Geography is working against Paraguay here, that and the regimes in Mercosur which have already shown themselves willing to use questionable means of keeping Paraguay in line.

Geography is only a problem because there isn't a sensible country between Paraguay and Chile. If we could get a route through southern Bolivia to Paraguay, the north of Chile could benefit from cheap electricity and Paraguay could get its produce to the Pacific. Unfortunately Bolivia could never be relied upon.

View this in reverse. Bolivia exports, and desires increase shipping in the South Pacific. That path can be financially rewarding for Chile. It can be done.

I am confident that a solution for Paraguay can also be worked out.

MERCOSUL = Political posturing, no clear voice or message, and a stalled organization. Venezuela and Argentina cannot tie their own shoes, let alone deal responsibly with Brasil, or the EU.

PACIFIC ALLIANCE = Dynamic, business oriented, and growing.
