Press TV has conducted an interview with Gearóid Ó Colmáin, a political analyst in Paris, and Javier Farje, a Latin America expert in London, to discuss the impeachment of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.
Colmáin says the impeachment of President Rousseff is part of the orchestrated US regime change policy in Brazil.
“This attack on Workers’ Party and on President Rousseff started a long time ago. This is the culmination of the process that started at least in 2009 when the United States started encouraging and funding regime change organizations in the country,” he states.
He goes on to say that Washington seeks a return to the working conditions of the US-imposed dictatorship in the country, which has not been the case under the government of Rousseff.
The analyst also mentions the United States sees Latin America as a resource colony, adding that it will not tolerate any government that has any kind of an “independent vision” of its country’s future.
“National sovereign governments are a big problem for empires like the United States because no matter how much you control them you can never control them fully and you can never benefit fully from all of their resources,” he says.
Colmáin further argues that Washington’s current foreign policy is “instability and war” that only serves the oligarchs who finance the US government.
“So if you could destabilize Brazil, mess up everything, get some kind of a low intensity civil war going, then everything is free, you can just go in and take over the country,” he adds.
Farje, for his part, believes that if the United States is trying to bring down Dilma Rousseff, it is taking a “massive risk” because whoever comes next cannot guarantee the stability of the country.
