Brazil election: Why it matters so much to the US
BBC News ^ | September 21, 2021 | Mariana Sanches

In less than two weeks, one of the world's biggest democracies will hold what many are describing as its most important presidential election in years. The US has been watching this vote in Brazil closely. Why?

There aren't many issues that staunch opponents in Washington ever agree on.

But they are united on this.

"This is going to be one of the most intense and dramatic elections in the 21st Century," former Trump aide Steve Bannon tells the BBC.

"The fate of Brazil's democracy and of US relations with Brazil will be decided in the upcoming election," says Senator Patrick Leahy, one of a number of Democrats taking a strong interest in the election.

At a recent reception in Washington to mark 200 years since Brazil gained independence from Portugal, the talk was of little else.

There are several reasons why this election has grabbed the attention of the US - trade, democracy, Trump and climate change.

The fates of the two countries have felt entwined of late, as they face similar challenges and share common interests. Both endured huge death tolls in the pandemic and now face inflation levels above 8%.

This election is HUGE for the Globalists, so they’re pulling out all of the stops. If Bolsonaro gets re-elected, then Brazil will have the freedom to necessary develop into a FIRST WORLD power.

If Bolsonaro loses, then Brazil will have to live on the receiving end of the WEF ‘sustainability project’.

Same deal with Argentina, in fact around the turn of 20th Century, Argentina nearly had the similar standard of living just like USA. Obviously, they fell behind since then and never caught up.

I’d say “Marxism is bad” in Portuguese but don’t know the language.

It's important for the US because the outcome could result in millions and millions of illiterate,disease ridden,Third World Brazilians arriving at our border.

“How does it look? How are Bolsonaro’s chances?”

I’m not following closely, but I think the Neocons succeeded in strangling Brazil’s economy, so not good.

...but hopefully the above is wrong!

Lula will win. Most people are poor so they will vote for the Socialist. But this is Brazil. So I guess they can do a coup. But this isn’t the ‘70s or the ‘80s. So Bolsonaro is not going to do that.

The Globalist and traitors in the US government are trying to pull off the color revolution of the century for the Southern Hemisphere. The demons who rigged our elections are all in on destroying Brazil... if they succeed they will then double down and forever destroy human agency in the US in 24. If they fail, we might actually get to live in a free republic for a while longer.

Huge death tolls in the pandemic? Really? But of course during that whole time according to these guys, the flu, which kills many seniors and other immunity deficient people every year just vanished and all the deaths were suddenly counted as Covid deaths to pad the death count. Nice try but we’re on to them.

Our medical field and the CDC under Fauci are the biggest liars on the planet and some day they will pay dearly for it.

"says Senator Patrick Leahy, one of a number of Democrats …"

If Leahy is involved you know it's corrupt. How do these evil old sacks of scheisse live so long? A pact with Satan? Most likely, most likely. I will celebrate the day this old commie meets his end.

“Is there any country this ukrainian bitch doesn’t meddle in?”

That’s the thing - people here, to a person (me included) will beat up on Soros night and day, yet there seems to be a sizeable contingent of Neocon supporters who NEVER have a bad thing to say about Victoria Neuland. It’s like she doesn’t exist in the world, yet she is likely now responsible for more deaths than anyone other than Hitler and a handful of Communist leaders.
