By Pepe Escobar and Quantum Bird – Special for The Saker Blog
The Empire of Chaos could never be accused of deploying Sun Tzu subtlety. Especially when it comes to dealing with the satrapies.
In the case of Brazil, former BRICS stalwart reduced to the status of a proto-neo-colony under an aspiring Soprano-style “captain”, the Men Who Run the Show applied standard procedure.
First they sent the Deep State, as in CIA’s William Burns. Then they sent National Security, as in advisor Jake Sullivan. Both visits delivered the same message: toe the line – or else.
Nuances do apply. The Deep State wants the current proto-neo-colony status of Brazil unchanged, and hopefully deepened – as it strikes the “B” in BRICS out of deeper cooperation with the Russia-China strategic partnership.
Sullivan for his part is just a cog in the Dem dementia wheel that previously conspired alongside the NSA to destroy Dilma Rousseff’s presidency, throw Lula in jail and place Bolsonaro in charge.
Lula is not the Dem’s horse for the 2022 Brazilian presidential election. But despite some woke-ish characters coming out of the closet, there’s no viable third way in the horizon acceptable for the Empire – at least not yet.
Still, the proverbial “offer you can’t refuse” had to be delivered to the people that matter: the men in uniform. Do what you gotta do, strike a deal with Lula, whatever. In the end, what we say, goes.
That poisoned carrot
The cover story for Sullivan’s trip was what amounts for all practical purposes to the Ukrainization of Central America/the Caribbean. Notorious vampire Victoria “F**k the EU” Nuland, number 3 in the State Dept., had already been dispatched to assorted chihuahuas in the region to lay down the law.
Sullivan followed the script, banging on notorious anti-imperial recalcitrants such as Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua and extolling the platitude du jour: “The need to preserve and protect democracy in the hemisphere.” He met face to face with two of the military brass who are part of the deciding circle, Gen Augusto Heleno, who heads the all-powerful Institutional Security Cabinet, and Defense Minister Braga Netto, both under fire for corruption.
Unlike Burns, who stuck to “security” CIA interests, stressing that Brazil escaping from the Empire’s sphere of influence simply won’t be tolerated, Sullivan actually offered a carrot: drop Huawei out of the 5G auction later this year, and you may be accepted as a NATO partner.
This carrot bears similarities with the Empire offering BRICS member India to become a – lesser – member of the Quad, alongside US, Japan and Australia, to “contain” China.
So it’s always about the imperial sphere of influence: smashing BRICS from the inside, turning members into “partners”.
NATO’s “partnerships” are euphemisms for “we own you, bitch”. All “partners” have to strictly follow the parameters of the NATO 2030 agenda, which has been designed to promote a planetary Robocop patrolling/containing vast swathes of the Global South.
Even if Brazil seems to be, in fact, already a lowly NATO “partner”, as its Navy was invited to be part of the recent Sea Breeze exercise in the Black Sea, which was a major pro-Kiev, “containment of Russia” operation, it is not granted the carrot will be taken.
Indeed, an upgrade would only mean a little extra terminological glamour, as in “major non-NATO ally” or “global partner”.
The real question is who among the Brazilian men in uniform will approve this lethal blow to sovereignty. Significant dissent does exist. The Brazilian Navy, for example, will be against it – as it would be reduced to the role of patrolling the South Atlantic on behalf of the Empire, and even becoming a hostage were the Empire to turbo-charge the militarization of the South Atlantic.
If this “partnership” ever happened, the Navy’s concept of the “Blue Amazon” would be buried deep in the ocean. Not to mention that NATO does not even recognize the concept of a South Atlantic. Brazil’s own sphere of influence actually extends from the Andes to the western coast of Africa via the South Atlantic.
The “price” to be paid to accept such a Mafioso “offer you can’t refuse” is to bluntly antagonize China. Talk about the Brazilian military falling on their own tropical sword.
Brazil and China commercial affairs are intense – and multifaceted. Since the mid-1990s, the presence of Chinese commercial interests has been significant in the Brazilian economy, ranging from mining companies to huge infrastructure projects such as the bridge over the Baia de Todos os Santos.
China is also the top buyer of the huge native soy production, which is managed by the quite politically active agrobusiness Brazilian community, which is not going to stay idle while its interests are being eroded.
