That does seem what the US wants though, and it's poised to take advantage of the situation, and I can't really blame them from a strategical perspective. It's been among the few countries in the South American region to openly defy it's hegemony and with Brazil falling under the sway of a right-wing government it seems like they can finally accomplish what they were so desperate to do during the cold war.
