Further diminishment of American power. Pressure can’t exist without credibility and respect. The Biden Administration is a joke.
Brazil allows two Iranian warships to dock in Rio despite US pressure
By Reuters, Feb 27, 2023
Story continues below advertisementRIO DE JANEIRO, Feb 27 (Reuters) – Two Iranian warships docked in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday after Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s government granted permission despite pressure from the United States to bar them.
The IRIS Makran and IRIS Dena warships both arrived on Sunday morning, Rio’s port authority said in a statement.
Reuters earlier this month reported that Brazil had bowed to U.S. pressure and declined Iran’s request for the vessels to dock in Rio in late January, in a gesture from Lula as he flew to Washington to meet U.S. President Joe Biden.

Lula is birds of a feather with Biden in terms of appeasing and making nice with Islamo-terror Iran. Now you know why that recent election there was so rigged.

Biden helped install the communist regime in Brazilia
China owns the Lula regime and Biden gave Brazil to China
Perhaps because the deal is to not totally take over the USA… Brazil becomes Czechoslovakia…

Biden did not help install a communist regime in Brazil, Biden did not give Brazil to China. You surely cannot believe that nonsense yet you still publish it.

You weren’t following the story then…
China tried to buy up Brazil and was on its way of getting there. China needs the resources.
Bolsonaro got in the way of that plan and started to approach the USA and wanted to pivot the country toward the US-led West.
Then came the fishy election. But before that the Marxist Brazilian Supreme Court changed the laws that prevented convicts to run for office and freed Lula from prison.
Then Lula wins but a number of Brazilian states protest along with Bolsonaro and his supporters siting irregularities, voter suppression in pro-Bolsonaro states, and election machine chicanery.
During this political conflict, Biden dispatched Sullivan to threaten Bolsonaro and Brazil to accept Lula’s victory. Lula also came to DC to meet with the DependsDespot.
With Lula the sale to China of Brazil’s energy and resource assets is picking up and Brazil is shifting back to the “non-aligned” camp with Iran, Russia, and the rest of them.
Lula is a nasty communist thug who said during his last term that people with blue eyes caused the financial crisis and world poverty.
His Court allies are now instituting social media and media censorship, have put hundreds into prison on “insurrection” charges (where have we seen this before?). They threatened journalists and talk show hosts.
The Biden China angle is simple: China is after the Americas. Including the USA, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and wherever there are resources China needs.
By letting it have Brazil the US could push China out (at least limitedly) from Canada and the USA. Canada is now on its way to exposing Chinese election meddling which may start to endanger the Trudeau regime.

This is dangerous and allows Iran to have closer access to the US which is not good for our security.

Russia doesn’t invade Ukraine unless they get rid of Trump.
Iranian ships don’t dock in Brazil unless they get rid of Bolsonaro.

I thought Biden and de Silva were buddies?

And just as the Russia/Ukraine war would likely never have happened under Trump, this business of Iranian warships coming into Brazilian waters would never have transpired if Bolsonaro were still leading the country. Stolen elections DO have consequences regardless of where.

U.S. Pressure? What a joke! Pressure from Biden? Our woke Pentagon? In my long life, 80+ years, the dems have never understood that negotiating from position of weakness will only get us in more trouble. And with this corrupt bunch in Washington, it’s even worse than before.
