@pyotr_kropotkin Mossadegh was hated by some. So was Arbenz. So was Allende. Were those coups? @DougHenwood

@pyotr_kropotkin @emptywheel austerity plus nationalist mania - marvelous

@emptywheel Did I miss a CIA angle in this story? Or were you speaking more generically?

@BradMossEsq Not speaking generically at all. You'll have to decide for yourself what you're not seeing.

@emptywheel he's on a hot streak in 2014

@occbaystreet Yeah, I'm just wondering whether in his Hall of Fame stats he gets credit for actions started while still at NSC.

@emptywheel well, if he gets Venezuela and Ukraine before Spring, may not need to count Syria.

@occbaystreet See, he's only going to GET Syria if he also gets Ukraine and prolly Venezuela. It's 3 or go home.

@emptywheel @occbaystreet What about Thailand or do you think that's an internal domestic crisis?

@DaLeftHook @emptywheel less familiar w Thailand. Will look. But preventing real uprising in Cambodia should get some points too.

@occbaystreet @emptywheel Not as crazy as Ukraine or Venezuela but there has been political violence especially in the past week there.