Brazil also boasts the largest telecommunication market in Latin America. Rebuilding and updating the Brazilian telephony and internet network, jeopardized by 1990s privatizations and 2000s business mistakes, is an opportunity Huawei simply can’t ignore.
That also configures a huge win for Brazil, able to profit from some hardware the NSA can’t easily spy on.
So basically to close the doors to Huawei would push Beijing to fiercely retaliate in myriad ways. The most painful consequence would be the end of Brazilian soy imports; that will drive agrobusiness honchos absolutely nuts, with unforeseen consequences.
In the end, Sullivan’s “offer you can’t refuse” actually smacks of desperation. As the Empire of Chaos is being slowly but surely expelled from Eurasia by the Russia-China strategic partnership, the imperial ace in the hole amounts to renewing control over the Monroe doctrine satrapies.
All bets are off on whether the tropical men in uniform really understand the high stakes in play.

in purely military terms this is not tactical but strategic in nature. retreating armies are weakened, resource deprived, manpower reduced and materiel depleted. when you add in where the world manufacturing base is located both for high tech and basic industry, replenishment for this retreating army looks problematic in the medium to longer term. in the short run they can cause a lot of trouble down in brazil. it will depend how long a horizon those in charge in brazil have and whether or not backstops of the kind maduro secured can be gotten and at what cost.
“Notorious vampire Victoria “F**k the EU” Nuland, number 3 in the State Dept., had already been dispatched to assorted chihuahuas in the region to lay down the law.”
Nuland and her husband, Robert Kagan, were Zionists long before they were Democrats, or Republicans. Zionism in the USA is completely bipartisan, with the Dems beholden to AIPAC and the Repubs beholden to Likudniks and crazy US Christian Zionists.
Remember, Zionism is first and foremost an apocalyptic death cult. Yes, the AngloZIONIST Empire is all about domination and exploitation, but it’s also about what Israel calls the Samson Option, which is not just the last resort when their backs are up against the wall, but their ultimate goal.
What jumps out at me most about Zionists is their supremacism, the notion that they (Europeans) were “chosen” by God to range around the planet, displacing the indigenous, stealing their land and resources, and eventually ending human history in an apocalyptic final battle between “good” (them) and “evil” (everyone else). How presumptuous is that, Pepe? I’m sure the rest of humanity is sick and tired of this craziness and will be willing to join the new Belt and Road Initiative in a heartbeat.
There’s a chance of military coup. They are asking for support.
Nobody knows the result of this.
But, one thing is certain, they do not control the entire military.
They do control zero from air forces….
I don’t know. They can only keep power I. Brazil by military means but this option will expose them.
By “Them” understand, the ones in the Brazilian military that represents foreign interest.
This could be also a chance to Brazil and the left take over the military, once exposed.
Brazil needs a new Constitution! Can’t go any further this way.
Thanks for this article. It should not be fogotten that when the US stopped soya exports from Brazil to China a few years ago, Russia immediately stepped in and supplied 5 per cent of China’s demand. The amount of Russian soya exports to China has grown since then.
One can only hope that the Brazilian military will see that integration with China offers more fo the long-term future of Brazil than sticking with Bolsonaro and ditching Huawei. Vamos ver!
… whether the tropical men in uniform will understand”
The either eagerness or sweet tolerance they have shown toward their former captain and psychopat Bolsonaro tells volumes about what they understand.
Of course the satraps obedient flee towards under the US nasty wing will just postpone a
decision on a choice they will forcibly make in one or two decades.
Not that many years ago a bit of REAL US foreign policy was video-taped as it was delivered, in typical gangster-like, crystal-clear language — to one of the US’s most loyal vassal states – “Australia” . I have abosolutely no doubt that a near identical message has been hand-delivered to the few powerful people that constitute “Brazil”.
