United States Support

The document cited does not indicate any US involvement in the Coup, merely that they knew about it and stayed neutral. While it's possible the US was involved due to their history in Latin America, a better source is needed. I'm checking the other language wikis to see if there's any source in a language I have passing familiarity with that can support the claim, if there is none, I will remove the section until such supporting evidence is provided.

Any help or provision of evidence that meets Wikipedia standards is appreciated. Ollie Garkey (talk) 19:16, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up edit: No other language Wikipedia suggests US support, including the original Spanish. The evidence originally linked is here. I have removed the suggestion that the US supported the coup, but would not oppose its restoration if sufficient evidence that shows US involvement is presented.

This is an understudied area of the cold war but " https://scholarworks.calstate.edu/downloads/wd375x84g ".This peer reviewed source confirms us support though USAID, particularly OPS. ElephantShrewFan (talk) 19:58, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality and Objectivity regarding belligerents

The table containing the belligerents information and such isn't quite objective when it comes into analysis, sure, the MLN-T, the CNT and the Socialists were opposed to the dictatorship, but when it comes to belligerency it should actually be the Armed Forces against Bordaberry, with the coup being successful nonetheless. It was an inside coup, the MLN-T didn't perform the coup in itself and had merely become a cause for instability within the country. ImLulz (talk) 23:40, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
