    “Does Brazil actually have any enemies?”

    May be they are thinking of some pirates squatters in south Atlantic you know...

    You have to be prepared on these days monkeys some times get desperate in hunger’s time and start to bomb everywhere.

    So that's a no then.

    Why use one word when you can string 35 together in such a haphazard meaningless manner.

    All I managed to decipher from your inane scribble is that your pet Chimp escaped when you weren't ready, got fierce hungry and defecated all over your living room.

    Are you Think in disguise?

    No but things change and items like these are the kind of things you need to have before you have enemies.

    who cares if a nation has enemies or not. One thing a nation must have is defence. You can expect the unexpected at unexpected moments.

    Don't worry Brazil, take your time, Obozo and his buddies will lower the price for you and of course give you what you need, because for them, doing business with Brazil, in Brazil, matters. They are willing to sellout their own nation for more business (money).

    8 Just wondered why Brazil needed to spend money on extremely expensive Western Fighter Jets when they are so universally admired by the rest of the World and don't appear to have any enemies. Simply trying to save them a bob or two.
    Now if you said I was getting nervous that Brazil might be developing Nuclear Weapons then yes I might agree with you. I strongly believe that South America should be kept free of Nuclear weapons.
    I hope you don't mind me saying this but you are rather uncouth and not really worthy of my time. So GSY.

    “I strongly believe that South America should be kept free of Nuclear weapons”

    Be serious and why not to include the world? Why the rest has any special benefit?

    I don’t think so, on the contrary every nation should have its nuclear weapons, this will neutralize the threat of having Nukes.

    @ 11 “That would be a recipe for disaster.” Then let it be and stop bitching, anyway, this world is heading for the ultimate collapse, so we'll have our nuclear weapons, you like it, fine, you don't then suck it.

    10 Do you really want the survival of the species to be dependant on whichever politician is least stable?

    I'd trust the vast majority of politicos with nothing more dangerous than a potato peeler myself.

    I agree with Nicodin. History has shown that a nuclear power will refrain from seriously attacking another. There's never been a direct US vs USSR/Russia combat, nor there will be a US vs China one. To demand that only South America be deprived of nuclear weapons is to demand that it be forever vulnerable to other countries' nuclear bargain. That this comes from a Britard only turns this apparently naive suggestion into a cynical one.
