     important distinction: what happened today was not (just) a coup attempt, it was a military invasion. IIUC the US had never done any of the latter in Latin America, it's a first.

     that list is not complete (outdated, maybe?). US participated in the Brazilian 2016 coup, for one. I'm pretty sure there was meddling in elections in Ecuador. dunno about Costa Rica, but IIRC it has been historically sympathetic to US interests.
