if you guys ever get fed up with History, comedy will always be an option worth considering!
That music sounded like a coast to coast bumper song.
For one moment I feared that every time Dominic mentioned the word Tupamaros we'd hear the pan pipe music.
You guys are literally hilarious and I’m such a history buff already it just makes it even better please don’t ever stop 😂
What a great story that I most likely would not have heard of. Thank you!
Wonderful start of the show, including music
Wonderful documentary. I had previously heard of Jose Mujica. Some years ago, I was a tourist in Salento Colombia and a lady asked if I was him because I look just like him. She seemed disappointed when I said that I was not. She then told me what a wonderful president he had been.
Thanks Brits!
Hilarious, but very nice tell of our history, i heard from my parents and family when I was younger, I born in 1974 in Uruguay (lucky me) in democracy, and i live there until I moved to Canada in 2002. This reminds me those amazing stories of how smart Tupamaros were at that time, that keep us awake all night listening after parties
By the way, I was living in Uruguay at the time Mujica became president and I vote for him!
I can't see a police sheriff from Indiana as the lead torture for the CIA or other conservative paramilitary groups. He wouldn't have a background in torture, so are we guessing that it's something that just came natural to him? I would think that it would be some trained CIA agent who would be in charge of that. You never know though. This guy could have been just a horrific and horrible person and maybe he perfectly fit the role as a torture instructor. It doesn't quite work for me but there must have been a reason that they thought he was the guy to kidnap.
Though the spelling is kind of strange Sendic could easily be a Jewish name. It's not far from Maurice Sendak the very famous children's author. There are pretty decent-sized Jewish communities in that whole part of South America.
Both he & his wife were of Croatian descent.
@@joejohnson6327 I didn't say he was Jewish I just said it was the name that could be. Also being of Croatian to son doesn't mean that you're not Jewish Croatian. Before World War II there were millions of Jewish Poles and Jewish Russians. My background on my father's side is Russian/ Romanian Jewish. I have no Russian or Romanian in my ancestry but 100% Jewish from that region. My mother was 100% Irish descent but my grandmother lived in England. I'm just trying to show how ethnicity and religion can all get intertwined.

I'm Croatian & I saw a documentary about Sendic(h) & his wife, Violeta Setelich, a couple of years ago. They were raised Catholic.
Trust me, no Jewish people lived among the illiterate, superstitiously Catholic Croatian fishermen & subsistence farmers who emigrated to South America from their isolated, poverty-stricken Dalmatian islands.
@@joejohnson6327 like I said before I didn't say that they were Jewish but that it was a name that could be. Many Jews lived among the illiterate, superstitious, hyper Catholic Polish but unfortunately many of them paid with lives. Every few years there would be a pogrom and some crazy rumor would get thousands of Jews murdered. It was probably worse in Russia especially before the revolution.
.... is he serious about his lack of geography knowledge? Yikes, that was a bad opening....
Dominic is not funny.
