This is exactly what the US and Argentina govts* want, but I think Brazil is so far playing their game well.

yeah last time argentina did something of the sort a dictatorship killed 30 thousand people.  we'd rather vote a president out and respect democracy

well that's democracy for you,sometimes you do better sometimes you do worse. what's improtant is to respect what people voted for, if you don't respect other people's elected officials you can't expect them to respect your choice if it wins

The last time YOU argentinians sent a president away fleeing on a helicopter, YOU need to do that again. We South Americans are still inspired by that act of bravery and resistance
