    REF: “US military base in Brazil”:

    The Base PRIMARILY is for the protection of Brazil; so it's obvious that Brazil MUST cough-up the necessary dough for its establishment, maintenance, etc.

    SECONDARILY - and also obviously - The South America NEEDS the direct liaison, transport, etc. facilities to quickly export - in response to the growing demands by the BIGGEST IMPORTER of drugs.

    Obviously, The Base is THE Topmost-Priority Of Course!

    It really wouldn't make much sense unless Trump was planning on eventually invading Venezuela, but he's not that crazy. Maybe instead it could be for protecting a group of luxury Trump resorts, but it seems overkill.
    In the end, the announcement will certainly trigger some social justice warriors.

    “the president wants to move Brazil’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, but that logistical considerations were standing in the way.”

    Lol, yes, 2,000,000 tonnes of halal meat is quite a logistical consideration.

    Didn't Obama build a military base in Chile? I wonder if they have their eye on your bit of Antarctica? With global warming it might become increasingly accessible, and it's a whole unexplored continent full of minerals and oil.

    Of course not!

    Even the staunchest DT-Supporter knows that the USA is no match against Russia+China in Venezuela & also knows that from the rear-end of the USA, the Russia+Iran cum is still oozing, which was so gratefully acquired in the Middle-East wars.

    Hence count on the ulterior/unpublished/shady motives.

    Is this tactic of paying for security your own? Maybe you copied Al Capone's modus operandi? Or is it that America has gone from being a country to a militia?

    In any case, a US military base in Brazil would not do much good, since Russia's military technology is known to be far superior to that of the USA.

    With the word the Syrian people.

    Jerusalem has however now been officially recognized as the official capital of Israel. Keeping the embassy in Tel Aviv is fine. (Frankly speaking, the Palestinians are being sold out by the Saudis.)

    Did you see the latest headline: “President Bolsonaro to Fire Hundreds of 'Communist' Government Employees” https://www.breitbart.com/latin-america/2019/01/04/brazil-bolsonaro-promises-fire-communist-government-employees/

    ...Interesting...

    Regarding the highly secret joint military attack base generously funded by our Northern ally... ...it remains highly classified, but is obviously strategically located for total and absolute domination of our rightful Chilean National territory in Antarctica.

    ALL our post-Allende presidents have enthusiastically nurtured close military relations with the UK, followed by the USA 1990. (We really love all those General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcons.)

    Whale hunting will be judicially and reasonably licensed to the Japanese, with petroleum concessions administered by ExxonMobil. The annual sustainable and humanely managed abattoirs of penguin harvests will be handled by the Chinese.

    Onyx Lorenzoni is very slippery. It will be difficult to hold him in the Civil House.

    The hunting of members of the workers' party is the hunting of the Brazilian people. We will not allow it.

    That said, I hope you understand the sensationalism of information.

    That's exactly what I'm saying!

    Judging from their [lack of] performance; against the not-so-latest Syrian, Iraqi, Afghani & of course the Vietnamese weaponry; the very well-equipped USA-Forces got raped thoroughly [but refuse to admit].

    So imagine their fate against the Russians, Inarians, Chinese, etc. [the Chinese must be waiting patiently in the queue; for their turn to watch the chinese-cum oozing out of the ALL American hind]. Don't you think so too?

    Regarding firing Communists from government:

    Actually, you really don't even have to be a devout Communist, you could just be a “left leaning according to some...”

    Deutsche Welle (DW)
    “Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's administration on Thursday launched a purge of government officials who don't share its far-right ideology.”

    MSM
    “Having taken office this week, Jair Bolsonaro has launched a purge of left-wing government officials with approximately 300 people expected to be dismissed.”

    O Globo, Folha de S.Paulo, The Independent, APNews, France24... All must be also fake news...

    Meanwhile Terry, your idolized criminal Lula da Silva rots in prison...
    ...oh look, someone's cutting down a tree again...

    Truly glorious times for true conservative liberation!

    ”you could just be a “left leaning according to some...” Thereby confirming it's not true, and your role of accessory after the fact. As I have posted the unreliability of your source twice before.

    Please give the crooks a chance to be regretful. They may even seek pardon from the masses:

    Gosh, now Mercopress is reporting what you assured me was fake. Golly, maybe all the hallucinating O Globo reporters are falling for the “ fake news”...

    “He also really needs to check out...”
    Continuing your 'Freudian slips', Freud said 'Thought is a Roundabout Way of Wishing'. It's not difficult to surmise what your thoughts are, since you can't refrain from revealing them.
    He also said ”The Unconscious. Nothing Comes “Out of the Blue.”

    @Chicureo
    Its great to see the 100s of petistas who held high positions in Dilma's, and still in Temer's governments, being kicked out. Even Temer gave the order to clean out quite a few petistas when he was named interim president (June 2016). An extremely necessary, and healthy measure. Confirmed by all major news outlets.
    Some governors have even started their own purges, firing 1000s of petistas taken on by previous PT State governments. Besides eliminating those who'd pull in the wrong direction, humongous savings.
