you might be on their future hit list
just a targeting thought.
Brazil is becoming a Western country.
Sep 23rd, 2014 - 11:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Since the PT took over in 2003, Brazil has a voting record in the UN, of either sitting on the fence , or favouring countries that support various, distorted forms of socialism....usually against the interests of the more advanced western countries. This alone, gives one a good idea of where the PT's simpathies lie.
Sep 23rd, 2014 - 04:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As to Marco Aurelio Garcia, he is just a dirty communist...put in place by Lulla.
His claim “We don't have any position in support of intervention in any country in the world, and we respect the principle of self determination”...just proves he is a notorious liar, as is obvious when you consider (1) his actions to condemn Paraguay within the Mercosur, because the neighbour's Congress had the balls to get rid of paedophile Lugo, one of his, and Lulla's, buddies.... and (2) his alleged support for 'self-determination', yet , both he and Dilma dumbass openly support Argie sovereignty of the Falklands, with absolutely no consideration for the rights of the Islanders.
He, Lulla, Dilma, and 99% of the PT, all the same sh*t.
http://en.mercopress.com/2014/09/23/rousseff-s-government-denies-brazil-has-any-imperial-intentions#comment353489: I does not seem to have occurred to you but the mandate of any administration is to vote their country's interests. So there is no requirement for Brazil to vote for the interests of the “more advanced western countries”.
Sep 24th, 2014 - 02:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0WRT the Malvinas the Brazilian government is aware the the UK will be returning the territory within the next 25 years so there is no point in it supporting UK sovereignty. This is true irrespective of which administration is in power. So, for instance, the policy of the military regimes was exactly the same as the Lula administration in this regard.

25 should that not be 23 years now? After all it was two years ago when Argentina made that pipe dream prediction.

Sep 24th, 2014 - 05:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sure, I can agree with your comment “the mandate of any administration is to vote their country's interests”.......but that seldom happens here....most times the vote is purely ideological, siding with their 'dictator-pals' from the neighbouring countries', and rarely attends the true interests of Brazil's population. Under the PT, Brazil acts like a typical 3rd world banana republic.

Sep 24th, 2014 - 11:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think “the people's interests” to you means “the interests of multinationals, speculators and corrupt politicians of the PSDB”.
So for people like you, Brazil is the worst place in the world. However for the majority of Brazilians, Brazil has advanced more in the last twelve years that during the five hundred years that the corrupt right-wing parties ruled.
“ Cuba is improving. ”
Sep 25th, 2014 - 06:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0Cuba is improving ?

2. 55 years
3. Absolutely ZERO.

I think that the “people's interests” means the “people's interests”, you know, the interests of those who go to work everyday, work hard, earn a salary, pay taxes....and then, get screwed by the Government which gives them nothing in return. Brazil is definitely not the worst place in the world, but the PT seems to be doing what it can, to make it just that....The PT has this chip on their shoulder when it comes down to the so-called “rich” , or even to multinationals, but you've got to remember that it is they who provide the jobs....poor people don't create or give jobs to poor people. But even with this disgusting class-division speech, the PT is not against it's high-ranking party members from becoming rich (e.g., Lulla, Lullinha...), even if through proven corruption... ...just look at the way the PT still claim that the “mensalão” never existed, and idolizes Dirceu & Co....doesn't any of this disgust you ?? make you at least a little angry ?? It's just food for thought, but if you think that the PT is not corrupt, or it is better than the rest of the political class, then you'll just have to wait and see where the PT is taking Brazil ....towards VZ and Cuba.....despite your limited brain, I'm sure you've heard , and seen enough about VZ and Cuba to know that they are not models for any decent country. What I am trying to get across to you, is that Brazil could be 10 times better than it is , if only the government was not about itself, but about the “people”.....
And just some important information for you : political parties in Brazil did not exist before 1889, therefore right-wing parties have NOT ruled Brazil for 500 years. What a moron you are...
Another piece of information : it was the PSDB's two presidential terms and the Plano Real that gave Brazil the initial push which set the base for anything the PT may have done. Check your facts before you spout a load of crap.
