Have to agree with Islander. The “nigger in the woodpile” is always argieland. It's totally untrustworthy. Someone find a list of all the agreements, contracts, conventions has reneged on or breached. Then there should be a list of all the court judgements with which argieland has refused to comply. There are over 100 in the United States alone. Will argieland ever become honest? Doubtful. Most important thing for Brazil to think about is that, as long as it “associates” with argieland, there will always be suspicions that it will adopt similar attitudes. We know that argieland has “viveza criolla”. Now it seems that Brazil has “jeitinho”. And Uruguay has it as well. An “axis of moral turpitude”. Venezuela probably has it as well. It's certainly got a “strange” president. The EU would be best advised to abandon its “talks” with the illegitimate mercosur and go for the Pacific Alliance. Who wants anything from the mercosur states?

Which way will Uruguay go?
What does Paraguay think of all this?
No, definitely no! EU and USA are not on our radar. Our focus is South America, Asia and Africa.

It's a bit like Social Inclusion: nobody in LatAm REALLY understands WTF it is.
#6 These people, like this barbosa are parasites, they exist in every country, but they are never part of the society, they are always outsiders. You are always in a neurotic state of mind. Sick minded fool.

Sep 26th, 2013 - 06:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We have waited too long for the laggards in Mercosur to return to commercial sanity and for them to separate commerce from politics;
Sep 27th, 2013 - 09:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0and we have seen the explicit acceptance of Venezuelan 'Bolivarism' into the strangely evolving 'philosophy' of Mercosur.
This will never - and I mean never - square with the trading protocols of the EU.
New ways of thinking are needed by the leaders of the Mercosur nations, or at least a return to 'commercial thought'.
FIESP's way is the ONLY way to go.
[My God, I must be turning into a 'neo-liberal'!]
No, Geoff. You are a good man.
Sep 27th, 2013 - 04:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My bet is Brazil will not have an agreement in place by the time they lose the EU trade preferences and it will have devastating consequences on their exports.
Sep 27th, 2013 - 10:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Brasileiro, Your intransigence against the USA and EU will keep Brazil as the sh*thole it is. You are scorning the rich countries to deal with the poor. It is terrible policy and hopefully your gov't is not as stupid as you are but I am afraid they might be.
