I wouldnt be too triumphant about any of the Brasilian construction projects - it appears that big chunks of the money went into corruption/bribery meaning that the “on budget” games were inf act built by under-budget, bribed, companies.. so as with the cycle path God help those who are in any of the new facilities... I sincerely hope nothing happens but it would not surprise me at all to see stadia collapse.
May 07th, 2016 - 11:36 am - Link - Report abuse +1Although what the heck that has to do with this article I have no idea whatsoever... were you simply doing a generic trawl and couldnt think of anything better to say?
Its significant that, once again, more money is being spent in the Falkland Islands, meaning there is absolutely no lack of confidence in their future under their current leadership and People.
In a few months Brazil will have some expensive monuments to a departed corrupt Government, and the Falkland Islanders will be warm and happy .. who's laughing now?
God Brassy you are so thick! There is little need to upgrade port berthing facilities you arse- look at the picture! Modern Type 45 Destroyers berth there when they visit! That upgrade(separate budget already announced before) is a separate sum and mostly is to upgrade the secondary pontoon berthing were you see the container vessel berthed- it is a stern loading Ro-Ro so actually does not need a full side pier-could not use it!
May 07th, 2016 - 12:35 pm - Link - Report abuse +1The money- over several years will be spent on upgrading and modernising the items in the article! Already there is a modern windfarm there which has cut diesel fuel generator costs, but the generators themselves are now 34 yrs old and even at reduced demand thanks to the windfarm will not last for ever!
The British go in for timely budgeted upgrades and replacements- unlike your corrupt and virtually bankrupt nation -= now well into international junk grade credit ratings.
@1. Kind of use to let you know how much a raft costs. How many will you need to clean up Guanabara Bay? Ready for the 2016 Olympics to be marked by the refusal of the world's athletes to use the place?

Doesn't even comply with what Brazil calls “law”.
Then there'll be the bill for all the compensation.
Tell the truth! You have no money to buy toilet paper. Speak the Truth!

Do not be stupid, retarded. Your country is so fucked up that even Muslim mayor already has.

Outside my continent, Saxons!
I wonder how Brasil will be able to pay for all the mental-health medication it is buying from the UK.

Excellent news for peace in the free Falkland Islands!

Bad news for Europe.

The invasion that the Emperor Charlemagne blocked in Poitiers was not helpful.

Our air defense is far-reaching. We've destroyed your submarine before reaching the threat point, and if we reach we destroy before you blink your eyes.

The British military will protect the Falkland's,
May 07th, 2016 - 07:24 pm - Link - Report abuse +1this has nothing to do with brazil,
and if and when Argentina finds a workable raft and sails to the Falkland's,
they will see what an advanced military looks like,
before the raft sinks.
#13. A submarine launched Trident 2 missile has a range of 7500 miles. Unless you have a bomber with the endurance of something like a B52 (8000 miles give or take) then you won't even get close. Tell me... does Brazil own such an aircraft? I could sell you some nice Play Doh if you think you have the necessary skills to play with it.

May 08th, 2016 - 09:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, a nice little video of something that has not flown and probably never will.
You are technically decades from producing anything remotely like this.
What ACTUALLY have you got just now. Building fighters designed by Sweden and containing components designed and manufactured in the UK. Your technical input will be assembling aircraft from kits of parts -hardly cutting edge technology
“hahaha This money is not enough to build a mooring rafts”
May 08th, 2016 - 11:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0That's because in Brazil the price would be inflated by at least 100% so all the corrupt politicians could take their share and hundreds of government workers could be employed to do nothing all day.

.airmissiledefencebrazil.com. Read this !!!!!!!
How can an air defence missile sink a submarine 2000 miles away.
Give us the benefit of your extensive knowledge.
You are without doubt, the stupidest and most ignorant poster on mercopress forums....and that is saying something !
Looking forward to the Olympics its going to be humiliating for Brarsehole… :-)))))

I demented raving communist like Brassiere couldn't possibly roam the streets of Alberta alone, not long before he was beaten up or locked up as a loonie.
@24 “ ..or locked up as a loonie...”
May 09th, 2016 - 03:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0I thought that the loonie was the currency there.
@5. You have some very strange ideas. As though toilet paper were a measure of a country's wealth. Although, judging by Guanabara Bay, it seems as though Brazil is in terminal poverty. As a matter of interest, is their any connection between Guana**** and guano? Perhaps it's really Shitbay. I wonder why you post so many links to Youtube videos. I doubt many people look at them and it displays your inability to use words of your own.
May 09th, 2016 - 06:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0@7. Have you forgotten that “Brazilians” are invaders and occupiers? Just like argies, you demonstrate that the only thing that matters is force. Perhaps you should see yourselves as unwelcome tenants. Have you done enough to the indigenous population so that they can never kick you out? What would REAL Brazilian infrastructure look like? Because all you have is imported Portuguese. And what makes it “your” continent? Force again! And you can't even govern honestly and attain civilisation.
Oh and guess who you have to ask for training on how to get off a boat? Or have you forgotten that it Britain that came to show you beach landings?
@16
May 11th, 2016 - 10:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0An example of the permanent dreamland you inhabit.
That is fantasy and the UK's Skylon will be operational first.
You must be proud that Argentina's frontline fighter is a Brazilian made turboprop trainer armed with machine guns.
That is a fact.
Brazil is busy destroying it's greatest resource-the Amazon Rainforest.
That's why you are muppets.
The UK will return the Malvinas within 25 years.
May 13th, 2016 - 12:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hepathetic: Your imaginary Malvinas, perhaps.
May 13th, 2016 - 03:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0But the Falkland Islands are British.
Don't confuse the two.
@28 Hepatia,
May 13th, 2016 - 07:53 am - Link - Report abuse +1Argentina will return stolen land to Paraguay within 25 years.
Hepatia's 25 years never comes.... so really what Hepatia is claiming is that Argentinean sovereignty over the Falklands will NEVER arrive.
May 13th, 2016 - 08:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's actually quite nice when you realise that. Like Argentina finally realising that the Malvinas are just a mirage that keep receding into the future.
25 years into the future.
Forever 25 years.
