Brazil needs money to make its political machine(with all the graft that it entails) work. China is giving much more money than the West is. It's similar to what happened before WWII, except that the US had both deeper pockets(and was more forthcoming with them) and the ability and will to really fuck up Brazil. Right now, that second thing is one of the few things preventing Brazil from going all the way with China.

US Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) mentioned this as well. He's suggesting the US needs to focus & be aggressive in the Western Hemisphere!

Destroy Russia as a Rival first, then deal with china.
Sooner or later, the PRC will FALL: I would like to be alive when that happens. If not, my children & future grandkids will likely be around when it happens.

Dictatorships have a history of falling all over the world if you've ever studied History in college.

China has centralized all power into a singular person under xi and this has never ended well in Chinese history.

The communists are fucked but china itself I can see that country being reborn as something better

Oh, I agree that would be a bigger priority for the USA. It doesn't make a difference. Lula needs the money NOW, and he will side with the ones who deliver. The next president to come will do the same, and so will the one after that. It's a matter of political survival. Unless the agro-exporting sector earns so much money that it's able to quench the thirst of the Brazilian political class, this is what will happen.

By the way, what's this been hearing from other Brazilians here in Italy that "Bitchy" Baerbock complaining we care more about beans than democracy?

I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.

Basically every Brazilian President pimping themselves out to the highest bidder.
