US military action in Brazil is an exercise in imagination, says expert
The possibility of military intervention by the United States in Brazil, due to the designation of the PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital) and Comando Vermelho as terrorist organizations, was ruled out by Thiago de Aragão, CEO of Arko Advice Internacional.
In a WW interview, he classified this hypothesis as an "exercise in very elaborate imaginative futurology", with no plausible basis in the current situation.
For Aragão, there is no logic in making such a "strong and exaggerated leap" starting from the classification of these criminal factions as terrorist entities to imagine an invasion of Brazilian territory.
"In the field of possibility, you can always argue that it exists, but that doesn't make sense and it's not plausible in the current situation," he said.
Other issues between Brazil and the USA are more relevant
The expert highlighted that the Brazilian government should not even consider this possibility, since there are countless other issues in the relationship between the two countries that are "infinitely more important" and that are already reality - not mere imaginative exercises.
According to him, the debate over an alleged invasion diverts attention from concrete and urgent issues on the bilateral agenda.
Aragão also considered that, even when the United States acts in a less rational way, this irrationality is "checked by reality".
He drew a parallel with the case of Iran: just as an Iranian invasion would be something that is talked about but not carried out due to the complexity involved, the same reasoning applies to Brazil. "Brazil is not even important enough to consider something like this from the American government's side", concluded the expert.
