*mass popular protests against wildly unpopular and corrupt regimes with horrible fiscal records in Venezuela and Bolivia*

Damn you, America!!!!!!1!!1!1ONE

eh, i used to think protests were 100% usda organic, but nowadays it's fair to suspect the cia has a hand in things, particularly when the object of discontent is in conflict with the strategic interests of the us or its cronies


You have a far higher opinion of the American intelligence community than me if you think any role we played in millions protesting was more than a drop in the bucket.

The protests in Chile are far larger, and the military isn't stepping in and saying the president should resign.
In Bolivia, a country with huge deposits of minerals with incredibly high value today (e.g., lithium), somehow the military is compelled to step in.

Now, we have a region in which we know for a fact the US tend to help overthrow democratically elected left-wing governments and install military dictatorships that serve their economic interests. And we have a country with a democratically elected left-wing government, in this region, rich in minerals that the US want, suddenly subjected to a military coup.

Would it be really inconceivable that the US were involved here?
