@StevenBeschloss And of course, with the failure of our DOJ to do a thing to curtail the US terrorists who are sparking this internationally, as well as here in the US, look who shows up front and center in the Bolsonaro insurrection:

Authorities probe who was behind uprising in Brazil capital

Brazilian authorities say they are looking into who may have been behind the shocking uprising that sent protesters storming into the nation’s halls of power in a riot that had striking similarities to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. In an unprecedented display for Latin America’s largest nation, thousands of supporters of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro swarmed into Congress, the Supreme Court and the presidential palace on Sunday. Many of them said they wanted the Brazilian army to restore the far-right Bolsonaro to power and oust the newly inaugurated leftist president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
