Rosatom Corp., the Russian state nuclear monopoly, got a contract to build a $300 million nuclear center near La Paz, the Bolivian capital, and began negotiating a concession to develop Bolivia’s large lithium reserves. Gazprom PJSC, the Russian state-controlled natural-gas company, has been present in Bolivia since 2010. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/11/11/why-bolivian-politics-suddenly-matters-to-putin-a68128 Vlad: "These are my principles, and if you don't like them (and will honour these contracts) well, I have others." Does he really think it will be business as usual with the coup regime is he kowtows to it? And that Bolivia's lithium or oil will still be up for grabs with a US sock-puppet in charge? I would say that makes him not just lawless and cynical, but delusional as well. Unless I'm missing something.
