Zuniga was inspired by Prigozhin's coup attempt. First, fail to storm the capital, second, pretend you were actually loyal the whole time to the current leader.

Steven 29 minutes into a 50 minute video: "This is where our story really begins."

I love you man and the background was really interesting and important, but that was too funny

[Kanadabalsam]

As a Bolivian i really look forward to seeing your analysis of this whole situation, great to see people talking about our country, love your content man.

Just a little correction. Bolivia didn't officially lost territory to Brazil. What happened was that a group of rouge Brazilians conquered a territory without Brazilian goverment permission. When called to settle the situation Brazil tried to argue it's citizens out of there, but ultimately they had to compensate Bolivia by giving in exchange another piece of land plus some money

Zuñiga rolls worst military coup ever, immediately asked to leave

I legit didn't look at the length of the video, clicked on it, expected a quick overview of the coup, stayed for the whole history class LOL

As a Chilean, its pretty weird seeing my neighbour country having a cou... hope the best for Bolivians.

Totally unrelated, but that german helmet on top of the tournament helmet is just hilarious.

This is definitely one of the most embarrassing coups of this decade

Re: Lithium, there are a lot of new economic deposits found in the US very recently. There's one on par with what's in Bolivia found near the Nevada-Oregon Border, and I've seen reports of other places in the US having non trivial deposits as well.

Bolivia in the 1980's: We have civilian democracy! We are stable and we just need to fix our debt! Good thing we have a stable export!
Tin Crash of 1985: Hello there, we would like to introduce ourselves.

Totally understand. History builds on itself. This is why sometimes as a history teacher, it can be hard to determine a good starting point for people.

You did a pretty good job. There's a couple of minor errors here and here, but I get it, my country is REALLY hard to understand, especially looking from the outside, and sources are scarce and often contradictory, so you get a pass. I especially appreciate the explanation of the current compound crisis. I'm recomending your video to my fellow Bolivians!

[flyingdutchmanindustries]

VERY well done! The amount of research alone required to do something like this is staggering. And then the editing! Ahhh! 😂
Good job 👍

Bolivians "tourist" to Peru have increased from 3000 to 30000 in the first 5 months of the year vs last year. (2023vs2024)

[levimarken]

You're one of the few things that I look forward to every week thank you for your videos
