    Everyone involved should be at high alert. At this point though, the coup regime is in such a weak position that I don't think there is anything they can pull in the short term. They have lost the support of the US liberal media. As much as papers like New York Times and Washington Post would love to run cover for Latin American fascists, there is no way they can do it now without showing their whole ass. They are already in a pretty embarrassing position. It seems very likely that MAS will take charge of the country's institutions.

    IMO the imperialist play from here is to pivot to the long game. Acts of sabotage, propaganda, driving wedges between constituent groups of the proletariat, bribing state officials. They could try another coup, sure, but such a government would be starting out with even less legitimacy then the Anez government started with. Instead, they will try to undermine the project and prove socialism to be a failure.
