Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff received her peer from Paraguay, Horacio Cartes with full head of state honours but at the same time reminded him that Paraguay is a full member of Mercosur and “bilateral relations are in the context of multilateral relations with all countries of the hemisphere”.

@2 “The good son always returns to her parents home”.

Oct 02nd, 2013 - 11:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is impossible to insult yourself. The Brazil belongs to Paraguay!
No, Dilma, Mercosur belongs to its members, not the other way around
Oct 02nd, 2013 - 11:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0... and she should have remembered this before she voted to remove Paraguay from it.
”“bilateral relations are in the context of multilateral relations with all countries of the hemisphere”.
I can see what she is getting at,
but Mercosur is (or should be) a trading association - no more and no less.
So her 'bilateral' relations are (or should be) in the context of ONLY Mercosur member states, and should be multilateral with the countries and trading blocs of the world, not just the hemisphere.
Time to get a shift on Dilma, and take the lead on the EU issue ... you are the only country that can lead Mercosur by the commercial horns.
You could start by delegating the Sao Paulo business group to match some Mercosur protocols to those of the EU, identifying where they are severely lacking, and draft some protocols that are appropriate to worldwide trade.
@2 Indeed. And stuff Brazil until it pays a fair price for the electrical power it “steals” from Paraguay. How about US$10 per kilowatt hour?
Oct 02nd, 2013 - 01:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@5 Any Paraguyans here? Glad to help you bomb and missile Brazil into remembering its place. Brazilians are such wankers. Forgotten that all mercosur full members are equal? But just take a look. “Little” UK managed to stage a world sporting competition without any problem. “Wonderful” Brazil can't. Exclude Brazil from such “bidding”. It's not up to it. Would you let Somalia bid? Brazil is the same sort of shite!

@7 Brazilians have always been the same, talking to much and taking advantage of others cowardly. They've done it in the triple alliance war against Paraguay (1864- 1870), altogether with Argentina and Uruguay, beacause brazilians have never got the balls to face Paraguayans by themselves. keep talking proudly but never forget how coward you brazilian faggots are. This is no the first time you selfish cowards hide behind Argentinians and Uruguayans against a poor, small but proud country as Paraguay!

Despite all the psychological bribery and intimidation, I suspect Paraguai will not be returning to Mercosul.
Oct 02nd, 2013 - 03:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The rush to judgment to punish Paragai by suspending them as a Mercosul member over Lugo, and simultaneously sneaking Venezuela in at the same time, appears to have been clearly ill advised, poorly constructed, and a mistake. Paraguai is owed, an deserves an apology.
If you mistreat a member of your family unfairly, by kicking them below the belt as a punishment, they have little reason then to get back in line when you snap your fingers.
There was a time when the UK produced its own ballistic delivery vehicles in its own space programme, Brasileiro, but the cost became too much so the projects were cancelled forever.
Oct 02nd, 2013 - 03:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Brasil may be the inheritor of the UK's earlier aspiration ... as long as it does not become the Robin Hood socialist state that became the fate of the UK. Once you go a way down this road it becomes impossible to row back and still win office, and the costs of a dependent society are too much to both bear and develop.
So, Conq., all that can be looked forward to is regression, depression and, ultimately - self-delusion.
No way to run a business.

It is significant that Cartes travelled first to Chile, a member of the Pacific Alliance than to the other Mercosur members. Returning to Mercosur isn't even a priority for Paraguay.

Just does not look like Paraguay is going back to Murcosur “full time” any time soon.
Oct 02nd, 2013 - 06:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ms Rousseff speaks of the “power and influence of a superstate”, power to influence what is somewhat unclear.
Mr Cartes talks of “battling poverty”, very laudable of course.
Not the same hymn sheet though.
@ 18 Brasileiro
So, during the Paraguayan war did you only eradicate Spanish speakers?
@ 21 Think
Should not the address read:

Give thanks to Spanish speakers. If Brazilians were in 1982, there would be no more English speakers.

@ 25 Brasileiro
Oct 02nd, 2013 - 07:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your war canoes would have proved somewhat less effective than the Argy Navy, at least they were not sunk by the weather.
Brutality is what you did, and continue to do, to your indigenous population.
How much Guarani, or any other native S American language can you speak?
We get along very well. More and more Brazilians are. Lacks a bit of the Amazônia, but we are doing our part.
Oct 02nd, 2013 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Brasilian portuguese has absorbed and adapted many, many words of Tupi-Guarani; some local dialects more than other.
Oct 02nd, 2013 - 07:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Asking younger people, I find they frequently do not identify specific words as being of indigenous origin - it's just 'what we speak'. The lexicography of modern day Brasilian is really fascinating.
Good, Geoff. Thanks!

