    He's probably too scared to leave the country.

    And I think he needs permission of Congress to do that. Will be much harder to leave in the future.

    Mercosur has to show a lot of affection and love for Venezuela. It is a sister country that needs our help in this time of transition. We have to support them in everything so that everything happens peaceful and democratic way.

    It is necessary to send our best diplomats to make them aware of the importance that Venezuela poses to us.

    @4 It only recently joined Mercosur under very suspect circumstances.

    However, if Brazil can help feed the poor and hungry in Venezuela they should certainly step up to the plate, as it were.

    I think we should differentiate between the Venezuelan people and the nut jobs ruling them.

    @ 5, 6
    When we isolate a government, even if it is bad, those who suffer most are the people. In addition to closing the doors to dialogue.

    What was the evil that the Venezuelan government made to any other country?

    @7. What is your problem with recognising Maduro as a corrupt, criminal, dictatorial psychotic? How many problems would be solved if someone shoved the barrel of a machine pistol in one of his ears, pulled the trigger on full automatic and wiggled it around until a bullet came out of the other ear. How about the barrel of a machine pistol shoved in his mouth before depressing the trigger. “Ding, ding, you have reached the end of your journey. To your right you can see the cliff from where your corpse can be thrown into the ocean”. Fish food!

    @1, @2 and @3, I agree but I definitely I believe he does not want to leave Venezuela since things might change in his absence making sure he loses all power.
    @4, We have been sending diplomats but they are getting tired of getting arrested, jailed and then expulsed out of the country with retarded remarks from the Venezuelan government.
    @5 I understand your ironic comment, but I have to say that Brazil cannot feed their own people; therefore, there is no chance they can do the same with others.
    @6 Well as you said we have THE PEOPLE and the NUT government of Maduro.
    @7 The government of Venezuela, has broken many HHRR to the Colombian people thrown out from their houses and expulsed from the country, bullied and is bulling Guyana and Colombia and the buying of conventional armament if way off scale for a country such as Venezuela and their region.

    Brasshole,
    Why do you try to sound like a humanitarian, concerned with the fate of the populations of 'sister countries' - screwed by their dictators - if you are no more than just a lousy 'petista' ? You talk of democracy yet you pervert it.
    It sounds like you think Brazil has no problems of its own....I suppose not, other than the Government can't pay its bills, the huge deficits, the increases in taxes, the enormous corruption schemes eating away at investor confidence....but it's all hunky-dory, isn't it ? Like Lula the toad, you “know nothing” “and you suggest we should show VZ ”affection and love” ? Perhaps we could send them a billion dollars, similarly to what the toad did when he - without consulting Congress - decided to forgive the foreign debt of shitty little countries ruled by his dictator friends ??

    Mercosul needs to show Maduro that it has had enough of this Bolivarian shit.

    4@ Socialist Mammalia Donkey,

    For a typical unschooled to the bone and most certainly a legit low-life homeless scumbag just like yourself, who certainly its listed on a monthly yellow whores' federal grant program, at this point in time you should take in serious consideration to install it a set of two wheels on your stink septic toilet bowl in order to save your stupid daily bus fare.

    ,Mercosur is considering setting up a human rights office that will monitor and 'measure' the abidance of human rights,

    will this include the rights of the Falklands and Guyana and Colombia
    who are having their rights abused from Mercosur member states.

    @14 Could you be more specific? I did not understand anything you said. It was a compliment, satire, offense?

    @15 I think the issue of human rights as touted in the Mercosur meeting should not apply to islands, given that South America does not recognize its existence.

    16@ Socialist Mammalia Donkey,

    For a common south America's illiterate to the bone donkey like yourself, who certainly lives in a unique shit-hole on earth's surface, currently led by a socialist sapiens whore, who also doesn't even know how to properly speak your own native jungle's language, I would be amazed in knowing that you actually have the skills to fully understand and comprehend a foreign language such as mine, besides your common homemade bullshit well known as Google's copy n' paste translator tool.

    In resume, you're just another illiterate porcupine in search for its original stink hole .................................. :-)

    You must be a North American. There is much hatred in his words this should not make you good.

    If you think you're hurting me you are mistaken.

    I see the United States as an enemy nation of Brazil. So see you so angry, makes me very happy.

    18@ Socialist Illiterate Donkey,

    For a typical Brazilian cock-sucker and legit unschooled motherfucker just like you, certainly it doesn't take more than a single minute to actually figure it out, that in fact, you're just another piece of decayed shit left voluntarily outdoor to be picked-up on the very next early day by a local trash compactor within your fucking shit-hole's territory.

    You've said it before. What's it? Your creativity is summarized in these meager, frantic thoughts?

    The educational level of US schools have fallen a lot. Do you think this happened before or now in the Obama administration?

    20@ Socialist Illiterate Donkey,

    What difference does is make for a socialist illiterate douche-bag just like yourself, who lives within South America's vortex decayed hole, and most certainly doesn't even know the main difference between than to then, while your own state-of-art in multi-language are surely resumed on a simple copy n'paste skills.

    In fact, you must have the brimful rights to acquire your Idiot's Grammy Awards within your bribed-off federal government as soon as possible, which are currently led by a mid 60's terrorist and V.P.R's urban guerrilla and socialist certified whore, who must be really happy to have a huge collection of low-life motherfuckers just like you.

    Ok let's try some logical and reasoning here. Semper.........how do you support your socialist claim on us here? You obviously have an very unhealthy hatred of socialism. Few here hate socialists as much as you appear to, why is that? SO again, how can you that we are socialists?
