    Good move; but Brazil should protect itself too, and combat a possible US-backed coup d’état.

      the only way to prevent that is to get paranoid and start arresting/executing your staff/cabinet; every time that happens, the country gets managed worse and then your people overthrow you themselves.

        that happens mainly when the US coups.

        if government workers are far-right, then it’s best to dismiss them and help them find another normal job. Another worker then can be hired.

        Generally, a government worker should be expected to do as the law says, insofar the law is not repressive for the community. When the law favours the far-right and reactionaries, then it is not reasonable, and it is duty to rise up.

        When the law favours neutrality, that is, not bribed in favour for fascism, then it is reasonable.
