#Chile #Allende

[@Shining237]

The American 🇺🇲 CIA caused a huge genocide in Chile 🇨🇱 in 1973 where thousands were tortured and killed. Heartbreaking 💔

[@JB-dx7fk]

Please tell me more how my family lived it, non-binary expert. Please tell me that thousands are worse than millions dead by left dictatorial governments. Please tell me more... I want to know more how things were worse... Por favor weon digame

[@athiran5856]

You didn't mentioned that the U.S. supported the coup.

[@flyingdragons]

And Canada too.

[@BBme]

Because DW is lashed dog to Germany politicians whom are lashed dogs to US

[@MrChillerNo1]

the original 9/11

[@bensala31]

Yes. Thanks US.

[@BBme]

US government applauded the rebirth of democratic practices in Chile, despite having supported the 1973 coup d'état and subsequent military regime.

[@samsmith2635]

Bingo, great amount of Bull manure. Not to mention they wanted Pinochet to help with Argentina at the time, just ask the UK where they were getting their intel on Argentina in the Falkland conflict.

[@MrBurnsExcellent]

True but Chile was horrible under Allende and socialism never works

[@Dangic23]

No mention of how the US led this. Interesting

[@GetFochD]

Very

[@apg8396]

Come on DW. Say how this coup came to be. Afraid of the US? This was very disappointing

[@powresitta]

So no mention of CIA, chicago boys or Milton Friedman?!?!?! What disgrace for journalism of DW

[@GetFochD]

Yeah wtf, must be because there are too many parallels to Ukraine and they don't want you to connect the dots

[@samsmith2635]

they have had some cracks all their talent is focused on Ukraine

[@aritrachanda8662]

Shameless DW did nothave the guts to mention US interference 😅😅 everyone knows their credibility

[@MrChillerNo1]

the real 9/11...

[@MrChillerNo1]

...and the "Osama bin Laden" of that coup: Henry Kissinger. With the support of the CIA the democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende was couped and Pinochet a fascist dictator (US friendly) put in his place. All because US neo-liberal imperialists hate for socialism to reduce their ability to exploit, disenfranchise, and supress.

[@MarkOmega.]

… all this happened with the aid of a US backed army with tanks! The Trudeau government of Canada was also complicit My father-in-law & his brothers were bodyguards for Allende😢 They were tortured beyond belief by the regime 🥹 but Chile’s resolve is stronger ❤

[@D_isco_D_ancer]

Sure...

[@rizkyadiyanto7922]

​@@D_isco_D_ancerit sure is.

[@flyingdragons]

Yeap, Canada was complicit.. and no canadian knows. So sad Canadian don't know their history.

Too bad Allende hadn't been captured.

Here we go again, market analysis in circles. Finally, Bitcoin moved, but nothing grows like the plants in Cannafarm Ltd, they can bring profit, thats the real deal.

[@dannyarcher6370]

Pinochet made the right call. Change my mind.

[@igxfux1977]

Just stop oil

[@oddbrawl8680]

Wait, do you think cryptocurrency will crash? I dont think so. More and more companies are integrating cryptocurrency into their operations: Amazon, Cannafarm Ltd, Burger King, even Starbucks, dude!

[@7xmad702]

Are cryptocurrency and business incompatible? I think youre not keeping up with the news. While you thought it was impossible, some enthusiasts from Cannafarm Ltd integrated cryptocurrency into the production of medical cannabis. What do you say now?

[@bensala31]

Thanks to the CIA and Pinochet. We would be the same as Cuba.
