ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Journalist, sociologist, and geographer Brian Mier, Brazil Correspondent for TeleSur English and co-host of Globalistas on TV 247, joins Ileana Chan for episode 36 of the Global Majority for Peace podcast.
In this episode, Brian unpacks how Brazil’s resistance to US imperialism is reshaping Latin America’s geopolitical landscape, as BRICS, CELAC, and China strengthen their alliances against Western dominance. While Washington’s disinformation campaigns, trade wars, and coup attempts aim to destabilize Brazil, Lula’s government is pushing back—rejecting neoliberal control and forging a new path toward sovereignty.
From media manipulation to economic sabotage, Brazil is proving to be a key player in the fight against empire. As the Global South moves toward multipolarity, Brazil is confronting US-backed corporate interference, Silicon Valley’s role in enabling fascism, and trade wars designed to undermine its economic independence.
Brian breaks down the significance of Dilma Rousseff’s leadership at the New Development Bank, China-Brazil trade agreements, and the growing role of Latin America in shaping a post-imperial world. He explains why Brazil’s defiance isn’t just political—it’s an existential threat to Washington’s control over the region.
