É com extrema preocupação que acompanhamos as notícias de que o Brasil, o Peru e a Colômbia incluirão tropas dos Estados Unidos num exercício militar conjunto na tríplice fronteira amazônica, em novembro deste ano. É sintomático que o convite para a participação estadunidense tenha partido do Brasil, segundo a mídia nacional, onde a população vive o pós-golpe de Estado sob a ameaça das políticas reacionárias e servis ao império promovidas por um governo ilegítimo.

Con gran preocupación, seguimos las noticias según las cuales Brasil, Perú y Colombia incluirán tropas estadounidenses en un ejercicio militar conjunto en la región fronteriza amazónica, en noviembre. Es sintomático que esta invitación a la participación de Estados Unidos fuera hecha por Brasil, según los medios de comunicación nacionales, donde la población vive en post-golpe de estado, bajo políticas reaccionarias subordinadas al imperio y promovidas por un gobierno ilegítimo.
