There was no coup in Bolivia. A crooked pol got thrown out by the people. Mass protests are not an earmark of a coup.

I agree massive protests are very often an intelligence operation, but the reason this happened was to undo the nationalization of lithium, in particular, but of most of Bolivia's mineral and underground resources.

I would have thought the reason this happened is that Morales changed the constitution to let him run again, then stacked the constitutional court to get the rulings he wanted then lost the election so stopped counting the votes until that could be fixed. Now I see that none of that matters. What matters is lithium.

Now I can see this is the Latin American strongman who deserved to rule forever.
