Ha, ha, ha.
This guy has done it once but can he do it under DumbAss Dilma who is only happy being in charge of everything.
She is called “The Manager” but is nothing of the sort. Managers set the scene for where the business is going, resource the staff as needed, arrange training in facilitation and when everything is set in motion they monitor progress to ensure continuing peak performance. All she seems to do is bawl and threaten.
Levy is “ going to........” of course he is, how can he not say anything else. Dumbass and Cretina are from the same mould.

He has nothing to prove, and coming from the 2nd post at Bradesco, it is unlikely he'll allow fat D to trample over him ...he'll tell her to go to hell, and quit before that.

Who is Brazil likely to be at war with? Or feels the need to defend itself from?
Or is this a further power-play to be percieved as #1 in the region?
Briton, labor and honor to the English. Great Britain is our allies.

Nov 28th, 2014 - 11:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nice try Brasileiro, but your Armed Forces are just a bunch of boys and untested amateurs in comparison to the noble, battle-hardened men and women of the British Army, The Royal Navy and the Royal Airforce.
We pay lip-service to these so-called Brazillian 'allies', just to annoy Argentina. Has Brazil ever fought in any major war theatre?
hmmm....
The experiences of a large theater of war die in two generations. There remain only the academies, books and pride!

It helps defend the ship from local offensive weapons and is a good move by Brazil.
Yes.

Nov 30th, 2014 - 08:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0thought you hated Great Britain....or does your mood change when you aren't menstruated ?
Reyr #8, you got this partially right...the FEB in the WWII - Monte Castello, Italy - did what they were sent to do....for that they deserve my respect.
