Brazil will not allow U.S. use its territory to invade Venezuela - vice president

62. By all means. They expect Latin American would-be leaders to lie prostrate

and wait for their orders.

They expect unconditional subservience, and they expect those fascist leaders to put the interests of the US power machine first, above the interests of the people in their countries. Everything always goes A-OK as long as the leaders throw open the doors to the countries' natural resources, allowing US businesses to plunder them while paying almost NO taxes, and to offer the multinational corporations a vast pool of such poor people they have no defenses against the lack of safety laws, the lack of pensions, even semi-livable wages, of even protection from the death squads as they come and go to and from work. The corporations hire the death squads (paramilitaries) to terrorize the workers, to keep them so paralyzed with fear, often with frequent reminders of the brutality which can be unleased upon them, to ever try too hard to form unions which will look after their needs for safety, humane working conditions, adequate salaries, and even something as simple as pulling back their deatht squads so they aren't breathing down their necks every day, even getting on the buses with them on their rides home, sometimes forcing them off the buses, torturing, then murdering them.

If fascist leaders will look after the interests of the determined, greedy power-mad military and industrial bosses, at the total expense of the working class, everything goes great for the leaders. Elections are manipulated, screwed relentless to favor the right-wingers, to make sure the leftists DON'T get elected.

I know you know this, but I try to repeat these things every chance I get, to blast through the troll "walls" to remind people who haven't taken the time to research to start using the internetS to suck up so much information that is finally becoming available, as more documents become declassified, over the years, and people can learn what the hey has been happening!

Phew.

So since Bolsonaro has allowed himself to let Bolton and Pompeo down on this one, he's probably going to HAVE to play ball next time they expect him to tie himself in knots to please him, or face some sanctions, or other forms of retribution.
