I've noticed a lot of South American traffic coming to this blog so this one's for you.
So when the U.S. invades Cuba and casts about for help it will hit upon Brazil, among others.
Think about it. President Collar (Collar de Mello?) hits the ground running that spring, tries to pull a Thatcher and gets into trouble right off. So he does what Maggie would do. When the U.S. asked for help with Cuba, President Collar is willing to help.
Now, brace yourselves, yanqui readers, but Brazil has a serious military establishment. In 1990, 26 surface combatants, two amphibious warfare ships, four troop transports, and 14 C-130s + other transport air craft. I figure they'll be able to drop their airborne brigade and land two brigades of marines and a light tank brigade. They can base a few squadrons of F-5s out of Jamaica.
Not a bad punch, eh?
