    Did this meeting also happen in Brasileiro's reality?

    I liked. An agenda smoothly without any military agreement or something that would oppose our union agenda with the BRICS.

    Regarding the protection of the Amazon or the increasing use of renewable energy with which Brazil has committed, it is nothing more than we are already doing. In return received the opening of the US market, South Korean and Japanese to our fresh beef. And as a way to reaffirm our partnership with Argentina, at our request, the same advantages were offered to Argentina.

    The opening of South Korea and Japan markets also achieved because these two countries follow the health standards of the United States, through the regulations of the FDA.

    United States is already doing more than the EU in 12 years of negotiations.

    Did you take some sort of reality drug?

    I'm very happy that you see the positive aspects of Brazil trading with the West. Bravo!

    Yeah I'm happy too.

    Why would anyone want a military agreement or union with Brazil?

    Certainly not the United States!

    Perhaps Brasileiro can now clearly see that no one really cares, nor will try to stop, Brazil joining a BRICS military alliance or superstate.

    As for Japan and South Korea. Try to sell as much beef as you want, it's Australia that has free trade deals with both of them...... and China

    So DumbAss has realised that shaking Obumma hand is the thing to for the sake of Brazil?

    Pity she got her knickers in a twist about her phone being tapped by the US. Does she not realise that once a terrorist, always a terrorist as far as civilised people are concerned?

    And yes, I know about the two Irish cowards who should have been shot out of hand by the UK.

    There's Zero news about Dilma's visit.
    Not one headline in my newsfeed.
    Its like it never happened.

    Brazil has nothing to offer the USA that we can't make or get better from somewhere else.

    Plus its going into a long recession probably a depression.
    They won't be able to dig themselves out of this mess anytime soon.

    Haha!

    Brasileiro, you said many times that you want nothing from the “Western”.

    Has Dilma been lying to you again?

    So Russia gets Argentina and the USA gets Brazil.
    I think USA did the better by quite a margin.

    @2 brASSHOLE
    Can't you make up your mind ? a few months ago you stated fat D would not go to the USA. She has. You said that Brazil did not need, nor wanted anything from the “western”. No-one really knows how your small brain defines “western”, but the fact is that Brazil is now jumping, with both feet , into the deep end, preparing to sign several agreements with the USA.....
    Must suck that all your forecasts were wrong and that your wishes aren't coming true, doesn't it ?...... so now you pretend you've always been in favour of it, and praise fat D's visit to the US....what an ignorant turd you are.

    12. I have not made up my mind. There are some excellent Conservative candidates though. We are far away from a nomination but I would prefer someone who's been a State Governor. We've had enough problems with a Prez with no Executive experience and I think most Americans feel that way.

    Definitely not Clinton. She is as dirty as they come. Clintons are very low class and ruthless. The Clintons consider themselves above the law and probably should be in jail.

    Brazil is a country that is crucial to the US Pivot to Asia.
