    1. Evo Morales, Bolivia's ex-president but head of its governing party, fully embraced the Russian line in his Sunday radio show. Rejects the word "invasion," calls it "establishing sovereignty." @LaRazon_Bolivia/1497947177229897733

    This was not a slip, but a confusing rant, expressing disappointment in widespread accurate understanding of the conflict: “here the people believe there was an invasion, an intervention by Russia.

      "No, NATO is the one responsible for this conflict between Ukraine and Russia." Says Europe "mustn't be complicit in genocide" and "if something must be done it is to indict NATO, that it must disappear."

        "I comment on this because some of our brothers, perhaps because of lack of communication or information, are blaming Russia (saying) it's invading, (but) no. Russia is only establishing its sovereignty, so that it won't be subject to aggression."

          Also says "the problem will be resolved" if the peace accord is respected and Ukraine refuses NATO from entering.

            I always remind myself that Evo Morales was literally targeted by the DEA and the US embassy for decades. But this rant reflects a feedback loop where a politician is believing the propaganda sources that amplify him.

              Also, clear implication is that Russia was extremely unpopular at this meeting. @CarwilBJ/1497744223478685696
