More on Chile/Bolivia

Scorpion is (I believe) Chilean.
The quote appears to be a machine translation of the original Spanish "Runner Bolivian" makes sense when you take it literally into Spanish - "Corredor Boliviano" which, in the context of the article, means "Bolivian Corridor".
Bolivia is landlocked, and lost it's "corridor" to the Pacific Ocean in the mid 1800s after a dispute/war with Chile.
Basically, the area in dispute, while a desert, is rich in minerals, and commercially a valuable resource.
Or 1/2 Chilean, to be technically correct. Just mix all the flags in my signature in a pot, and you got my nationality. 
Besides, anybody reading the quote would still get pretty much the same message.
