Brasil shares 10,400 miles of borders with 3 major drug producing nations...Colombia, Peru and Bolivia...as well as a major smuggling center...Paraguay.
So...President Rousseff has ordered in more than 10,000 troops and even drones to help stop narcos from importing cocaine and other drugs...especially at Amazon hot spots.
