Aren’t you pessimist Dundee? LOL! Sorry, but I couldn’t resist after have seen the picture!

My fear here is not what other countries can do against Brazil, but what Brazil can do to them (of course in the worst case scenario). There was never such peace conditions here, but now this delicate peaceful situation may be at some sort of risk.

Xenophobic behavior against Brazilians and sophisticated weapons in the hands of unaccountable rulers may trigger a very hostile Brazilian response.

celso

i really like this article. i have never known much about brazilian foreign policy, especially in the military realm. i also never imagined that other nations would view brazil in the same category as the us. i have seen it a little in the attitudes here in chile.

i look forward to your articles on china and india. and may i suggest, japan. since a significant portion of the brazilian populace is japanese, i would imagine that there are some peculiar relations with japan.

abraço

Thank you, Casey!

That’s the problem with populists presidents: they shoot everywhere, always trying to create fear in people.

Anyway, I’ve posted a new article, this time about Brazil-China.
