1. This is unbelievable. He thinks he can force everyone to stay in his/her house, without groceries,
money, fuel, etc. and gives his military full rights to murder these people where they stand once they see them.

He is saying they have complete control of all the country and every person it it.

How can they be allowed to do this? Apparently he has taken his courage from the fact previous US-supported military juntas, and coups leading to placement of puppet dictators like Pinochet as his model.

Thanks for breaking the news, Downwinder. This is grotesque. 45 days. That will let everyone go outside just in time to go vote for the coup-supporting candidates.

2. I think we now know why the "Ice Queen" wanted to delay the UN.

3. They're not even pretending that the rule of law is intact any more.

They can justify killing anyone.

4. They are challenging the ... US... or... Brazil... or... to attack ... or
maybe they know that will never happen so they can get away with it.

The only way to stop them appears to be with troops.

They are surely getting all the dough they need to continue from their buddies in Miami and elsewhere.
