counterhistorical, and any quick search will show you this.

but you still haven't done a bit of work to disprove that the US was directly involved in the funding and fomenting of the coup regardless of whether or not they directly bombed La Moneda.

The only part I am arguing with you about is La Moneda and the bombing. I explained why the bombing was ordered (Gustavo was a staunch anti-marxist and very gung ho, as well as the progenitor of the coup) and that the bombing was not done due to any ordered from the US or by the US. It was literally the first thing I said to you;

The US and the CIA certainly were trying to prevent Allende getting into power, and caused a lot of social turmoil in Chile - but to claim that La Moneda was bombed by the US via the CIA is an outright falsehood.

I do not know why you are bringing up events so far past the coup. The extent of my discussion with you is the coup itself in September 73, with a minor detour to explain that Pinochet was not the grand generallisimo from the beginning of the coup but rather took over that role shortly afterwards.
