Your suspicions have been confirmed, Andrew, as they should have been when the US supported Lula against Bolsenaro. Moreover, Lula’s choice of Buenos Aires in which to make such an utterance is no coincidence - it speaks to America’s determination to break up BRICS, given Argentina’s application to join that organisation. And, as we speak, the US is applying similar pressure to South Africa. Next stop will be even more pressure on India.

The terrorist acts of last January 8 demonstrate how fragile President Lula's position is. Internally, the American deep state uses Brazil's traditional backward forces to reduce Lula's room for manoeuvre. While at the same time, pushes him to somehow align his geopolitical view towards that of Washington's. We have to bear in mind the US still considers the whole LatAm is his own backyard and will not tolerate any movement towards the multipolar world that shines in the horizon. The decaying empire is willing to fight in many fronts in order to avoid the rise of a multipolar world order, let's see how this battle in LatAm will be fight by the BRICS countries.
