Jun 17th, 2013 - 09:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Malvinas son Argentina?
NO, well I never!
Two things from this article.
Jun 17th, 2013 - 09:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Latin America has too many overlapping organisations. Most do very little.
Secondly, seems Brazil should have been a little more active in WW2 and it wouldn't rue the missed opportunity to have been one of the big boys back then.
She presided over the worst foreign policy of Brazil she is an idiot along with the others so call bolivarian “leaders” you put them toghether and you can get 60 IQ
Jun 18th, 2013 - 09:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0'... the Brazilian president emphasized that the country has “extremely qualified relations with the EU and the United States”.'
Jun 18th, 2013 - 04:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now, there's a weasel-word! ... 'qualified' relations.
In English it means 'not exactly wholehearted'.
Perhaps Dilma's use of language is more sophisticated than we think!
@5 Journalists often say she speaks in dilmês, her own demagogic language. LOL
Jun 18th, 2013 - 06:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nobody was a greater critic of the prospective Presidenta than me, but she has done better - much better - than I expected.
Jun 18th, 2013 - 06:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0She started out her term of office with 'wolves' on all flanks, especially within her own coalition.
I never really expected her to survive the power-plays; but she has done so, and with a lot of honour intact.
I can forgive her her 'demagogic language'.

Do you think that Brazilian troops should accompanied German troops across the Polish frontier in 1939? Or do you think that they should have even been more involved and participated in the invasion of Czechoslovakia? And why are you so dissatisfied by Brazil's actual participation in WWII?
Jun 19th, 2013 - 03:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My country was bombs by the Japanese in WW2.
Jun 19th, 2013 - 09:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Was yours?
Brazil missed out on a permanent seat in the 1940s. Not my fault. Up to your usual low standards Hepatia.

Jun 20th, 2013 - 03:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0I was unaware that the chief qualification for a permanent UN SC seat was having been bombed by the Japanese during WWII. If that's the case then there are a great many countries that should have such a seat.
It appears that Brazil now has a beef with Japan. The Japanese, being the inconsiderate country they were at that time, neglected to build aircraft of sufficient range to allow them to bomb Brazil.
I'm not from the US you idiot.
Jun 20th, 2013 - 10:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brazil is not a serious country since the end of the second reign, when our beloved Dom Pedro II was in charge. If we can't keep a contract with Mexico, we are better out of the big guys clubs, getting out of the picture. No one would take us seriously anyway... only the bigots in more f*cked up ecnomies of South America.
Jun 20th, 2013 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Seems Rousseff should have been worrying about bus fares instead of bullying the neighbours. Pity she didn't see the writing on the wall (CFK's wall, that is).The Paraguayans must be laughing their heads off.
