Summary
<p><span>Suzi talks to political economist </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ppzbastos?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&eid=ARAItTacRMpcC4K0_-rZ04Bk58hZFOgHSDGPFS6safOpEdZz2ir3LbvrEPfph5OTWVLHv4MtEFVzpv7X&fref=mentions" rel="nofollow">Pedro Paulo Zahluth Bastos</a><span> about the Trump-Bolsonaro love fest in D.C. last week, and the new Brazilian-US relationship. Bolsonaro was "summoned" to Washington to support a US invasion of Venezuela under the pretext of "exporting democracy," and we ask Pedro Paulo how that will go over in Brazil </span><span>— </span>and note the irony that Bolsonaro is a staunch defender of military dictatorships and no lover of democracy. We also get Pedro Paulo's view of Brazilian politics and economics under their new tweeter in chief <span>— </span>who campaigned as a murderous, homophobic, anti-feminist, declaring open season on the Left <i>and </i>on the Amazon rainforest, but governs as an extreme neoliberal.</p>
