The split — every branch
Under Structural there are no percentages at all: these are counts of how well tested each branch is, which is a different claim from how likely it is. Untested is not the same as refuted.
The branches, one by one
The designation reflects a convergence between Washington’s longstanding interventionist instincts in Latin America and the interests of Brazil’s far right.
Supports
- supports The PCC and CV designation could add another layer of scrutiny if funds linked to either group are found to have moved through PIX. diagnostic circumstantial moderate ▤ The US is now using the ‘terrorist’ label to interfere in Brazil’s election
- supports Donald Trump wrote about this on the social media platform Truth Social. diagnostic circumstantial weak ▤ Trump said that Putin and Xi promised not to supply weapons to Iran
Challenges
Nothing argues against this branch yet.
The timing of the designation is difficult to separate from the Bolsonaro family’s efforts to enlist Washington in its political fight with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s government.
