Credit where credit’s due, I have to admit the Biden has apparently been better in how they handled US allies attempting to assassinate people on our soil than prior administrations have been.
In some related news, TIL
back during the Cold War, some American allies were doing just that. One of them was Chile’s General Augusto Pinochet. In 1976, Chilean intelligence operatives killed a former ambassador, Orlando Letelier, and his American colleague Ronni Moffitt in a car bombing in Washington, D.C.
and
Five years after the Letelier bombing, two union organizers in Seattle were murdered inside their local union office. A U.S. court later found Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda liable for the murders. The killings were said to be in retaliation for the men’s anti-Marcos organizing.
and
in 1984, a Chinese American named Henry Liu was gunned down in the garage of his home in Daly City, Calif. Members of a Taiwanese criminal gang, acting at the behest of Taiwan’s military intelligence, were convicted of the murder.
e; better phrasing
Is it just me, or did they pick the worst title they could think of? They mention a few assassinations from history, give their opinion that the amount of them is increasing and why they think so, and… that’s it. Wrap it up folks, we’ve kept people’s attention for about a minute.
