They are birds of a feather; the US supported both when we had a “Cold War”. Generals Pinochet and Galtieri (Argentina) secured the “southern cone” while we dealt with the top; South American generals were victims of the peace (where we pretended we didn’t know they were killing their Communists, after the USSR fell).
I was referring to Allende and Pinochet in Chile. That was way before the USSR fell. We acknowledged the commies were dissapearing but couldn’t do much about it.......and at that time, we didn’t want to do anythin about it.
We might need a Pinochet in the USA.
