Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
The article discusses how Brazilian criminal factions PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital) and Comando Vermelho pose a greater threat to Brazilian sovereignty than the United States, according to researcher Christian Vianna. A former Federal Police agent for 25 years and UN researcher, Vianna argues that as these factions take over territories where the state is absent, they usurp national sovereignty. The piece contrasts this with political accusations that the US reclassification of these groups as terrorist organizations threatens Brazilian sovereignty, suggesting the real threat is domestic and already established.
