France is expected to be Brazil's biggest military threat over the next 20 years and could invade the Amazon in 2035, according to a secret report published by Brazilian media on Friday.

The attack and defence strategies were based on the correct military training from both sided. When enacted they were found to be in line with their expected outcome. Both sides trained and conducted the exercise using their own military thinking.
“Kymeria” was a fictitious country made up of a group of islands off the northern coast of Australia. Indonesia played the Kymerians in the military exercises.
Here France will play the “enemy” in joint exercises on Brazilian soil. It will work well as both sides will have training on a larger scale than each would have been able to afford. The Yanks will have troops on both sides due to the fact that in Exercises only Americans are allowed to shoot and kill American troops. “It is bad for morale if American soldiers are killed by non American forces”
Making plans for far-fetched scenarios is normal. Suggesting France might actually invade Brazil is nutty - and about what we'd expect from this government.

The military have to justify that large budget somehow. Also there's gold in French Guiana; Brazilian miners are always illegally crossing the border. This government wants to take over indigenous territories to mine them, perhaps they think they can do the same with the French one?
As for Bolsonaro, he was just as crazy before he got stabbed in the gut.
