I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

The Hungarian counter-revolutionaries were armed and trained by MI6, this was already confirmed (as linked earlier). It’s highly unlikely that the UK was just doing its own thing and then some of the terrorists established ties with the CIA after the fact.
I’m definitely not saying anything else was wrong. Just seeing that one specific letter floating around. It’s 100% likely that the CIA has something to do with it, as it’s definitely in their playbook, but that letter isn’t the smoking gun people say it is.
It made waves a bit ago because it was another piece of information building up the case, it’s not a smoking gun but instead is, when combined with what else we know, more evidence to support that not only was the UK involved, but so was the US.
You can at least see the way you presented it in your comment wasn’t the full picture.
Never tried to claim it, it’s just a short Lemmy comment. Entire books have been written on the subject.
No claim, just a lot of defensiveness.
