Bolivia was one of the first countries to cut diplomatic ties to Israel. The Bolivian government and the Russian government came to an agreement over a huge lithium deal and have recently pledged to develop bilateral relations between the two countries.
The US government does not like this and the result of the US government not liking both Bolivia condemning Israel and warming relations with Russia is an attempted military coup that failed.
The Bolivian military attempted to storm the government and overthrow President Luis Arce who has spearheaded Bolivia’s challenging western powers. What is alarming is that these actions that Arce has taken are not even extreme. So this means that the US government that pushed this coup did so because they were even slightly challenged, and because they assumed this would be a simple win.
There’s been several attempted coups lately like in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Gabon.
The thread that all of these share is that western powers have the gall to think they have the right to covertly arm and fund fascists so that the western power’s agenda will not be disrupted. They want to control the world, as much as they say they do not, all of these failed insurrections are not just by chance but because the west fears losing power and sway.
People are catching onto their tactics now that the public understands how underhanded, deceitful, and power hungry these governments truly are. There are no repercussions for them which makes it all the more worse because they hold such power in the UN and other international organizations. They also penalize any dissenting countries economically, such as Cuba who has done nothing to the US and has extreme sanctions levied on Cuba.
Bolivians heard that their government was in danger and they walked out in support of their president. The Bolivian military had to put down their guns when they realized they did not have any backing and if they wanted to win, they would have had to kill to do it. Luckily, no one was killed. The general that was behind the coup is trying to pin the effort on the president who is up for reelection so that it would seem like he is in charge and control. This reasoning fails when he said that President Arce asked for him to bring a showing of the military to the Capitol. Who would agree to this? Anyone that attempts to overthrow a government would be arrested. Who would agree to purposely losing and being arrested? That makes absolutely no sense. No person would go into a situation where they know they are going to be arrested. If anything, former General Zuñiga made a wrong calculation that the people would support him and that is because the US government would have assured him that he would win. It’s kind of in the same vein as the Russian general who tried to overthrow Putin. We all know how that ended.
Western powers want war.
Western powers will destabilize countries that oppose them.
Western powers want to control the entire world.
Western powers are oppressors.
Now, don’t get me wrong, a lot of other countries around the world are also fascist and oppressors, but the western powers cannot ever admit their true intent and actions which makes them all the more untrustworthy. This and the fact that they attack anyone who opposes them makes them dangerous.
Never give up the fight against oppression.
Call out the actions of oppressors.
Never let them forget what they have done.
We must unite to end the pervasive oppressive systems.
May the whole world be free.
