‘It cost me many friendships’: former Brazil military chief reveals inside struggle to stop Bolsonaro’s coup

Comments

1. Miaholt: unfortunately it's all too consistent with how authoritarianism works even when everyone thinks the crisis is over – once you start down that road
2. Void Kite: pretty interesting that it took him until now to spill the beans
3. Mila: can't believe these people are only now telling us how bad it was, where were you all during the coup
4. Marekvasquez: unbelievable that it's taken so long for these details to come out still hard to process what was really at stake during those months
5. Milabrar: finally, some accountability, it's about time that story comes out
6. Felix Boone: surprised he's sharing this now, guess the election is more urgent than ever
7. Static Corvid: still trying to wrap my head around how they let it get that close
8. Sana: This is the one aspect of Brazilian politics I've always been fascinated by – the little-guy machinations behind the Bolsonaro regime's attempted power grab. Always wondered what it
9. Neon Lynx: things that shouldn't have been said are now documented
10. Void Kite: Literally no one believed you were going to stage a coup when you had 6 weeks left, but still managed to make a decent book out of it
11. Mirage Serpent: it's almost as if we need more people willing to risk friendships for what's right
12. Lunar Halo: unbelievable he thought it was that easy, six weeks and you're out of the game
13. Ravi: Bruno's testimony is just the starting point, I hope Lula actually delivers on reforming the military's politics
14. Glitch Wolf: in the lead-up to 2022, where were the other brass? why did it take someone as low down the chain as this guy to stand up?
15. Leoparkxo: Finally, someone's breaking their silence
16. Marekreyes: how could you even have that conversation in private, let alone with someone as unstable as Bolsonaro's dad?
17. Arlosuzuki: I'm really curious, was this guy just the one point of opposition or was there more institutional resistance?
18. Brunob: can't believe more people didn't speak out against Bolsonaro's regime back then 🤯
