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%.

“I’d say “Marxism is bad” in Portuguese but don’t know the language.”
I can’t say it in Portuguese, but I can say it in Italian, which is widely spoken in certain areas of Brazil: Il marxismo è cattivo.

O marxismo é ruim.
“I’m pretty sure she posts on FR. Her and Vindeman”
Others have said similar, and I suspect we’re talking about the same person here (who’s been somewhat quiet lately, though, probably busy in Brazil).
I know of whom you speak.
Walk through the streets of of Rio or São Paulo, one moment it is as if you are in Paris, turn the corner and it is as if you are in the slums of Calcutta.
I thought the latter half of the 21st century would belong to Brazil, but with that poverty and a massive segment of the population that is uneducated, Brazil is going nowhere.
Paris isn’t what it used to be in the 20th century. Now it looks more and more like Algeria or Morocco.

“Brazil is the economy of the future. And it always will be.”
Very subtile but very accurate.
In Spanish I think “Karen muy malo”, not sure in Portuguese but often similar.
Buenos Aires is the better version of Paris. Cheaper too.
Or as I always put it:
1950: Beirut is the Paris of the Middle East
2022: Paris is the Beirut of Europe
Leaky Leahy and Bernie Sanders, both hardcore communists.
If Lula’s new greener stance pleases the US, there is much more dissatisfaction with his close relationship with the regimes of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Lula was also a great advocate of BRICS, the bloc made up of India, Russia, China, South Africa and Brazil which some saw as a challenge to western power.
Bernie Sanders, Leaky Leahy ping. Devil insures his minions live long, safe lives.
William Burns mentioned in the article is affiliated with both communist China and the Carnegie Endowment...
Does China own the Brazilian voting machines?
Bolsonaro is strongly pro-Israel, so I assume the Deep State's Neocon faction supports him.
The Deep State's rising BIPOC faction, not so much.
Both Deep State factions support Third World migration into the West. But the Neocons prioritize Israel, while the BIPOCs prioritize the Third World.
The Deep State is real, but it's not a monolith. As I said before, with Biden being a zombie, I don't think anyone is in charge at the moment.
The Pentagon, intelligence community, Big Finance, Big Media, Big Tech, and Big Pharma agree on the general direction of the great reset, but they are occasionally riven by internal conflicts and power struggles.
