    Of course, but most governments are allowed to mostly be sovereign.

    Sweden or Australia play ball on their own, no need for a coup here.

      Lol, what? Australia is a US lackee more than anywhere else. And the CIA was definitely involved in the Whitlam sacking.

        For real, the US committed a coup in Australia with Whitlam. They don’t constrain the CIA to just poor countries.

      Idk, but I feel like Olof Palme (PM of Sweden) def got murdered by the USA for his criticism on the Vietnam War. Or by South Africa for his criticism on apartheid.

      Generally speaking, sovereign governments achieve that sovereignty through military might or the inability of would-be rulers to rule them, not by simply being “allowed” to govern themselves by neighbors.

      The USA did not invent power.
