You seriously don't understand what "installing attitudes favourable to the United States" in military leadership means?
At this point, you're putting the bar of evidence so high that nothing short of a complete admission is evidence. It's not. U.S. officials admitting they want to instill favourable attitudes in foreign military leadership as well as admitting they know that these activities increase the number of coups is strong evidence. It's not incontrovertible, but nothing short of an admission could be any stronger.
>> Yes, the strong evidence is an ongoing 70-year-old trend of US trained military leaders plotting coups.
> No, it is strong evidence. In fact, there is no stronger evidence possible, short of the US coming out and saying, yes, we are training them to put our tendrils into their state.
Sorry dude, you just don't have strong evidence. I don't think you even understand what strong evidence is.
You're also moving goalposts. We started talking about the US supposedly orchestrating coups, but now you're just offering quotes about "access to the politically influential leadership" and "instilling attitudes favorable to the United States," which does not at all imply the former.
