A top Bolivian general has been arrested and accused of mounting a coup against the government, after attempting to storm the presidential palace on Wednesday, before swiftly retreating and being taken into custody on live television.
I know very little, honestly it’s hard to ever really capture all the nuance, but I do recall having conversations about white supremacist movements in Bolivia with ties to a news corporation operating out of Washington DC, which led some to speculate it was primed for a coup by the CIA during the Trump administration or even earlier. Bolivia elected its first indigenous president Morales, but they were ousted in 2019.
So it seems pretty easy to pick a side, at least from a glance, but there is more we don’t know going on than we do.

Look at SE Asian, Egypt, and handful of smaller South American countries. They don’t leave.
I wasn’t arguing with you, just building on it.