The video is just over 8 minutes in length and, although every second of it is all well worth watching, the actual ultimatum starts at 6 minutes and 18 seconds into the video. At that point, VIP John Mearsheimer spells out to US Vassal State 2 (or is it 3?) just exactly what it would mean if #2 improved relations with China instead of continuing to bow to US diktat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IER2SGbjCWo
“Now, the question is: what does this all mean for Australia? Ahh, you’re in a quandary for sure. Everybody knows…..everybody knows what the quandary is. Security-wise, you really want to go with us. It makes just a lot more sense ….. right, uh,… you understand that security is more important that prosperity? ……. because if you don’t survive, you’re not going to prosper. Survival is of the utmost importance ‘cuz you can’t pursue any other goals if you don’t survive. Right. So security’s gotta be number 1,….. so you’ll sacrifice prosperity for security. Right. That’s what will happen. That’s why you’ll be with us. Now, some people say that there’s an alternative. You can go with China. You have a choice here. You can go with China rather than the United States. There’s two things I’ll say about that. Number 1, if you go with China, you wanna understand that you are our enemy. You are then deciding to become an enemy of the United States………..cuz, again, we’re talking about an intense security competition. You’re either with us or against us. And if you’re trading extensively with China….. and you’re friendly with China,……..you’re undermining the United States in the security competition. You’re feeding the beast, from our perspective, …. and that is not going to make us happy and when we are not happy, you do not want to underestimate how nasty we can be. Just ask Fidel Castro.”
Keep in mind that this was an ultimatum delivered to one of the US’s most loyal, ass-licking vassal states! With a “friend” like this, who needs enemies? (More apt question: With an enemy like this, who needs a really powerful friend? Answer: all of the US’s vassal states.)
Again, I believe that it is an absolute certainty that somebody equivalent to Mearsheimer has delivered the exact same ultimatum to absolutely ALL of the US’s vassal states. It’s the classic gangster protection racket, but conducted at the inter-nation level rather than at a prosperous, but so far recalcitrant local business.
What do you supppose Mearsheimer meant by “security competition”, as opposed to, say, economic, military, or other type of competition?
John Mearsheimer’s words are an appropriate illustration that the US praxis is like a caricature …of the theory of societal evolution.
About theory :
The “axioms of its civilization” are the roots of the continuum of a society’s cultural field. This means that a society’s, and its peoples’, ‒ thinking ‒ behaving ‒ and acting in the present are “forced” upon them by the axioms of their civilization…
This is not fatalism. It is an exhortation to try to understand one’s self and one’s society in order to free oneself from the weight of the past.
About the contemporary praxis of the West, and more particularly, the US :
— The axiom of dualism in Western civilization =
1. my, our thinking, behaviors and actions represent the absolute good while “the other’s” represent the absolute evil
2. me, we, have to change “the otherness of the other” into our own image (religion, political ideologies).
— The contemporary behavior of the West (in John Mearsheimer’s own words) =
The present reality is that “we’re talking about an intense security competition”.
1. “You are with us or you are against us”
2. “if you’re trading extensively with China….. and you’re friendly with China,……..you’re undermining the United States in the security competition…….that is not going to make us happy and when we are not happy, you do not want to underestimate how nasty we can be. Just ask Fidel Castro……..”you understand that security is more important that prosperity? ……. because if you don’t survive, you’re not going to prosper. ”
What about China ?
— The axiom of complementary in Chinese civilization =
1. The differences, in “the other’s” ‒ thinking ‒ behaving ‒ and acting, are an opportunity for the Chinese to learn something new
2. The Chinese and their society want to live, and let “the other” live, by exchanging goods and ideas …
The West and China are two different worlds. Unfortunately the West feels forced to crush “the other”.
If you are interested by societal evolution and how it operates check “The Continuum of the Cultural Field”.
Mearsheimer is one of the few really intelligent ghouls in contemporary US FP, close to if not on par with Brzezinski. A NSC led by him would be far more effective than the current circus–for better and worse.
It is therefore supremely ironic that Mearsheimer co-authored a book in 2007 titled “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy”, exposing the former’s effect on the latter, which instantly made him persona-non-grata in Washington.
A Mearsheimerian Blob, circa the Obama admin, would have made a number of sane policy moves against a rising China: root out Zionist corruption in Washington and therefore downsize ME operations. NATO would also be downsized and Russia befriended, as much as possible. The end result would be Washington extending its “American century” by at least another decade or two.
Alas, ’tis hindsight.
El problema de Estados Unidos es que ya no sabe qué hacer con su poder allí donde lo toma. Ni en Ucrania, ni en Bolivia, ni en Brasil, ni en Argentina, ni en Centroamérica, ni en ningún lado. Electroencefalograma plano. Y eso no es culpa de China.

