Attempted coup in Brazil

Strikingly similar scenes to the Trump orchestrated attempted terrorist coup in the USA a couple of years ago. Similar far right types involved as well. They’re not great losers.

I'm surprised Lula didn't see this coming and take appropriate measures. It appears the governor of the capital region is a Bolsinaro-ista and took virtually no action to prevent or react to this atrocity. He needs to be sacked for a kick off.
But Lula should have had loyal troops ready to react, with orders to shoot if neccessary (OK, maybe at legs to start with). Those bastardos only understand one language, they should have been spoken to in it.

I'm sure the usual suspects/useful idiots are busy painting this as justified, rather than the shameful attack on democracy it was.

It was all nuts.
