    Is every political event pre-ordained by the CIA for you?

    no

    Does this ‘coup’ serve the CIA?

    I don't know

    It could just be political jockeying between bourgeoises

    It could. Nevertheless intelligence agencies often come into play in inter-bourgeois conflict, just as they come into play in class conflict.

    from what ive read he’s a generic socdem who’s pro-west

    yeah someone else in this thread said that's how he was initially perceived and he's changed his tune or something. idk.

    I am open to it but I dont know enough about Pakistan yet to form an opinion

    same

    there hasnt been clear alerts of US meddling.

    well Imran Khan himself has stated in semi-explicit terms that he thinks the US is trying to topple him.

    Fighting for his political life, Khan addressed the nation late Thursday, appearing to blunder when he named the United States as the origin of a "message" he said showed meddling in Pakistan's affairs.