The problem for the United States is that it no longer knows what to do with its power where it takes it. Not in Ukraine, not in Bolivia, not in Brazil, not in Argentina, not in Central America, not anywhere. Flat EEG. And that’s not China’s fault.
Bien dicho.
Well said.
naaah , they just want to contain the rise of regional powers , that’s it.
Thank you Pepe, for remembering of our dear godforsaken American continent. Of course I also think Eurasia is more interesting but… our poor continent should not be hostage to the US.
On a more general tone, I do have a feeling people outside Brazil are not being made sufficiently aware of what is going on. There’s presently a congressional inquiry (in Portuguese: Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito), which I call a veritable bread and circus theater of absurd, where the comprador elite is trying to remain relevant and trying to find scapegoats for the present conundrum.
So far, the entire Brazilian bourgeoisie (media, big business, elite politicians, judges etc) has been effectively using the inquiry to subsume the country under US Big Pharma (and not only pharma). Really, life is full of coincidences: all vaccines that were negotiated to Brazil are “presenting problems” – corruption, embezzlement etc – except Pfizer. Which is statistically weird considering it was Pfizer that had abusive IMF-like racketeering clauses in their contracts.
Moreover, the comprador elite is still unsure whether it keeps or removes the flamboyant stooge president.
I hope this is a sufficient general outlook.
We need to remind ourselves that ALL empires die. One of the central reasons why they “die” is when they extend themselves outward in trying to maintain their hegemony.
It’s clearly evident that the Brazil issue is but ONE, amongst many other nations that are slowly weaning themselves from the US Monster.
You can not simply isolate Brazil and project what may or may not happen.
Not when the US is having to contend with Russia, China, the entire Eurasian continents, Afghanistan, the Ukraine, and many other regions of the world.
Follow the trends; not the details.
The more resistance to getting to the riches of Bolivia, the more the U.S. military will have an interest in controlling access from Brazil.
What do American twats in uniform think about this stuff? They must clearly know it’s wrong but it’s minimum wage so I’ll shoot innocents to send money back to my aunt who is also my mom?
Not sure I get your point but I dont think they clearly know anything, otherwise they wouldn’t be in the military.
How would the U.S. react if Intelligence officers from Russia, China, or Iran had direct meetings with officers in the U.S. military and/or police forces? I’m amazed that this goes on so publicly as if it is a perfectly normal thing to do. ‘Excuse me Mr. President, would you mind leaving your office for about 30 minutes, I need to talk to your Sec. of Defense in private’.
NATO, it’s getting more and more ridiculous to insist on keeping the ‘N’ as we add members from other continents. We should at lease have the decency to change it to ‘ATO’. It would be more accurate and reflect who is running the show.
Hi, Pepe. They, the Empire, after consultations with the local Judeo-Maçonic hidden leadership, will allow Lula to come back provided all the major ministerial posts of his government are pre-agreed upon. The future president Lula will be a caricature of the past because he will be kept under two major constraints: monetary & military.
não esqueça a capacidade de mobilização do Lula em relação as forças populares
não me parece tão óbvio a caricatura

Do not forget Lula’s mobilization capacity in relation to popular forces
It does not seem so obvious to caricature
$ Bloc vs Non-$ Bloc
One of the overarching themes from the geopolitical developments is that it is a conflict between the $ Bloc and Non-$ Bloc. The former includes US$, £, €, ¥, Western and its vassals currencies. The Non-$ Bloc comprises of nations that want to be sovereign and define their destiny such as China and Russia. These two blocs are involved in information, currency, trade, energy and proxy warfares. It is not a competition between democracy versus autocracy. Just look at the oath of allegiance in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Are they democracies or autocracies? Name a democracy that isn’t a suzerainty.
To understand any nation’s degree of subserviency to the Financial Empire ($ Bloc), just find out, what % of nation’s trade is in the US$? In the case of Brazil, what % of their international trade is in the US$? Brazil has signed currency swap agreements with China. What fractal emerges from Brazil’s central bank and its presidents? On November 3, 2020, the bill of the Independence of Central Bank passed the Senate. Brazil is a Neo-liberal state.
