oh also i don't think it was mentioned in this thread but the us put out an arrest warrant (for corruption of course) for that venezuelan military intelligence chief who joined guaido's coup attempt earlier this year, and now the guy has gone into hiding in spain which probably sends a great message to any potential future venezuelan coup participants

more protesters shot with live ammunition today, in El Alto this time, by soldiers clearing a path through the barricades for fuel trucks leaving the refinery. like last time, not posting the videos, you can look them up yourself if you really want to see dead people. in the various videos I've seen at least three people who were definitely dead and twice that many who probably were. the fuel trucks immediately went straight to the nearest army base.

the one piece of good news here is that the army would not have done that if they were not getting desperately short on fuel, which is not surprising considering the scale of the operation they're running. makes me wonder how badly their other resources are getting strained. in short it means that they can't sustain this kind of operational tempo forever, if the people can remain on the streets long enough they may be able to basically starve the army out.

it is honestly shocking how one-sided the violence has been, for all the chants of 'civil war now' there has been very little active resistance to the military so far. a few cops and soldiers have been struck with sticks and boards and similar blunt objects and a few more have been hit with rocks and bricks, none of them seriously enough to require hospitalization. there may have been some armed protesters firing back at the military during the confrontation in Cochabamba but if so they were few in number and using extremely low quality civilian firearms (there is really not much you can do against a helicopter gunship with a rusty single-barreled break-open shotgun), and the only evidence we have that even that happened is the military showing off some discarded guns they supposedly captured. the coup government is being forced to resort to a bunch of blatantly false and outlandish claims in order to make the violence seem even somewhat justified - in this case the explanation they're using is that the protesters blocking their fuel trucks were intending to dynamite the oil refinery and destroy the entire city. in Cochabamba one of the coup's government ministers suggested that the protesters may have shot themselves in order to make the government look bad. the most infuriating part of this whole thing is how much pro-coup Bolivian posters on social media just eat these obvious lies up, instantly and completely convinced that indigenous protesters intended to blow up their own neighborhood for no reason Mister Bates has issued a correction as of 01:25 on Nov 20, 2019 |

That's not really surprising, most cultures around the world are decently peaceful and not frothing to go to war at a moment's notice like Americans are.

an Argentine journalist and a Mexican photographer are currently trapped inside a military cordon in Senkata, they're saying that everyone who attempts to leave is getting shot and that the police are hunting them specifically. these are the guys responsible for getting most of the footage of today's massacre out. https://twitter.com/F_ortegazabala/status/1196959902041870336

It's incredible just how often western politicians and the media are trying to let the coup save face. As if they don't understand that nobody cares about putting on a good show for libs anymore.

https://twitter.com/danicacoto/status/1196887339739602944?s=21 Kind of taking a backseat to Bolivia at the moment for obvious reasons but there has been a popular uprising going on in Haiti that is seeing murderous crackdowns as well. Basically everywhere in the Western Hemisphere south of the US is either in left wing hands or facing intense popular uprisings and violent reprisals.
