This is hilarious, they will win by a bigger margin than the elections of last year which were deemed as fraud by the opposition and OAS/OEA with a subsequent coup to remove Morales.

 

So, it basically would prove that either a) the fraud was not such and it was all staged (by whatever actors) to remove the government or b) the coup and following circus pissed off people so much that they went and voted for socialist party when they had not voted for them last year.

 

 

Lots of political lessons to be learned from this.

I am not a fan of Morales’ political party, but this feels like cosmic justice.

Two weeks till the election, so naturally Joe Biden is going to take a holiday.  Nothing to do with having to dodge awkward questions about his corrupt whore-mongering cokehead son, of course - he just wants to catch up with Emily in Paris on Netflix.

I wonder why almost no western countries admit Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent country or at least show their support of Armenian separatist. Because for me, the situation of Karabakh is very similar to Kosovo. They both are ethnical minority groups of their original country and have very strong determination to be independent. And the origin of the dispute is also similar, it's the reverse of historical migration and settlement between majority and minority ethnical groups. Usually western countries will show support for the weaker minority side. If so, it will definitely help end this humanitarian disaster with civilians randomly dying everyday.

because Europe is politically dominated by Germany...and Germany, despite some random whining, politically is completely submissive to Erdogan and Turkey...they will never go against him for real...

 

therefore, there's no chance Armenia (historical enemy of Turkey) is going to receive any official support from EU and their main Countries...

 

and you're right...there are a lot of similarieties with Kosovo, the only enormous difference being that in Kosovo's case GER and EU had their interest in supporting them rather than Serbia (who are politically too close to Russia to get support from EU)...

 

in Italy, we have a proverb speaking of "2 weights and 2 different measuring systems" to underline the lack of consistency in any sort of judgment/behaviour...this is a typical case well explained by that proverb...
