If you’re shocked by the thought of the US talking openly about subverting and overturning European liberal democracies spare a though for countries in Central and Southern America and (at various times) a large proportion of everything east of the baltics. It’s one of the prime missions of the CIA, even though we tend to know because of the times they’ve been crap at it. To only be insensed because they’re doing it to people like us points to some wilful blindness over the last 80 years.
