> I read section about US involvement, and nothing there says they organized coup in 1973, in opposite, this link says that many sources confirm US were not involved into the coup

Out of curiosity, skimmed the article a bit and look:

> They [Kissinger and Nixon] do take credit for creating the conditions that led to the coup. Kissinger says that "they created the conditions as great as possible." Nixon and Kissinger also discussed how they would play this event with the media and lamented the fact that, if this were the era of Eisenhower, then they would be seen as heroes.

Are you playing dumb or what?

> My critics is directed to your propaganda-troll alike communication style: thrown 10 names of countries without any specifics.

Seeing a spec in somebody's eye, but not noticing a log that's in your own, eh? Don't forget your tinfoil hat.

creating condition: economic sanctions, is not the same as be involved in the coup.

Yeah, pushing someone of a cliff is definitely not the same as smashing their head with a rock.

Kommies completely restricted western trade. It was rules of engagement at that time, and US actions were soft comparing to kommies.

Sure, I guess sanctions were there just for the kicks without any real substantial effect. Just so that poor non-commies don't feel bad about themselves, since, you know, evil commies had already supposedly restricted all the trade.

> the US had dominated global economy as a result of WWII

or it is just capitalism is much more efficient than communism, or whatever bloody kommies tried to built.
