@anneapplebaum Russia plays both sides politically. They are the champions of the far left and the far right. Thats why Putin said he didnt care who won in Brazil bc he had great relations with both. Great relations mean they will both be ok with him killing people. Bolivias far left government cant criticize Russia bc they are an extension of Russia, exactly like far right governments that will do the same. Right and left have no meaning, its all theatre for Putin.

Did South American countries recall ambassadors and cut their ties with Russia when the Russian army destroyed the city of Mariupol, killing and displacing tens of thousands of people? I can't remember that happening https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/31/bolivia-israel-hamas-gaza-war-crime
