    This move probably would have made more sense a couple years ago when both Brazil and India were going full fash (idk much about Egypt), but I think with Bolsonaro and Modi's movements both seeming to taper off this won't work out the way they want it to. Like if Lula wins and gets to appoint Brazil's SC rep, they will almost certainly end up voting against America most of the time.

    Then again maybe I'm being overly optimistic and the state department figures those movements are a lot more durable than I do.
