A bit of levity on this dreary morning,
Evo Morales threatens to send his army into Brazil to defend Dilma, Lula, and the PT (link in Portuguese).
The Brazilians’ reaction? “One of our Boy Scout troops can beat up all of Evo’s army any day.”
Failing that, they can always try out for Radio City Music Hall.
Seriously, does Bolivia even have a functioning arm forces? I thought Evo have a more serious problem as he’s trying to remake the constitution so he can be president for life. (Or as a punchline in a James Bond movie, he’s only President, for life).
He’s trying to create a distraction.
I’m pretty sure Bolivia hasn’t won a war since… ever, repeatedly getting it’s trousers handed to it by Brazil already, along with Chile and friggin’ Paraguay.
That’s true Nick, and I doubt “Evo’s troops,” whatever they are, are willing to risk hide and hair for Lula, of all people.
