Dear sir, not sure what sources/groundings you'd be making use to produce your “trending” conclusions but, as a Brazilian citizen, what logical explanation would one have for the alleged “coups” in Brazil, not being materialized when our former president was still in charge and had many more followers willing him to do so?How convenient such “riots” suddenly happened a week after the “new” government took over, and various security forces i n charge of those buildings not only were neglected when notified the day before being held, once again by unknown reasons other than a “sequence of mistakes and miscommunication”, were even relieved to less soldiers in those buildings - to many coincidences to build misleading reports and conclusiong by distant (at least from my country's reality) observers like yourselve. Very respectfully, shame on you.
