'NO es joda', una frase común en la Argentina, se aplica al emergente protagonismo del BRICS, específicamente de Lula acercado a Xi Yi Ping tanto en materia de la guerra en Ucrania y la desdolarización mundial. Es decir, el BRICS existe y se mueve poco a poco. Irrita visiblemente al repudiado neoconservadorismo ultra guerrerista unipolar hegemonista de Victoria Nuland y la industria de armamento EEUU con su 'Proyecto para un nuevo Siglo Americano' que somete a Washington. Este unipolarismo es rechazado hasta por altos ex militares y estrategas académicos EEUU cada dia más en YouTube y las redes, algo que se oculta por la prensa occidental.

Xi Yi Ping viajó a Rusia como primer acto de su reelección, compuso a los arcienemigos Irán y Arabia Saudita, y hasta el monigote de la Nuland y EEUU/OTAN Zelensky lo llama, perdido, en la guerra contra Rusia y China por mano ajena. El BRICS asoma como una esperanza de paz y multipolarismo realista en lo financoero comercial y lo militar. Me gustaría verle la cara al empleadillo de Trump y el ultra neoconservador John Bolton, al expresidente hasta hace poco del BID Mauricio Claver Carone elegido para asfixiar a Venezuela y a toda amenza progresista latinoamericana desde el Cosejo de Seguridad EEUU.

Se lee en Página12 ( https://www.pagina12.com.ar/545268-tras-el-fmi-y-el-swap-chino-el-puente-brasil ) que "El ministro de Economía, Sergio Massa, viajará mañana a Brasil acompañando al presidente Alberto Fernández en un encuentro geopolítico en el que el titular de Palacio de Hacienda tendrá un objetivo central: concretar el acuerdo para que los brasileros financien sus exportaciones al país y Argentina use menos dólares, en medio de una sequía que le sacude la balanza de pagos. En concreto, y según supo este diario, Brasil financiaría una exportación que se pagará directamente en pesos a las empresas brasileras, que luego convertirán esos pesos en reales para cubrir la deuda financiada. (..)

"El tema -que se trató en reuniones previas en el marco del encuentro de Celac y durante el mitin de Massa y su par de Brasil, Fernando Haddad, en el G20 en la India- admite además una lectura geopolítica sobre los movimientos de Massa en plena crisis de dólares: tras el juego para liberar fondos anticipados del Fondo Monterio (FMI) vía Estados Unidos, realizó un swap de yuanes con China y ahora abre la mesa con Brasil, dos de los países que venían hace unos meses trabajando en bloque."

Poco a poco, incluyendo alguna opción geopolítica en los propios EEUU de cooperación multilateral mundial, las cosas pueden ser distintas. Lo proponen los ex militares y académicos estratégicos en seguridad realistas no socialistas referidos y, destacadamente, Jeffrey Sachs y la U Columbia, entre muchos, todos contrarios al Harvard Kennedy School -unipolarista golpista, instalador de peleles guaidós y leopoldos lópez no incómodos al imperio- de Gullermo Hausmann, Steve Levitsky y junto a ellos el entrenador de agitadores guarimberos pinochetistas Srdjan Poipovic, ´profesor' (!!) de eso allí mismo. Increible, pero cierto.

Brazil seeks international support for IDB presidency, says Guedes

Brazilian Economy Minister Paulo Guedes said the government is seeking international support for the country's nominee to head the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), expected to be presented in the coming days, but whose name he did not reveal.

The election for Latin America's largest development bank presidency will take place on Nov. 20 after the ouster of Mauricio Claver-Carone of the United States following an ethics scandal. President Joe Biden's administration has already said it will not nominate a candidate again.

In a press conference on Friday afternoon in Washington, after attending the International Monetary Fund meetings, Guedes said he had revealed the Brazilian nominee to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in an informal conversation and that it pleased her.

This article is a fucking bombshell. It reveals, with no ambiguity, that Juan Guaido’s coup attempt was “preconceived, tightly coordinated and carried out swiftly and efficiently” by the Trump Administration. From the Wall Street Journal, no less.

The night before Juan Guaidó declared himself interim president of Venezuela, the opposition leader received a phone call from Vice President Mike Pence. Mr. Pence pledged that the U.S. would back Mr. Guaidó if he seized the reins of government from Nicolás Maduro by invoking a clause in the South American country’s constitution, a senior administration official said.

