Bolsonaro lost to the former incarcerated President Lula tonight. In Brazil everyone 16 and older are required to vote or pay a fine. Lula went to the poor and paid them to vote for him.

Link?

huh ? I'm not good with geopolitics but apparently the OP is. It might be helpful.

I am not going to throw shade at them when we have joestupid in the WH. I bet Bolsonaro won and got cheated by some globalist shenanigans.

I would like to see 0-0 and his take. Bolsonaro was no angel.

Scratch that ask Gisell Fetterman who thinks swimming in the US is racist. She is Brazilian.

I think he’s (0-0) in the wrong country.

Argentina.

Argentina shares a border with Brazil, his opinion is relevant. I also want to know what 0-0 thinks about this.

True. Just thought the assumption was that he was Brazilian.

Lula is a step backwards for Brazil.

Brazil has smart international trade practices and Lula has already been president and is no newcomer to the political arena. He’ll do fine as long as he doesn’t push any radical changes.

Smart countries know what cosmetic changes can be done for internal political gain and what global economic practices are better left alone.
Guess Brazil is to big to fail in that aspect.

Brazil is also a large US partner. Have to be really dumb to fuck with that, IMO.

Not like my own country.

We don’t want no - more - stinking commies in the area!

By no means Brazil wants to be in the same sack (of shit) with Venezuela and Cuba, and aspiring Argentina. Even left leaning Bolivia took some distance from them.
Too proud and well intentioned to drop that low.

0-0

Bolsonaro won every region of Brazil except for the one which coincidentally happens to be the most corrupt part of the country, Nordeste, which is controlled by drug traffickers and gangs.

My link is I own a small hotel in Cumbuco and a couple my local employees tell me what’s happening in their parts of town.

Anecdotal evidence then. Got it.

Then Bolsonaro will be back. Lula's got a history of getting his presidencies curtailed.

Thanks 0-0. I appreciate your opinion and know you reside in Argentina. As Smudge said I thought your opinion would be relevant and it was.

FWIW, China means CASH and the whole region is desperate for much needed investment.

Not a clue what the brazilians are doing with China’s money and what strings come along with it.

My country, Argentina, has been acting slutty with China and Russia and announced the most absurd infrastructure improvements (nuclear plant on a ship (we would be the lab rats for the russians), a chinese Area 51, etc. Voting in international forii to support Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela over Human Rights violations and such.
Our behavior, both internally and internationally has deprived us of investers. Corruption is way expensive to maintain and leaves little money to put where it’s needed.

Have never noticed Lula’s Brazil act that incredibly stupid back when he was in power.
There’s a huge price to pay for being so arrogant and stupid as Argentina.

0-0

Really, you think the 'media' will provide more reliable info than that provided by JG's employees w/ direct knowledge? I'm sure it's just as reliable as anything you can 'report' about what's going on in your town in Minnesota...

If you're gonna start a thread, you gotta do better than drive-by commentary. Need to provide a link or, two, that readers can gain some perspective and reference. We have an international audience here.

As for da Silva getting back into the presidency, we'll see, his history isn't a bright one. He'll accelerate growth within BRIC and attempt to be a player on the world stage to upend the existing economic order at the expense of this own populace

My bad I didn’t know I had to hold everybody’s hands. I’m sure you expected all those linked news articles to not be liberal and translated into English for you too.
