    'Although Rousseff is a former Petrobras board chair, she herself is not under investigation over the multi-billion dollar kickback scheme, which has turned the once icon corporation of Brazil into the most indebted oil company in the world.'

    WHY NOT !!!

    Yet another Latam leader who has made a terrible mess of things, they never learn from their mistakes. Recidivists the lot of them.

    None of that matters. What really matters is to amplify the South-Western sanctions in all areas of human activity. We do not Western should not use Western language or watch your movies or listen to your music or buy anything made in the West or use any Western service or maintain diplomatic relations with the West.

    In other words is to pretend that the West does not exist and maintain absolute focus on the BRICS, UNASUR, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Middle East..

    8. Toby, you're posts are so utterly ridiculous I'm actually wondering if you're sane.
    I am beginning to think you are not.

    Brazil can not survive without the USA UK EU trade. No way No how.

    The Portuguese is a language from South. It makes 515 years that the Portuguese language is no longer Western.

    @ 11 Brasso

    Don't be a twat for the rest of your (hopefully short) life.

    Portugal, where the Portuguese language originated is in Western Europe, bounded by the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the dreadful Spaniards in the east.

    There is no south about it.

    Now if you say that the language spoken in Brazil is NOT Portuguese then I strongly suspect you are correct just as Spanish in SA generally is abhorred by the outfit (the name of which escapes me, thankfully) set up by the government presumably to POLICE the misuse of their revered (by the Spanish anyway) lingo.

    To anybody else who has been educated properly and speaks English they are both just Jibber-Jabber.

    Hope that helps.

    Portugal is the South! Portugal that was in Iberia is part of the South. Not the West!

    @ 13 Brasso

    OK, I give up.

    Final question: is Portugal in the North or South hemisphere?

    It's in the North, dummy, on the western edge of Europe.

    @8 brASSHOLE
    “... What really matters is to amplify the South-Western sanctions in all areas of human activity...”
    You are a real nincompoop....first , it's clear you know nothing about geography....you don't know where Brazil is located, nor Europe...only your smelly slum.
    Second, what south-western sanctions are you referring to, those that according to your small brain, should be “amplified” ? tell us numbnuts !!
    @11 asshole
    “The Portuguese is a language from South”....do you by any chance walk on your hands and that's why you think north is south and v.v . ??
    Your statement @13 that “Portugal is the south” proves what an uneducated idiot you are....may I suggest then that you catch a bus and go south until you reach Venezuela.....

    @14 ChrisR
    Why d'you give him the answer ? would have been interesting to see him struggle and conclude it was somewhere in Africa....
