Political rants

So long the US keeps that "holier than thou" attitude when it comes to demands, it's obvious that China and Russia will be more prominent.

The biggest threat to the western world (and by western world, I mean, US' allies) is the prospect of the US returning to isolationism. European countries have a myriad of problems (lack of military, polarization, overreliance on Chinese products and Russian gas). An alliance to stop Russia (Stop, not Destroy) would fail from its beginning.

As for my country, since we were reeduced to prostitutes, it only takes the murikens to makes us kneel and brand Russia as our enemy. Otherwise, they can just block our ports (since we have no rail networks) to affect Russia and China (since we are part of the BRICS). Not a single soldier would be needed.

Disdain for Plebs @nebelstern hey Sal, I'm actually hoping for the destruction of Russia and the fragmentation of it's states, destruction as in, abolishment of the nation, not literal destruction of property and land.

People in the US are getting pissed off with the government putting too much focus on foreign interests and not in it's own citizens.

I want Brazil to regain its former prestige as a neutral country and try to actually build economic power in the continent. We can't be slaves to the US. We are such ever since the military dictatorship. Brazil has a LOT of potential. We are overset by a stupid people and stupid politicians (not even corrupt, just dumb).

I knew what you meant, @swadian , but it won't happen unless they lose a WWIII. Russia is getting closer to the US in terms of technology and they kind of have the EU in their hands because most countries have no nuclear power plants (bar fr*nce)

I joke with Raf and Shon that I dream that Brazil would conquer Latin America, but we actually have the potential to do so (not by invading these countries). We have the bread, we just need the butter...
