    Good move; but Brazil should protect itself too, and combat a possible US-backed coup d’état.

        Actually prosecuting the perpetrators rather than giving olive-branch after olive-branch like Biden did seems far more effective at reducing the risk of another coup (or electoral comeback based on claims the courts are being weaponized since they’re no conviction to point at).

      the only way to prevent that is to get paranoid and start arresting/executing your staff/cabinet; every time that happens, the country gets managed worse and then your people overthrow you themselves.

        that happens mainly when the US coups.

        if government workers are far-right, then it’s best to dismiss them and help them find another normal job. Another worker then can be hired.

        Generally, a government worker should be expected to do as the law says, insofar the law is not repressive for the community. When the law favours the far-right and reactionaries, then it is not reasonable, and it is duty to rise up.

        When the law favours neutrality, that is, not bribed in favour for fascism, then it is reasonable.

    Meanwhile, here in Europe, we signed a one-way deal to buy energy from the US. That sound like a shit deal

      Yeah, you guys need to get your shit together quick. There’s a lot of money being pumped in to highjack your democracies now that the process has been proven in the US

      It’s going to start with control over social media, censorship, saving the children. With an undertone of straight up fascism

    Juan Guaidó has been recently spotted with hope in his eyes. Witnesses report that he was whispering “put me in, coach”.
