For once, no, actually. The CIA tried to overthrow him a few years earlier and failed. Pinochet’s coup caught the CIA by surprise, as Pinochet had… very effectively given the impression of being ‘nonpolitical’ and loyal to the government, to the point where Allende himself was shocked to hear of his involvement.
Context: on September 11 1973, the democratically elected Chilean president Salvador Allende was overthrown by Pinochet.

According to wikipedia, Chile uses day month year
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_country
Like everyone who uses european calendar system except americans? Who would have guessed!
ISO or fuck off tbh.
Yeah, Europeans trying to dunk on Americans for their date formatting is pretty funny when they’re both absolute shit compared to ISO

It really is no less shitty, you’re just used to it
Well, it is in a logical order. I call that less shitty.
Eh, not everyone. The Japanese go year-month-day.
So in everyday life they would say month-day?
Yeah.
Interesting, so america and their colony. 🙃
Yes, but not on Independence Day.
It’s helicopter time
