Surprise!!
Make america great again by trying to forcefully take whats not yours. Sounds about right!
Hard to believe this isn’t true
Yep. He is right.
And the far right sheep from Brazil wants the money and are willing to sell everything.
Make no mistakes, the far fight movement there has the same level of intellect and intelligence as the MAGA cult, they were drinking soap not long ago, for fuck sake.
We live in the desinformation era. Insanity.
If it walks and quacks like a duck……..
Hook up with Canada
yeah, that sounds about right
No shit. He wants all the countries in North and South America to be vassal states.
Fuck that.
Trump has posted a map showing all of South America as part of the USA. Adolf Hitler style—he has conquered all of Europe, too. Elon Musk had described Adolf Hitler as a communist, and Trump certainly doesn’t seem to be a communist, but rather an egoist..
Its not a Trump thing, its an American thing .
US always intervenes in other countries whenever they had to install a puppet in order to enable its corporations back home to grab the country’s resources or make them do what they want without any resistance .
By blaming trump is like absolving the US government of its wrongs .
Not a surprise. It’s the Donroe Doctrine.
I mean, he does constantly boast about doing precisely that to Venezuela.
“All your Amazon belong to us”…djt
Flavio being cozy to Trump probably the reason why he’s not way out ahead of Lula.
The far right is really interesting. Trump’s narrative resonates with them because Trump is talking about making their country better by actively kicking out immigrants and prioritizing traditional values.
So they want the same thing for their own country but it’s like they don’t understand that Trump is actually saying that to make the country better, you have to take from others, that by definition, including other countries that is not the United States.
Brazil’s sovereignty is as good as gone if Bolsonaro gains power. It’s insane he is not in prison for life.
Fork found in the kitchen. We will be sure to do our best to keep orange nazi pedo away
That just might fit a pattern.
Yep, and the Bolsonareiros are champing at the bit to be colonized by him.
Trump is trying the same shit with Alberta
And it’s obviously true, too.
Our fascist/extreme right parties have always been all about delivering all our shit to the US on a silver platter.
Our CIA backed dictatorship (64 through 85) was precisely this – a coup orchestrated by industrial and banking elites in cahoots with certain parts of the army and the north Americans.
The Bolsonaro family is the newer not so revised version of that dynamic. They’ll sell anything for peanuts in bribery and local power. A large part of our population will also back this, amazingly.
The USA is a kleptocracy.
Canada says Lula knows what he is talking about.
Yeah I’m skeptical of the State Departments “claims” that the US isn’t trying to meddle in another countries elections. We have decades of proof the US has done that in the past and nothing to disprove we won’t try again in the future.
That’s what he ultimately wants for all of the world. First USA, China and Russia (lol) carve up the pie and then later Americans want to eat all of it.
Probably true.
Unfortunately, everything in Brazil is rigged. The situation right now with the Supreme Court is just insane! The level of corruption is out of control.
I don’t doubt we are meddling with other countries and I betcha we played a role in germany’s afd win
He wants vassal states.
I hate Lula but he’s right here.
The Amazon for Amazon.