After WWII, Stalin/USSR didn’t join the Bretton Woods system. So started a Cold War. Now, China and Russia aren’t submitting to dollarization, so start a new Cold War. Are things adding up? What overarching theme emerges? Follow the money, power,…

Not to many Canadians know they are the physical chattel of the Queen of England.
I love the look of denial on their faces and the fact they think they live in a sovereign nation.
They’ll even argue they are not chattel, poor dears. I’ll toss the GG at them, “only a figure head formality”, they say. “Right, recite the Canadian Oath of Allegiance”, I’ll say. The can’t. Not taught in schools, not taught anywhere. The damn thing is all about the Queen, her family and future descendants. In Canada all political appointees, military and law enforcement officials swear the oath to the Queen, not Canada. ‘Move along, no one can see hear, or read’, ( pun intended).
Cheers M
Has anyone in the last 50+ years been required to demonstrate that allegiance in any tangible or meaningful way?
think real hard and check it out, you have the entire wisdom and history at ur fingertips on the interwebz.
You might be shocked by what you find but i will not be.
more likely the Brazilian soybean producers loosing market share on account of the WEF depopulation plan than Beijing retaliation. Perhaps the US election rigging and the pandemic end up destroying a century of propaganda and the Privy Council finally falls apart. People around the world no longer buying the proxy narrative, the vassals have forcefully been exposed. They never thought she would lose…

Pepe wrote this one for the Vineyard (special thanks to Amarynth to facilitate this.)
Escobar amazes as he gets to the meat and potatoes of every global, regional and nation-state situation.
Brazil is vital to the future of a healthy multipolar world.
Understanding the dynamics and pressures on the sectors of power inside Brazil is vital to our general knowledge of what may be coming to and from Brazil.
Thanks to Pepe for this article.
When I lived in Brazil in the early eighties, there was a book much read by the military of the dying dictatorship: “China – o Nordeste Que Deu Certo” (China – the Northeast that Succeeded).
There has been a certain consciousness, even envy, by the men in uniform of the advantages of the ‘Chinese model’.
The benefits are obvious for someone with a penchant for regimentation so I feel sure there’s an institutional memory of this aspiration.
those were good times when our military still were nationalists !!!
Current ones are sold by the pennies !!!
Anything from China should be looked at carefully and the risks.
But the same can and worse be said of anything out of the EU and UN.
Neither can be trusted.
Brazil should look to a middle power for its communications system.
Huawei has opened its source code for nations to inspect. All these stories about backdoors on Chinese software is propaganda.
Kaspersky did the same thing with its software. The US demonizes Chinese products and Russian products because they can’t handle competition.
It is US software and hardware that is riddled with NSA backdoors, as are most of the nodes on the Internet.
Both Russia and British ambassadors are under attack in Iran

The British and Russian ambassadors to Iran have angered the country by recreating a World War Two image of Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin, when Iran was under Allied occupation.

Both ambassadors must apologize now.

A counter-productive stance by Iran, imho. The resistance must now show unity not squabble over historical photos..
The only thing this spat has done is to highlight, unflatteringly, the Shah’s own sympathies with the Nazis during WWII.
Brazilians…they wanted Bolsonaro, they have Bolsonaro…
I really do not see problem here
you are not seeing the vital importance of this. Brazil was fundamental to China’s rise and success. Without Brazil and without Lula, China would not have grown. It is necessary to be open, open your eyes.
The problem is the rigged criminal charges of corruption against both Lula and his successor Roussef. In Lula’s case the judge became the minister for justice under Bolsonaro. Corruption got much worse under Bolsonaro. with even his son implicated. A luta continua, ainda. [The stuggle continues, still.]
Correction:
“Washington…they wanted Bolsonaro, they got Bolsonaro…”
Imagine if Trump were literally (not just mainstream media) incarcerated during the 2020 campaign over cooked up Russiagate nonsense. Would 70M GOP still come out to vote for a less charismatic, last-minute replacement? Nonsense. And yet this is practically what happened in Brazil under Washington’s direction. “Democracy” indeed.
You got politicians that you want in your country?
One of many problems coming from Bolsonaro that impact the World is the acceleration of burning down Amazon native forests to replace with soy plantations. Deforestation is wreaking havoc on the river’s volumes (Parana, for instance) which makes grain exports more difficult to export, hence even higher prices of food commodities.
