Bolsonaro's son advocates war and assassination of Maduro.
Submissive to Donald Trump, who intends to seize Venezuelan oil, Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of President Jair Bolsonaro, defended a military solution to the Venezuelan crisis and the assassination of President Nicolás Maduro; on Twitter, he stated that "to think that the problem in Venezuela is only the Venezuelans' problem is to not see an inch ahead"; in the same post, he added a video from 2017 where, in a conversation with opposition figure Roderick Navarro, he says that "Maduro will only leave by force, by bullets. I don't believe he will leave peacefully"; this idea, however, finds no support even among the military in the Bolsonaro government.
247 - Amid Brazil's attempts to maintain the "humanitarian character" of the aid sent to Venezuela, Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of President Jair Bolsonaro, went in the opposite direction and adopted a more belligerent tone against the government of Nicolás Maduro. "...To think that the problem in Venezuela is only the Venezuelans' problem is to not see an inch ahead," Eduardo posted on Twitter in the early hours of Saturday (23). In the same post, he included a video from 2017 where, in a conversation with opposition figure Roderick Navarro, he says that "Maduro will only leave by force, by bullets. I don't believe he will leave peacefully."
Just hours before Eduardo Bolsonaro demonstrated his alignment with the foreign policy of the United States, which has an interest in Maduro's removal from power because Venezuela possesses the world's largest oil reserves, President Jair Bolsonaro held an emergency ministerial meeting on the matter. There, he was warned that the country could be being used as bait to foment conflict and provide grounds for a US military intervention. (Read more at [link]) Brazil 247)
In another meeting, this one with the vice-president, General Hamilton Mourão, who will travel to Bogotá, Colombia, next Monday (25), as Brazil's representative in the Lima Group, Bolsonaro determined that Brazil will not defend a military intervention in the neighboring country. Among the participants in the meeting will be the Vice-President of the United States, Mike Pence, whose government has been accused by Maduro, as well as China and Russia, of fomenting the Venezuelan crisis to justify military action.

The Cuban system is a parasite that sucks the lifeblood from other countries. We cannot allow Venezuela to become a new Cuba, bringing problems to the region such as famine and the unchecked activity of terrorist/narco groups. To think that Venezuela's problems are only Venezuelans' problems is to be blind to the bigger picture. pic.twitter.com/kYGhxQTWtA
