Oh phew. That's always good news. But it shows the US isn't backing down or changing in the least. It's still the same shameless hegemon it was when it killed Allende and installed Pinochet 50 years ago. I wonder if they got tipped off by friends in Russia or elsewhere or if this really was done entirely domestically. Either way good job.

It does show that the US is failing in achieving its goals more often than not nowadays, and that's something to celebrate.

I mean i have no knowledge of it but if i was China id be offering all the countries opposed to the US like Venezuela counter intelligence services. Theyve got the resources to pull it off. Just station a few dozen counter intel people in the country and alert domestic agents if they find anything.
