@tokyo_0 I don't see this as a new trend, especially since they were caught, in this case and the one in Canada (though the latter plot was successful). Chile assassinated dissident Orlando Letelier in Washington D.C. in 1976, so this is not without precedent. In Chile's case, the Americans were okay with the outcome given that Nixon/Ford backed Pinochet. At the same time, blowback is what we deserve for all our decades of meddling in the affairs of other countries.
