Bolivian Military Tries to Storm President’s Palace in Apparent Coup Attempt
The democratically elected president, Luis Arce, called on Bolivians to mobilize against those trying to seize power, as troops filled a central square and tried to force their way into the palace.
Reportedly the Coup is over already. With the Military allegedly taking the apparent Coup Leader and his staff into custody.
Officially once they realized his intention to overthrow the Government. Unofficially. I’d imagine someone else came and offered substantial sums to key commanders to stand down and return to their barracks. Undercutting the coup’s support at the knees.
Likely whoever arranged the attempted Coup is frothing mad someone else bribed the Officers they already bribed.
The General who lead it should avoid any Helicopters or Planes in the immediate future though.
It was a fake coup like the Wagner coup in Russia, designed to make the President look good.
Correct, it was a montage by the president who has the support of the socialist Morales, it was to make him look like a hero who "fought" against the "coup plotters."
Looks to me like the commie were running the country and patriots or a different group of a-holes,tried to take control.
I think it’s the old commie President trying to oust the current commie President.

Actually, it might have been the current President who ordered the coup against himself! He might have pulled an Erdogan!

Looks like it.
Read this and couldn't help but think of the ending of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, when the two of them are surrounded by the Bolivian Army.

We had a coup here in America, not heavily reported, but it happened in the 2020 election. The real winner was defeated through cheating, not one court wanted to hear the case(s). What a real shame. Yet, no consequences for the treasonous traitors that perpetrated the coup. We are still waiting for the punishment for the lawbreakers.
THE CIA HAS FAILED IN BOLIVIA.
Stand down orders.