That late-night call set in motion a plan that had been developed in secret over the preceding several weeks, accompanied by talks between U.S. officials, allies, lawmakers and key Venezuelan opposition figures, including Mr. Guaidó himself. It culminated in the 35-year-old Mr. Guaidó’s declaration Wednesday that Mr. Maduro’s government was illegitimate and that Mr. Guaidó, president of the country’s National Assembly, was assuming power in accordance with the country’s constitution.

Almost instantly, just as Mr. Pence had promised, President Trump issued a statement recognizing Mr. Guaidó as the country’s rightful leader. Soon after came similar pronouncements from Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru and others. But Mr. Maduro, who refused to step aside, nearly as quickly drew statements of supportfrom Turkey, Russia, Mexico and Bolivia, setting into motion a tense international faceoff over the future of Venezuela.

The gripping sequence of events presented a rarely seen side of Mr. Trump’s foreign policy, one that was preconceived, tightly coordinated and carried out swiftly and efficiently. But the White House and other branches of the government struggled to see eye-to-eye. The plan stirred concern among some officials who feared it could stoke instability and endanger U.S. diplomats in Caracas. On Thursday, the State Department ordered the removal of nonessential personnel from the U.S. embassy in Caracas.

While the developments this week surprised many onlookers, Mr. Trump had long viewed Venezuela as one of his top-three foreign policy priorities, including Iran and North Korea. “He cared about it tremendously,” said Fernando Cutz, who had served as senior director for Western Hemisphere affairs on Mr. Trump’s National Security Council and handled Venezuela matters.

Mr. Trump requested a briefing on Venezuela in his second day in office, often speaking to his team about the suffering of Venezuelan people and the country’s immense potential to become a rich nation through its oil reserves, said Mr. Cutz, now with the Cohen Group, a Washington consulting firm. Following Mr. Maduro’s disputed claim last year to have been re-elected, administration plans began taking shape, top officials and aides said, driven in part by key members of his administration in the National Security Council and anti-Maduro advocates in Congress.

“In late December/early January, they [administration officials] started talking to the opposition,” said the senior administration official. “The opposition at this point believed, and told U.S. officials, that they needed the international community’s backing to affect the political dynamic inside Venezuela.” Inside Mr. Trump’s administration, key figures who shaped the strategy were longtime proponents of a tough approach and worked to coordinate with U.S. allies, as well as gain bipartisan support at home.

One was Mauricio Claver-Carone, a lawyer and son of a Cuban exile who had been a vocal critic of the Obama administration’s policies in Latin America and took on the job as key coordinator for Latin American policies in August last year. Mr. Claver-Carone joined a team of hard-liners working with close support from U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.). 

Others included White House national security adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State [and former director of the CIA] Mike Pompeo, who favored recognizing Mr. Guaidó. In November, Mr. Bolton signaled the U.S. was zeroing in on its focus in Latin America, calling Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela a “troika of tyranny.”  Mr. Bolton delivered a speech saying so as the administration unveiled new sanctions targeting Venezuela’s gold sector and entities owned or controlled by the Cuban military and intelligence services.

The issue took on a bipartisan appeal. On Dec. 12, Mr. Rubio and Sen. Bob Menendez (D., N.J.) urged Mr. Trump to denounce Mr. Maduro as illegitimate and to recognize the National Assembly as the country’s only remaining democratic institution.

Over the New Year, Mr. Pompeo met with key U.S. allies and discussed Venezuela. He met Jan. 2 with his Brazilian [Jair Bolsonaro] and Colombian counterparts, and he hinted at a plan of action when he met with Colombian President Iván Duque. The two spoke about “how we may collaborate with regional and international partners to help those who are fleeing Venezuela and return Venezuela to its democratic heritage,” Mr. Pompeo said at the time.

The next week, on Jan. 10, Mr. Maduro was sworn in for his second term. That day, Mr. Pompeo spoke with opposition leader Mr. Guaidó, pledging to work closely on a path to a democratic future for Venezuela. A State Department statement called Mr. Guaidó’s National Assembly “the only legitimate and last democratically elected institution in Venezuela.”

Administration officials are talking to businesses in Venezuela and top administration officials have been calling financial institutions. The State Department served notice to the Federal Reserve Thursday that Mr. Guaidó is the agent for access to Venezuelan assets in U.S. banks, the senior administration official said.

“We’re focused on making sure that having supported the constitutional effort of the National Assembly that now we’ll provide the backup for them to succeed,” the official said.
