    So the article is trying to make the argument that the US was a part of the coup yet the only fingerprints that could be traced to the US is that it kept the coup from being carried out.

      Nope, that’s me pointing out that your argument cuts both ways: you’re implying that what, a vassal state’s military all just unanimously decided not to obey the president, and the hegemon that uses the place as a military and intelligence nexus just had no part in that decision? The US don’t need to care about fingerprints in occupied Korea, they’re the whole hand.
