Lula e Roosevelt
Lula is unlucky when he makes historical parallels. The other day he went to Panama and said the following:
“President Franklin Roosevelt implemented a good neighbor policy that aimed to replace military intervention with diplomacy in his foreign policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean.”
Roosevelt preferred diplomatic management. But when they weren’t enough, he knew how to use force.
In the case of Brazil’s entry into World War II, he pushed diplomacy to its limits and that was enough, but in 1941 the United States was prepared to occupy the Northeastern Salient. After all, the shortest and safest way for American planes to cross the Atlantic required a runway that connected Rio Grande do Norte to Africa.
In March 1945, with the war already decided, Roosevelt “hoped that General Vargas would be re-elected president, but he was not going to try to lend a hand, for fear of doing more harm than good.”
At the time, admirers of Vargas (who was never a general) created the myth according to which the dictator was overthrown by the American ambassador. Economist Adolfo Berle.
Service: Roosevelt’s comment is in the excellent book by American professor Stanley Hilton, “The Dictator and the Ambassador”.
