By Thiago de Aragão (*) The Brazilian government, eager to assert itself as South America’s preeminent power, finds itself at a crossroads. The victory of libertarian opportunist Javier Milei in Argentina’s recent presidential election has added a new element of uncertainty to Brazil’s relationship with its southern neighbor.

Who are you kidding, Brasso, you are the clown that wants to take over all of South America. Unfortunately, I already played that game, I've owned it since around 1980...

... therefore why do you're not critical of the left-wing...?
¡Saludos de Panquehue!
Extremism is bad whether its right or left Bras,
Dec 14th, 2023 - 03:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Brazil probably can stop Venezuela, question is does it have the will to do so.
Dec 14th, 2023 - 03:40 pm - Link - Report abuse +1If not the Americans certainly will, then no doubt there will be a chorus of ‘Yankee Imperialism’ from those who did nothing.
As we all understand, this is all about oil. Venezuela did not give a rip about these old and absurd territorial claims until hydrocarbons in significant quantities were confirmed. Lula's problem is that he can not ignore Petrobras' interests in this. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/shell-chevron-petrobras-weigh-guyana-oil-auction-bids-sources-2023-03-06/ Access to hydrocarbons equates with national self interest and the majority of military conflicts since the proliferation of the internal combustion engine have involved this directly or indirectly.

Dec 15th, 2023 - 09:45 am - Link - Report abuse -1I once said that my ideology is egalitarian and environmental conservationist. The far-right ideology is environmentally destructive, selfish and income concentrating.
People like the author of this article overturned the presidential veto of the Marco Temporal in the Brazilian Congress (Center-Right) last night. This means that criminal farmers now have carte blanche to deforest and massacre Amazonian Indians.
The far right is anti-humanity.
Pugol
Do not even think about it. Any interference from the United States here will immediately open the doors to all types of military agreements with Russia and China. You would lose a lot. We have nothing to lose.
Leadership, Pugol, is not built with threats.
Bras, you are the one making threats, if Brazil does not stop Maduro then the USA will, nothing you can do about it, and no Brazil will not cosy up to Russia or China with all types of military agreements, stop with commie garbage , you do not represent Brazil. your Ruskie education lets you down badly.
Dec 15th, 2023 - 10:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0Western trash doesn't rule here anymore.
Dec 15th, 2023 - 10:47 am - Link - Report abuse -1Western trash ? again you are being very silly, Brazil is the west, a democratic free country, the only threats being made are by the Venezuelan government towards Guyana and yourself, your communist ideals are not shared by the population of Brazil. if you love Xi and Putin so much go and live there, and lose all the rights that you have being part of the west, communism is anti humanity, its about controlling everything and everybody, when you lose the argument you come out with same anti west clap trap which you are part of, The west does rule Brazil, you are the west, why is that so difficult to understand,
Dec 15th, 2023 - 10:58 am - Link - Report abuse -1I'm not going anywhere. I will stay here and I will not allow you and your Western trash to contaminate MY country!
Dec 15th, 2023 - 11:00 am - Link - Report abuse -1you are the west, and you can not stop nothing, just 1 commie in a population of over 100 million. grow up, every post you do is about hate and we this and we that, you speak for no one but yourself,
Dec 15th, 2023 - 11:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Think however you want. But it is my vote and the vote of millions of like-minded people that won the election.
Dec 15th, 2023 - 11:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0So, take advantage of the opportunity and be very quiet. You're not even Brazilian, Westerner.
Communists havent won the election have they ?, you are still a western democracy arent you, what are you talking about, you are making a fool of yourself

Dec 15th, 2023 - 01:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Firstly, oh nooo, I make no threat, I am merely predicting what will happen if S. America doesn’t reign in this clown Maduro, a very different thing altogether.
Secondly, don’t kid yourself, this is all about what S. America has to lose and the real Bras would have known that.
Thirdly, who are you and what have you done with the real Bras?

His thinking, never mind his English, is never that clear, never.
I hope you are keeping him in humane conditions?
We have all heard what S. American prisons can be like, if you’re not disappeared altogether.
I try to be very clear. With a little poetry and art.
Dec 15th, 2023 - 01:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Brazil doesn't want to lead anything. Brazil does not want war with anyone. Brazil does not want to have any territory beyond what we already have.
Brazil will not prevent anything. If Venezuela invades Guyana, there will be war between Brazil and Venezuela. That's what I said.
If the United States interferes, Brazil will rely on Russia and China. Because, with the current resources that Brazil has, it will not be able to face the United States. That's what I said.
So you Westerners should stay away from here. Was I clear?
Ahh. And we don't want help to take care of or fight against any country in South America.
Regarding the English I write, complain to Google, because I don't speak a single word of your language. I do not even want!
Bras II
Dec 15th, 2023 - 02:37 pm - Link - Report abuse -1Nah, our Bras is neither as articulate or Toxic as you and clearly didn’t use Google.
I repeat ‘who are you and what have you done with the real Bras?’
‘are keeping him in humane conditions?’
Surely even in a place like Brazil someone like him is allowed a lawyer, no IQ test to be passed.
So, you need to Man up, or Woman up, grow some cojones, or ovaries and post under your own name and stop besmirching the not so bad name of Bras I.
He was just a hapless but likeable fool going on his merry way, not Toxic and twisted up like you.
You have probable never even heard of Jimmy Cliff.

Sorry Bras, but none of your posts have made much sense, If Brazil will not help Guyana stop mad Maduros invasion then Guyana has every right to ask help from the USA, Brazil would not object one bit. in fact they would probably cheer, and no Brazil will not suck up to the Russians and Chinese in any military pact,
