It's true! A brief list, with some recent examples:
Honduras, where a failure by Hillary Clinton's State Department to condemn a violent coup d'état legitimized it.
Iran, where the US launched its own coup in 1953 against Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq.
Haiti, where the US regularly installs puppet governments and otherwise intervenes in elections.
Chile, where the CIA admitted to kidnapping a top general for refusing to prevent Salvador Allende from taking power.
Indonesia, where the US, with the UK and Australia, was found complicit in the mass killing of communists after the Community Party was offered proportional representation in the parliament.