Did you ever ask the Amazonians if they wanted to be assimilated into the collective?
Sounds like a queue for intervention!!!!
@28 GeoffWard2
“Brazilian” (interesting choice of word) will be of many roots, as is English, or any other language you care to name.
With respect, my question here was how much did “Brasileiro”, the alleged Brazilian, know about (any) indigenous roots.
Brazil will never amount to anything as long they have the communist party in charge.

Oct 03rd, 2013 - 11:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0No Mister Pugol-H, I do not understand any other language. Only portuguese.
@12 Are you trying to make some sort of relevant point?
Oct 03rd, 2013 - 12:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@13 Please note that the correct word is “degenerate”. The correct format is “because I am a degenerate”.
@16 Well, you have a number of “choices”. Learn to use an online translator properly. Important method is to translate from one language to the other, then translate back, then re-translate. Next option is to learn to use a computer with intelligence. Not “it's” intelligence. Yours. This doesn't work if you have no intelligence. Finally, learn to speak and understand the most prevalent language in the world. Contact your government for the issue of another braincell. You don't have a great chance. Those who gibber “spanish” are pretty disadvantaged. And those that gibber “portuguese”? Aliens!
@21 You're missing the point. When you HAVE to make a round of contacts, you go to the shit place FIRST. Then you can hope to scrape the SHIT off elsewhere before returning “home”. Argieland is, of course, the home of SHIT. Chubut is ONE of the “homes” of argie genocide. Anyone in Chubut is a genocidal murderer walking over the blood and bones of the owners of the land. Chubutense are thieving, murdering genocides.
@22 Crap speaks to shit.
@25 If “Brazilians were in 1982, there would be no more Brazilians” Best reason I can think of to launch a nuclear strike. Remember that Prime Minister Thatcher was prepared to launch a strike on argieland alone. And who would miss Brazil?
@27 Available EVIDENCE says argieland is dragging Brazil into oblivion. No real problem. Let the shit kill each other.
@32 Thicko! But, realistically, Paraguay is/was a member of mercosur. It was disenfranchised by a couple of dictatorships and a wimp. Its “strategic” importance to brazil should be of no interest to Paraguay. Best thing to do, in analogous terms, is to screw Brazil to a handy wall and then cut its balls off. Then the sledgehammer. Smash 'em flat.

Oct 03rd, 2013 - 01:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The communist party put forward a candidate for Presidential office and were eliminated in the first round. Not a runner.
They are allied to PT etc. within the coalition but only hold a small percentage of seats in Chamber of Deputies (15/513) and in the Senate (2/81). But they do hold a lot of power in the unions and as local mayors.

I used the language title 'Brasilian' because, whilst in Portugal last week, I realised how much Tupi idiom etc has split the language from its parent tongue.
@ 34 Geoff,

Oct 03rd, 2013 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just the same as the language spoken in Uruguay is no longer Castilian and is badly fractured between the various areas of the country.
V is spoken as a B, l and ll as shh and the individual dialects are only used for a few kilometres before it changes once more. Even my Spanish teacher is frustrated by the illiteracy among the “Socially Included” so greatly thought of by “The Dear Leader” and his bitch, TMBOA.
Hello ChrisR. How are you in this morning? Oh, nice nickname!
Oct 03rd, 2013 - 01:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Cartes is something new in South America and it shows.
Oct 03rd, 2013 - 09:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He listens to every other head of state rant and rail and demand and instruct; and then he politely thanks them, ignores them and continues to chart his own path.
Brazil and Argentina think that Paraguay belongs to Mercosur and hence to them. They are failing to realise that Paraguay belongs to the Paraguayans. And they elected Cartes.
And Cartes is finally showing the maturity of a leader that knows how to play politics and be diplomatic. Lessons that Maduro and CFK could learn and even Dilma by the sounds of it.
So far Cartes hasn't done what many predicted. It will be interesting to see what he does next. Even Dilma is waiting to know.

A made up video of a proposed hypersonic scramjet. When exactly will Brasil have this flying ? 2100 ?
The USA, Russia and the UK have not produced anything more than prototype designs although the USA is testing some flying models.
The UK has made a breakthrough in engine technology which could lead to commercial viability of this project.
See the attached reference below.

Brasil has produced exactly what apart from a video ?
Your country has a long long way to go to catch up with scientific research in the UK.
