Brazil braced Friday for possible new U.S. sanctions linked to former President Jair Bolsonaro’s conviction on coup charges, after the administration of President Donald Trump warned it would respond “accordingly.”
Brazil’s Foreign Ministry called Rubio’s comments an inappropriate threat that would not intimidate the government, adding that the country’s judiciary is independent and that Bolsonaro was granted due process.
“Threats like the one made today by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a statement that attacks Brazilian authority and ignores the facts and compelling evidence in the case files, will not intimidate our democracy,” Brazil’s foreign office said on X.
Yeah this isn’t how presidents and their cabinets work.
But for some reason the Republicans ignore their crybaby leader and his DEI hires since they all helped him get into office.
I would argue that this is exactly how the US government has worked in the past, the difference was they knew how to keep their fucking mouths shut about it.
For instance the Iran Contra scandal, Cuba for the last 70 years, how many governments have we overthrown because they did something some American didn’t like?
