A Soviet Earth (in an Alternate Universe) - Another Conjecture

Although many Brazilian citizens may disagree, I am convinced that, in the event the Brazilian military (with CIA support) had NOT interfered in 1964, Mr. Quadros or any eventual successor would invariably have followed the tragic “Cuban Path” and have fallen into the Neo-Trotskyite web of espionage, disinformation, and deceptions set up by the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (with the complete, unwavering support of the Brazilian Communist Party).
Furthermore, although Brazil was scarcely anything more significant than a large pawn within the context of the Global Geo-Political arena where the Cold War was unfolding, during the early and middle portions of the Twentieth Century, if the USSR had successfully secured Brazil’s admission into the Eastern Bloc during the 1960’s, World History would have unfolded rather differently… Following the installation of the Brazilian Communist Party in Brasilia, where an enormous Soviet Friendship Center (comprising a Cultural Mission, a KGB Office and a huge Soviet Embassy), all of South America would have turned red within Geo-political strategy maps across the planet; thereby enhancing the power, wealth and influence which Moscow would certainly utilize to further expand its totalitarian grip into all of Africa and most of Asia.

Quite possibly, in another parallel universe where such events DID take place, the United States, Canada and decreasing number of Western-European allies would inevitably become increasingly isolated, poorer, and (possibly also) unable to secure access to middle eastern oil fields. As a result, such unfortunate alternate set of developments, would make it nearly impossible for the decaying NATO members to either to provide the grounds for any “Technological Revolution” (during the 1980-90’s) or to continue matching increased Soviet expenditures in areas ranging from Weapon’s Research & Development, Space Exploration, Espionage, and even Industrial Productivity.

In case the vastness of the MULTIVERSE happens to contain an Alternate Universe where such an unfortunate version of Planet Earth exists, the (former) COMECON Nations (Council for Mutual Economic Assistance) would not only exist in 2008, but its map would also comprise the vast majority of the planet's land mass; representing a world where its oppressed, monitored and ideologically correct inhabitants would “happily” co-exist in a conflict-free Soviet Domain; under such conditions, in the event a skirmish or civil commotion were to emerge anywhere, there would not have been any Network (legally) broadcasting its occurrence in "Latest News Updates", and any “disgruntled” individuals caught “spreading slanders” Against the "United Socialist Front" (or COMECON) would surely be targeted for a speedy enrollment into any of the several "Freedom Psychiatric Centers", conveniently located every where across the globe to serve mankind...

ACTUAL HISTORICAL REFERENCE:
The Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (1949–1991). It represented an economic pact composed of Communist States - the military equivalent of the Warsaw Pact
