The Otto Declaration to the Bolivia autonomy rebels

He looked in the mirror
and said, "¿Y que quiere decir 'RESOL'?"


Dear Scum,

The game is up. You have caused your own little brand of havoc for a few weeks, but you are now isolated and friendless. Despite the image you try to project of having split Bolivia down the middle, it is in fact a little over 300,000 people in one single city in Bolivia that is making most of the noise (and here are the numbers to prove it).

With the Unasur declaration tonight, you are getting the biggest and luckiest chance of your lives to get out of this unscathed. The leaders of all major South American countries have really been quite lenient. This time around they've said "stop doing that", and not "stop doing that or else we'll.......". If you're really, really stupid you'll continue to poke Brazil with a pointy stick, turn off their gas supply and then find out what the biggest country in the region really can do with the 2.5% of its GDP it uses for military and defence spending.

You now have a clear choice:

Choice one) Stop your temper tantrum, take that mask of self importance off, and come crawling to the negotiating table. There you'll find a President who will give you a few concessions with which you can try and claim victory.

Choice two) Be squashed like flies. You think the USA will come running to the rescue now? You expect them to take on the whole continent in order to save your scrawny asses? Not even dubya is that stupid.

Y'know, there's a little corner of me that wants you to try and tough this out. It will cause more bloodshed for sure, but then the world will be rid of you pondslime once and for all. But in the end, I'll go for peace and compromise. However, I'm surely looking forward to the moment the new constitution takes away all but 10,000 hectares from Branco (because all this freedom BS is a front, and that's been the real reason all along).

Love and Kisses,

Otto
