President Trump’s first successful Regime Change was Eva Morales, a man whom I respected. I posted the map above because of Trump’s illegitimate claims.
đ§ What Happened in Bolivia in 2019?
- October 20, 2019: Bolivia held a general election. Incumbent President Evo Morales was declared the winner amid allegations of electoral fraud.
- OctoberâNovember 2019: Protests erupted across the country. The Organization of American States (OAS) issued a report questioning the integrity of the vote count.
- November 10, 2019: Morales resigned under pressure from the military and police. He fled to Mexico, calling the events a coup.
- November 12, 2019: Jeanine Ăñez, a right-wing senator, declared herself interim president without a formal legislative quorum.
đșđž U.S. Role: Political, Not Military
- The U.S. did not deploy troops or conduct any military operations in Bolivia during this period.
- However, the Trump administration quickly recognized Ăñezâs interim government, drawing criticism from regional governments and analysts who viewed the transition as undemocratic.
- The U.S. State Department praised the OAS audit and called for new elections, aligning with opposition demands.
- Critics argue that U.S. support for the post-Morales government, combined with historical patterns of intervention in Latin America, amounted to tacit backing of regime change.
𧚠Aftermath and Reversal
- In October 2020, Bolivia held new elections. Luis Arce, Moralesâs former finance minister and candidate of the Movement for Socialism (MAS), won in a landslide.
- This was widely seen as a rejection of the Ăñez interim government and a restoration of MASâs democratic mandate.
Summary
While the U.S. did not intervene militarily in Bolivia in 2019, it played a significant political role by endorsing the interim government that replaced Morales. The events are widely debated, with many international observers and scholars labeling it a U.S.-backed coup, though the U.S. government denies direct involvement.
President Trump has puppets in Argentina and Bolivia. He is working on Venezuela but will settle for oil.
I am quite enjoying the show. It is like watching the Book of Revelation in real time. My place in the New Jerusalem has not been secured yet. But I have the wedding invitation. Not worried.
