Good on #Brazil.

The senior ofcl drew a distinction between this diplomatic mission & efforts by the #US govt in 2022 [under #Biden] to fortify Brazilian #democracy & avert a #military takeover. In the lead-up to that #election, #JairBolsonaro [aping #Trump] repeatedly sought to sow doubt over Brazil’s electoral system, which he [falsely] alleged was rife with fraud.
#JairBolsonaro, a former #military officer, simultaneously worked to #politicize the Brazilian military & warned of a democratic “rupture” if his power was threatened.
Two days after Bolsonaro proclaimed that “the army is on our side,” then-Defense Secretary #LloydAustin spoke out in support of #democracy in #Brasília & about the need for #civilian control of the military.

The snr ofcl said he saw #US #intelligence assessments at the time that found “there is no credibility to these accusations against the credibility of #Brazil’s electoral system.”
…Following the #election, #JairBolsonaro tried to overturn the results showing he had lost to #Lula & initiate a #military #coup, but most of the country’s generals balked at the plan. Last year, he was convicted of attempting to overthrow the Brazilian state & sentenced to 27 years in prison….

#FlávioBolsonaro, who is trailing in the polls, appeared to echo his father’s false allegations this week in a meeting with diplomats. He said #Brazil’s voting machines were made by the Venezuelan company #Smartmatic & vulnerable to fraud — claims rebutted by the Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court.
International observers have asserted repeatedly that Brazil’s electoral system is sound. -

International observers have asserted repeatedly that Brazil’s electoral system is sound.Every “observation mission to #Brazil since 2018, when they started, including the 2022 presidential #election, has found the country’s electoral system to be secure, reliable & fully capable of producing legitimate election results,” said Benoni Belli, the Brazilian ambassador to the Organization of American States.

@Nonilex if Brazil could put trump in prison for 27 years I would actually start buying and drinking coffee again after 45 years.

No, USA has old refineries, ideal ones for Venezuela's oil. USA produces light oil, ideal ones for modern refineries, and export it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/07/24/us-sending-envoys-question-brazilian-electoral-system-officials-say/@Nonilex To be perfectly frank, with the way Project 2025 is having world leaders assassinated or kidnapped left and right, this may be less a matter of fighting misinformation and more a matter of national defense for them...

to put it simply: the US held the refineries while Venezuela had the oil, but Nicolas Maduro stopped that cooperation, mainly because the US was an extremely demanding partner, Maduro decided to sell to Asia instead

The US has a nerve questioning the election process anywhere, given the corruption and gerrymandering they encourage every election. -
