Brazilians Ask Bolsonaro Not to Comment on US Attack in Iraq
Published 3 January 2020
Internet users have shown their 'fear' about the reaction of the South American president, known for his incendiary comments and for being an admirer of Donald Trump.
The U.S. attack in Baghdad, which has ended the life of Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani and other Iraqi military figures, represent a new escalade of tensions between Washington and Persian Gulf nations and have caused a whole series of speculations on social networks about the consequences it will have.
While the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Hoseiní Khameneí, promised revenge, the U.S. president, Donald Trump, published a tweet with the American flag and wrote several messages to vindicate the actions in Baghdad.
However, on the other side of the world, Internet users in Brazil 'fear' the reaction of President Jair Bolsonaro, known for his incendiary comments and also for being a big fan of his American counterpart, Donald Trump.
