Serious: article in Foreign Policy reveals that since 2021 Biden has been working to stop the Bolsonaro government and send a message to the American opposition with the help of Brazilian authorities and military personnel

A recent article published in Foreign Policy magazine brought to light allegations that the United States, through the CIA and the Pentagon, has been actively involved in actions to stop the Bolsonaro government in Brazil since 2021. These actions would have been a direct response to the threats perceptions of a possible coup that would be led by then president Jair Bolsonaro.

According to the article, American operations included the transfer of chips to Brazilian electronic voting machines, a measure that aimed to guarantee the security and integrity of the elections. The US government, under the administration of Joe Biden, would have acted directly to ensure the implementation of electronic voting machines and the safe conduct of the electoral election.

The revelation indicates that the US motivation was not limited to a defense of democracy, but also a concern about possible internal repercussions. A successful operation by Bolsonaro could, according to the article, encourage Biden’s opponents in the United States, who had already attempted a coup on January 6, 2021.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and other members of defense cooperation between Brazil and the USA would have worked to communicate to the Brazilian military that a coup would not be accepted by the United States, aiming to maintain institutional stability and Washington’s international validation¹.

This information comes at a time of intense investigation by the Federal Police into the actions of the Bolsonaro government, which left power on December 31, 2022. The article suggests a significant change in the US stance towards Brazil, contrasting with the historical support to movements that they call undemocratic in Latin America.

The complete article about US actions and the implications for Brazilian and international politics can be found on the Foreign Policy website and other reliable journalistic sources.
