Think twice before going to Brazil, yes. Think three times before buying a domestic ticket, yes again. But … “equally incompetent” shows a bit of the prejudgement trap we’re all guilty of sometimes.
No argument re the departing defense minister’s lack of effectiveness. The new man, Nelson Jobim, does though have a reasonable track record for getting things done in the previous government. I’m rather surprised but am keeping an open mind. He’s reportedly been given carte blanche so perhaps there’s the faintest chance the structure will change. Right now it’s far too early to to say anything other than that the bottom of the pit has almost surely been reached and that from here forward anything should be an improvement. And that a few more political heads will roll, perhaps not immediately but in the next few weeks, to be replaced with more experienced/technical ones. Again, let's wait and see: we have little other options.
Back to the thread, it would seem that the talking heads on Globo and other tv channels are all focussed on Pprune and, in particular, the scenario 4PH introduced in post #424.
