@drumr0070 Right but I wanted to emphasize that 'pov' is not necessarily 'truth', as some ppl tend to think when they hear or read the opinion of a renowned person.

[drumr0070]

@bichomaldito Didn't you mean her pov?

[drumr0070]

Come on KCTS, it's Chile, not Chili.... are you retarded?!

[bichomaldito]

"Yankees" aren't stupid, and they know that every story has 2 sides. IA comes from a leftist background, and that explains his pov about Chile. However, I wouldn't say she is wrong or telling lies when talking about torture and exile, but hers is just half the story of what happened in Chile and who caused this sort of civil war.
