Brazil is looking at seriously getting tough on crime - including a license to kill criminals caught in the act.
Now this from Associated Press:
US seeks close ties with Brazil’s new leader
The Trump administration is seeking to cement close ties with Brazil’s incoming far-right leader with a visit to the country next week by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Pompeo will lead the U.S. delegation to President-elect Jair Bolsonaro’s inauguration on New Year’s Day.
The State Department said Friday that Pompeo would discuss increasing U.S.-Brazil trade and investment, particularly in the technology, defense and agriculture sectors. It said Pompeo would also raise democracy concerns about Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela as well as potential threats from China’s growing presence in Latin America.
Very cool - we do not have a really strong ally in South America - a couple "friends" but we give them huge amounts of foreign aid which just goes into the Swiss bank accounts of their elites. Brazil will set an example of what civilization can be like. Prosperity for all instead of cheap bread and circuses for the masses and palaces for the elites.
Would not mind visiting there in a couple of years.
