Robert KabushengaHOST
But the most interesting thing, Charles, about that was not that there was a mutiny and guys tried to overthrow the Nigerian government, but that the deal, the Sahel deal with the Russians doesn't seem to be paying off.
Robert KabushengaHOST
And I think What was very interesting is that Junta had to rely on Italian troops because the mutiny took place in the barracks where there are, I think, high levels of uranium being held or something like that.
Robert KabushengaHOST
Well, just very quickly, did you follow that or evolution on Saturday morning?
Charles Onyango-ObboHOST

Floyd MarchPANELIST
I can't imagine.
Michael BehrPANELIST
I mean, if it's anything like the last one, A Falklands War is a make-or-break election one where Thatcher kind of won based on that, whereas in Argentina, the Junta fell apart based on the failure in the Falklands.
Michael BehrPANELIST
You know, it's all or nothing, isn't it?
Ryan DuffHOST
Yeah, and look, it's got to be said, look, so I think that when the Falklands had a referendum a few years ago, I think it was 93, 94% in favour of remaining British, right? So I think in terms of sort of self-determination, in terms of those sorts of, you know, those kind of, you know, I suppose, international mandates, you know, the United Nations sort of requirements, it feels like that is a fairly strong signal that things should kind of continue as they are.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Bolívar, who despised Ferdinand from his earlier acquaintance with him in Madrid, was not even prepared to make a token gesture of loyalty to the powerless king.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
By May 1809, the Junta appointed a new Captain General, Field Marshal Vincente Emperan, whose Inspector General happened to be Bolívar's friend, Fernando del Toro.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Emperan's authority was limited, especially after news reached Caracas that the central junta was forced to flee to Cadiz in 1810, where it dissolved itself and established a new government called the Regency.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
On the 19th of April, the Creoles staged a coup against the Captain General and removed him from power, establishing the Supreme Junta of Caracas, while continuing to declare loyalty to King Ferdinand.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Several other colonies soon followed suit, with Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Quito, and Mexico establishing their own juntas.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Bolivar had been reluctant to support the coup due to the junta's continued allegiance to King Ferdinand, but offered his services as an envoy to the British government in London.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
The junta reluctantly accepted the offer, appointed him to the rank of colonel, and sent his brother Juan Vincente on a similar mission to the United States.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
While carrying out his diplomatic mission, the headstrong and inexperienced Bolivar informed British Foreign Secretary Lord Richard Wellesley that the Venezuelans had risen up against the oppression of the Spanish crown and were intent on full independence, while accidentally handing him his instructions from the Junta, which stated the exact opposite.
Andrew NetteGUEST
There are, but I think also what happened was you find, I mean, that Argentinian director I mentioned, Raimundo Iglesias, he, I mean, his films were smuggled.
Andrew NetteGUEST
He was murdered by the Junta when it came to power in the early 70s in Argentina and he then, but his films had sort of been smuggled, copies of his films had been smuggled out of Argentina.
Andrew NetteGUEST
So that sort of happened.
Andrew NetteGUEST
That happened with some of the other writers, some of the other directors that we had in the book, as well as material that's just available, you know, that probably was available on VHS and is now still available, things like that.

Interesting.
speaker_0HOST
Let me push back on that for a second.
speaker_0HOST
If you look at this purely from the perspective of regime survival, doesn't Russian paramilitary support actually provide the Junta with the hardened security they need to stabilize the country?
speaker_1HOST
Well, it does in the short term.
speaker_0HOST
If they put down the mutiny quickly, doesn't that project strength?
ThomasGUEST
Now, what was the situation in Chile generally like? Because this is important.
ThomasGUEST
It relates to, like, out, like, the Junta punishing himself and why...
ThomasGUEST
they were such a test case and staunch resistance to communism and being a cultural anthropologist they used to write quite a bit about this you know why um why some of these in their mind and this is a superficial view of my point like why some of these latin american states seemed almost like mirror franco with spain but it spaniards and portuguese and populations derived primarily from those cultural milus.
ThomasGUEST
They're not, these people don't represent a martial race in the way we think of like the Spartans or the Prussians, but there's some deeply insinuated like military culture there.
ThomasGUEST
Okay.
ThomasGUEST
Like the, The Chilean army was very, very, very Catholic.
ThomasGUEST
The background of Pinochet himself, as well as Admiral Marino, Jose Toribo Marino Castro, they were the two most important figures in the Junta.
