Us supporting coup in bolivia

So now the us is supporting a coup in bolivia. Surprise, they’re socialist. It’s not socialism that’s the problem, it’s us reactions to socialism. And I’m sure after we destroy their economy and nation with coups, sanctions, etc, then we will point at them and say “see how bad socialism is?!”

whatever do you mean ? You mean to tell me...up until now...their economy was..."fine" ? But now the US is going to destroy this bountiful and progressive country ?

Perfectly said. Bolivia was thriving under Morales, especially the long marginalized native population. Well, the US can't have any successful examples of socialism, especially in their own hemisphere.

thriving under Morales

Thriving ? Indeed.

a reply to: MarioOnTheFly

Despite a series of mostly political setbacks, between 2006 and 2009 the Morales administration has spurred growth higher than at any point in the preceding 30 years. The growth was accompanied by a moderate decrease in inequality. A surplus budget of 1.7% (GDP) was obtained by 2012, the government runs surpluses since Morales administration reflecting a prudent economic management.

what ?

Bolivia isnt really a socialist state.

They are a mix like Scandinavian nations. But there is more opportunity for private enterprise there. So yea, its a little too socialists for US standards. A wave of conservatism is sweeping south America, this was in the books.

Kind of weird that the wave of conservatism that is sweeping South America is being spurred on by the CIA. The same CIA that has supposedly been working against Donald Trump and Conservatism in America.

But that’s none of my business.

The CIA has been around long enough to have many employees. Yes, it can pat its head and scratch its belly at the same time.

Though it has apparently failed in Venezuela and Iran, it has succeeded in Bolivia and Colombia.

The same goes for the supposedly socialist media. They're trying to paint a picture that Morales is 100% guilty of election fraud while his supporters are responsible for all the violence. Completely ignoring that Morales offered to bring in independent monitors to verify the election results. Completely ignoring the fact that it was the opposition that formed roving gangs that have assaulted Morales supporters and attacked pro-Morales politicians.

a reply to: Salander

Maybe, just maybe the idea of the CIA working against Conservatism here in the states isn’t true? It seems to me they’d be better off under a Republican government with the increased funding that comes with it.

And not to mention the age old practice of the CIA creating their own enemies so they can be sure of a victory..

Oh yeah. The “Liberal” media at work again. The same ones who are actively working to not cover Bernie, the most liberal candidate America has produced.



Maybe one day people will wise up to the fact that any corporate controlled media isn’t “Liberal”.

What country is going to be to blame for coups against socialist when the US becomes socialist (your kind of socialist)?

Russia?

a reply to: Xcalibur254

Same damn thing happened in Venezuela.

Whatever happened to that revolution in Venezuela anyway? The Guiado guy who made that video at a military base saying the revolution was underway? It was breaking news that week and then.. poof, disappeared. He didn't get captured, he didn't take over, and there's no armed conflict being reported many months later.

It doesn't surprise me if this could be true, the USA has been cohersing other governments or causing their replacement since back in the sixties or more. I only know about the times in the sixties up to now, I was too young before that to observe what was happening. We mess up a lot too, it seems we have to go in and clean up things later on to get rid of the troublesome people we assisted in overthrowing the government

I can't say this information is true, only that I will not be surprised if it is true.

a reply to: FlyingSquirrel

It didnt go as planned I guess. Or it did exactly what it was supposed to do. Destabilize the nation.

Dont you find it interesting how it all got under control when Russia came to save the day?

Firstly can I say that, considering the significance of the subject matter, this is one of the #tiest OPs I've seen in a while. Seriously, this sh!t is sad and really embarrassing, I mean 4.5 lines of drivel and a busted ass link.

Not only that but at nearly the end of the first page and not a single mention of the EXACT reason why the US proxies are trying to roll yet another country.

IT'S BECAUSE OF THE LITHIUM.

This is not new news. Bolivia has approximately 25% to 45% of the worlds total reserves of lithium depending on your source, and just in case you didn't pick up on that;

25% to 43% of the worlds total reserves of lithium.

You see, Morales nationalised some mining operations because he did not want to see the vast bulk of profiteering go to foreign companies, fair enough you'd reckon.

So what exactly is going on behind the scenes is not quite clear, however, you can bet that the US is almost certainly invested in this in some way. If I was having a punt I'd say it may well play out to be just another aggressive and illegal theft of resources from an independent sovereign state by one of the grubbiest countries on the planet.