All US ICE has to say is something as simple as “visa free travel to US from Brazil will end soon”. Pretty much everyone who has stashed her ill gotten gains in Miami and Florida will canvas the Brazilian govt to give up whatever the US asks. They will give up their first borns too…
People elsewhere generally can imagine how the majority of brazilians nowadays feel awkwardly
disturbingly ashamed of been suddenly morphed into the laughing stock of the world.
-vaccines fm pharma rejected
-vaccines welcome and boosted under bribery schemes
-700 plus agricultural poisons approved
-Four Health ministers in quick sequence
– 110 and counting requests for Impeachment on the table of the Congress leader in charge
-Amazon forests burning wildly just for cattle, miners and agribusiness exploitations
-Open attack rioting of right wingers against the supreme Court put aflame
-Teams of Environmental Law Enforcement intimidated and expulsed by armed thugs in the vast interior with presidential support
-Prices of gasoline for consumers hiked 20 times over (and 417 x above inflation) in two years
-Attacks on argentina , bolivia political choice elections.
-Hirings of over 10 thou sand federal jobs to military or military linked officers.
-Threats and attempt to cancel… next years elections unless… (a string of extreme right goals)
and a variety of endless buffoonery week after week.
But the elites have refrained so far from whipping the beast out since they expected to profit and extract more ”milk” from the cow they gave birth to, back in 2018
Don’t forget the very impressive paramilitary ranks that multiplied during Bolsonaro and are heavily armed thanks to the easening of arm trade laws. Under “peaceful” times they rule favelas and drug trading business. Would they accept to see his “Mito” breaking down idle?
I still remember the episode right from the beginning of Bolsonaro’s term. He went as far as offering a military base to the US. And what was the reaction? The next day the “Estado de Sao Paulo” quoted an unnamed high-ranking military who said: “Brasil doesn’t need foreign bases, it can deal with it’s problems on it’s own.”
In that moment I thought, the US has installed an ugly puppet regime, but they will not succeed to get what they want, because they underestimated the nationalist bloc in the military.
Slowly, but surely the trade relations with China will erode any hold the US has on Latin america. The real change already happened. When the speaker of the Chinese foreign ministry declared, “Latin America belongs to noone, and is nobody’s backyard”, they knew they had won. Everything that happens now is just drama.
nnaaaahhh , you are underestimating the traitors !
They’d sell the entire country , if they could !
worse are the high-ranking mil , at least 70% uv them.
Under correct management, Brazil will be, like Russia, a top 10 economy in 20 to 30 years maximum. If I was a Brazilian I would study the feasibility of a total and complete independence offensive and demand equal status viz a viz the USA. This is the only possible WIN-WIN outcome in the New World – as beneficial to Brazil as tp “El Norte.” The Generals should know by now the 21st century is not a time to play around with the fate of the BRAZILIAN people.
they don’t give a sh*t about our people.
We are a colony and we have local owners.
They have no nationalistic sentiment.
Brazil for them is just a source of revenues.
Clearly , a extractivist province.
They don’t even consider themselves as Brazilians.
Their homes are abroad, NY, Paris , London , Berlin , Florida , Madrid , etc
That’s classic colonialism , a land of nobody.
and the military are just the goons , serving the ruling class.
Wasn’t Rouseff brought down by the Petrobras scandal?
naaah , it was before that …
To depose her , they simply fabricated a shabby pretext , all within Con-gress…
guys , don’t rise undue hopes of sovereignty to thrive in my little brazil.
Military here are in NO WAY nationalists, they seek to maintain the status quo.
They are the body-guards of ruling economic domestic powers.
That’s how it worked for centuries , history n heritage.
They don’t give a shit about the people , though low rank military are gullible , mislead to believe it so.
Poodles of americans , since WW2.
Poodles for the ruthless ruling class , since ever.
they are selling the country for the pennies.
Folks !
Thank you so much for your support for Brazilian people !
It’s beautiful to see how much you love us , we appreciate that !
Many visitors tell us that in their hearts Brazil is their 2nd country .
unfortunately , our brutal , ruthless ruling class don’t want us to be sovereign.
It’s colonialism , intrinsically.
