    Looks like Brazil is right behind Argentina and Venezuela. It would be nice to rid SA of the Alba pestilence at the same time.

    Oh dear!

    Dissention in the ranks with outright defiance of the Supreme Leader’s plans to take Brazil into the big boys club.

    “European taxes for African services”

    Well, they have the first bit right, certainly in the UK, welcome to the club.

    This is not going exactly to plan is it? Oh, oh, hang on a cotton picking minute (one hour) IS there a plan? It doesn’t seem so to me.

    If it is necessary to choose between the U.S. and China, I prefer the East (China).

    Brasso, We don't' care. Brazil is on track to another recession and back to the tried and true economic failures of the 90s.
    I hope you enjoyed your very very brief stint being above the UK in GDP rankings because its probably the last time you'll see that in your lifetime.

    Se liga, Mané. Be careful with China because it will swallow you. And you've managed to break free from its recession? Growth USA 1,9% in 2013, México 1,1%, Brasil 2,3%.

    Who is in recession?

    What about Brazil being screwed by Argentina, your Mercosur hermano, over the auto exports, the EU Free Trade Agreement, and choosing to do more business with China than Brasil now?????

    Argentina is hurting Brazil more than any other country.

    Are you really Brazilian ????

    You sound more Argentinian !!!

    We had a war against the Spanish. Our shame. We lost the war. But Paraguay invaded us.

    Argentina understood and was on our side.

    Our debt is moral!

    Argentina:
    Bend over Brazil, you have a moral debt to us.

    Brazil:
    Yes, master, will it hurt as much as last time?

    @4 We've already established that you don't have a brain. You try and fail, try and fail, try and fail. Don't you get it yet?
    @6 A percentage alone is not enough, dummy. 1.9% of 1,000 = 19. 1.1% of 500 = 5.5. 2.3% of 250 = 5.75. Get the picture?
    @8 What happens when the “pirates” cut your cables? I did think it was funny when your “president” came up with her “defence” against monitoring. Probably something to do with your subs being WW2 standard. Modern submarines and remote submersibles are much more capable. Did you know that modern equipment can dive to 11 miles? Equipment can be placed to monitor, cut or destroy. So much for your “power”. And it's already been done. No development needed.
    @10 Unsurprising. It's when the opposition has more than spears and bows and arrows!

    10 Brassiere

    “Argentina understood and was on our side.”

    The “War of the Triple Alliance ” - 3 nations ganged up against 1, Paraguay.

    That was a 150 years ago, and you ruthlessly overwhelmed them.

    Sounds like an “alliance” of cowards.

    Brassiero,
    YOU are not Brazil.
    Don't YOU have any comments ??? about how badly Argentina is treating Brazil, breaking agreements, selling you out, causing hardships for many real Brazilians and the economy ???

    I am expecting you to “betray” Argentina, but I would expect a real Brazilian to “criticise” Argentina, at least.

    Argentina is saying “F**k you” to Brazil, a neighbour twice her size.

    ...and you say “that's ok”

    Not a real Brazilian, not even a real man!!

    You are Argentina's bitch, Brassiero.

    I mean “Argentino”

    Well, you got the “we are dreamers” bit right.

    The Dark Country would have your country if it could AND what would a bunch of “brotherly love” wankers like you do about it: nada!

    Brasileiro at 6 said:

    Hhhmm latest growth rates:
    US 2.6%
    UK 2.7%
    Canada 2.7%
    Australia 2.8%

    Brazil 1.9%

    Thanks for the update.

    It's amusing that “Brasiliero ” or whatever he calls himself, is not more righteously indignant about the arrogance, obstinance, self centredness and betrayal of Brasil by their hermanos, the Argentinians.

    As a Brasilian, one would think he would be outraged and insulted by their attitude!

    I would expect that he would be raging against Dilma, a President who ineptly let CFK walk all over the Brazilian people, in favour of... the chinese!

    Brassiero is an Argentine apologist, nothing more.

    The correct word is “ irmão. ” Not hermano.

    As there was no disagreement or correction, I agree.
