Yeah exactly: the 1953 general workers uprising in East Berlin was hardly a US coup

This is a conspiracy theory I only ever heard from HARDCORE tankies, like straight up Stalin admirers. Absolutely batshit to see someone outside of Germany pushing that ridiculous theory.

Most of these were coup attempts with some or any assistance from the US rather than directly orchstrated by the US.
If you had the global reach as a global super power and you saw a country is undergoing a coup, would you not attempt to assist the side you deem more favorable? Even if it is just providing piecemeal assistance?
