The Pinochet coup in Chile laid the groundwork for Friedmanite political, military, and economic coups, including systematic torture and murder, in dozens of countries for decades, up to and including Russia, Israel, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the US. Then it went on to simply having the World Bank and IMF require Friedmanite economic measures in any country with economic and financial difficulties, regardless of the will of the people.

Since then many of those countries have taken their politics, societies, and economies back. Not Russia or Israel, though. Russian Jews coming to Israel have on one hand displaced Palestinian guest workers, removing any motivation for Bibi to seek a peace deal overall or in the war on Hamas. At the other end of the scale, Russian Jews with technical skills have caused a boom in high-tech industries in Israel, particularly in national security export markets as part of the global Disaster-Industrial Complex.
