    I am against this agreement. Brazil's focus should be on Asia, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the BRICS.

    Turning to Europe or North America, as we have done for the last five hundred years, is a huge mistake. Europe and North America are composed of imperialist countries whose only desire is the extermination of our South American people.

    Our place is alongside the Chinese and Russians. That is where all our hope for a better life comes from. We already know the Westerners well enough to know that they are worthless.

    Well good luck with the Chinese and Russians you'll need it.

    By the way those 'useless westerners' are quite happy for you to disappear from the real world as you and the whole of SA are just a bunch of whinging, whining losers.

    Don’t worry, this is a long way from being a done deal, there is fierce opposition to it in some parts of the EU and that is not going to go away.

    But you go and join the Dictatorships anyway, they will happily rob you blind and you are stupid enough to smile while they do it, at least you won’t be being exploited by those evil Europeans.

    Of whom you are one, ironically enough, just ask the native Amazonians, they can tell you who and what you are.

    Bras, no one cares if a little commie like you is against the agreement. , its not a done deal anyway, their are objections to be looked at, North America is nothing to do with the post but you cant help yourself and have to mention them and spew hate.
    Why dont you call Russia an imperialist country, invading Ukraine. how did Russia become the largest country in the world? by imperialism, invading and conquering other peoples home. Putin also has a private army of mercenaries in Africa, causing all sorts of problems, what about condemning China for annexing China, for treating the Muslims in China like dirt, for reneging on the Hong Kong deal. or them trying to claim Indonesian, Malaysian and Philippine territory,
    BRICS is an informal trade clock nothing more, some of these member countries are evil dictatorships who crush peoples freedom. and what you also forget is that every white person in Brazil is of European heritage who stole land off the natives, it is you who is worthless and uneducated and blind, thank goodness commies in Brazil are a minority,
    Your posts are beyond stupid.
