The last time the US took out a freely elected leader was Granada in the early 1980s of I'm not mistaken.

There were no freely elected officials running Granada. It was a dictatorship.Their last election was in 1976 and had been considered invalid after a coup and their constitution was suspended.

The US invaded after another coup by their military set up a Marxist government under another dictator.

So there you go.  We'd have to go back to Salvador Allende to see the US taking down a freely elected leader, and you'd have to go back to Hitler to see the US doing it with guns and bombs.

Point remains, the US usually plays nice, not always, but it's been a long time since we've ever done anything as heinous as what Putin's doing to Ukraine, if we ever did.
