Comments for Anti-Americanism Is Hurting Brazil, Says Former Brazilian Ambassador to the US at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 20 out of 31 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:57:52 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_7093 Most people in Brazil sees Chavez in the best perspective as a clown, worst as a Castro wanna-be. Yes ... of course there are exceptions, but the feelings towards Chavez and Morales around here are not good (actually, the media is bombarding Morales since the day in which he started with Petrobras). About anti-americanism ... well, I agree with Mr. Roberto about the trends on the government. It's dumb to consider China an ally since all they've been doing is to crush Brazil in most market levels ... I think that Brazil has more to do with US or India than it does with Russia or China, but Mr. Bush is really putting a bad name on you guys ... - pwnzer Mon, 19 Feb 2007 12:37:59 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6802 You can take a bus from Caracas to Boa Vista, Roraima. Why would Chavez attack Boa Vista, or Manaus? What would be the point? Could his planes make it to Brasilia and bomb it? What would he do next, try to occupy it? Or maybe he would like some more jungle. Actually the jungle runs out as one flies from Manaus north to Boa vista, it´s a savanna. Or maybe he comes across the border with infantry. I know some of these Brazilian jungle ops guys. Their training is tough, dirty, muddy, barfy, disgusting. Segundo Bis and others. I doubt that the neighbors to the north come close. Then a US fleet shows up on Venezuela´s border. And it´s goodby Chavez. Not going to happen. Nothing to gain and everything to lose. - Ric Wed, 07 Feb 2007 01:45:50 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6782 u.s.a, you will never convince a Brazilian who is Anti-American that thier opinion of the US is flawed. Its a broader problem that requires re-education. There is 2 sides to the story. PPGY is right and he is wrong but he is mostly angry at what he sees as American arrogance, like most of the world that is angry with the USA right now. But he is oblivous to reality because what he hears all around him is Anti Americanism, especially from his government, but doesn't know much about America, its people or how it operates. PPGY is correct in the fact that the USA has a bad problem with foregin policy, but, the US not losing in Iraq, They aren't doing anything, which is much like losing because the leadership is broken on all levels. Bottom line, the USA shouldn't even be in Iraq. It was an arrogant, self serving bullying move aimed at installing Democracy in a key region in the Middle East that could do nothing but backfire. And it was based on lies. That dumb ass president is so arrogant and proud, that he would rather send more troops into harms way to save his own legacy, limiting what they can accomplish, than to admit a terrible misjudgement and try to find a solution. America's problem is Bush, Rice, Cheney etc. plain and simple. Most Americans know this. At least the smart ones do. Brazil has problems with social inequality, corruption, violence, drugs etc. You can't even compare the problems of the 2 countries because they are so different. So everyone is right and everyone is wrong. Stop the childish ranting about who is better than who and what country is screwed up because guess what? We all are. And in the end, its gong to be global warming, a solar storm, a meteor, or a million other dooms day scenarios. The earth is going to shake all of us off like a bad case of the fleas. And we deserve it. - gone in 60 seconds Mon, 05 Feb 2007 23:29:15 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6774 The truth about America's weakness and their third straight war loss seems to really irriate these rednecks...it makes me laugh so fucking hard to see and hear these impotent imperialists changing their diapers everytime someone sneezes now...I love it! - PPGY Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:42:27 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6773 Lets see: they worship a dead marxist! (che guevarra), they idolize a marked man( Osama B Laden)!!, they follow a communist wannabee with no military (chavez)...And they wagered their casa that Brazil would win the world cup.... They re-elect a corrupt socialist...And they offer themselves up as usefull idiots for the cause.... ....As the first world shrugs them off to "ignore status"...300 years of disfunction is your legacy!!.... - u.s.a. Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:40:27 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6771 american nationalism seems to really irritate these america haters....it is so hilarious to hear these frothing little impotent losers PPeeing their pants .... - u.s.a. Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:09:16 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6770 It is clearly disadvantageous for Brazilian government officials to take such a hard line against a super power, but one can understand why they do sometimes. It is just unfortunate if they are not looking at thing with broader perspective, because true vision in government is what Brazil need right now. - BThomas Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:08:18 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6769 Is that all you got? Long live Osama! - PPGY Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:05:04 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6768 oh those tails between our legs?... Well you can ask your girlfriend what that is .... - u.s.a. Mon, 05 Feb 2007 19:58:58 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6764 PP is right on the money. Both about the poor performance of the US military in Iraq and else where. Are your arguments being those of teenagers. - GTY Mon, 05 Feb 2007 19:20:07 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6763 PP , don,t be so jealous!!!... your stunted growth is hereditary!! .... - cold front Mon, 05 Feb 2007 19:15:00 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6761 Hey...you guys lost 4 choppers in 5 days to those "inferior Russian made weapons" . Your getting your ass kicked in Iraq and the enemy is not flying MIGS, just blowing you all up with anything available. Funny, weapons don't have to be "formidable" to send you all home packing with your tails beween your legs. - PPGY Mon, 05 Feb 2007 19:11:31 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6760 If in fact middle class venezuelans wish to flee their country for the u.s.a., for political asylum,... then tell them to get LULU in brazil to "take back "his brazilian nationals( illegal aliens) presently in the u.s.a. ... - cold front Mon, 05 Feb 2007 19:03:02 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6759 lets see,... 24 outdated inferior jets... 53 helicopters... and 100,000 rifles... Wow!!!... sounds like a formidable military.... The only threat chavez poses to any one in the world is to his own people... the bluffing blowhard barking midget with the imaginary army....." - cold front Mon, 05 Feb 2007 18:52:22 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6758 Well, you´re the expert, Bob, but a lot of guys might disagree that Bo lives in this site. He probably has a house somewhere. - Ric Mon, 05 Feb 2007 18:12:33 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6752 This site is full of Brazil-hating rednecks, but I agree with you, by the way "coldfront" writes and his delirous interpretation of his own reality he is more likely to be a teenager. Bo is just an idiot that lives in this site copying and pasting bad news in every single article. - A brazilian Mon, 05 Feb 2007 14:18:50 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6749 "The latest deal will send 24 Russian-made Sukhoi Su-30 MK2 fighter jets and 53 military helicopters to Venezuela. Chavez also announced that Moscow has agreed to build a Kalashnikov rifle factory in Venezuela. Under a prior deal between the two countries, 100,000 Kalashnikov AK-103 rifles are supposed to arrive in Venezuela this year. (See ACT, May 2005.)" Yeah, styrofoam weapons indeed. - GTY Mon, 05 Feb 2007 12:46:24 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6748 I know, the truth hurts. But these countries are now trading with the East... China, Russia, Iran and other Islamic countries. They get much better market access and better margins on their products. I am not saying things are perfect, after decades under the imperialistic US thumb, it will take a while. But things are moving in the right direction for them What direction are things moving for you in the US? Are you really another racist redneck like Bo. Or just stupid? - PPGY Mon, 05 Feb 2007 12:37:04 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6746 You again prove you are a teenage moron. Chavez has purchased 100,000 AK47's and 25 MIGs from Russia, who you should really be worried about, now he is now negotiating with Russia to purchase ground to air missles... Your getting your asses kicked in Iraq and Afganistan, I wouldn't bet against Chavez if it was to ever happen. - PPGY Mon, 05 Feb 2007 12:29:41 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7852/54/#pc_6745 Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Agrentina, Chile are all better of since their move left and out of the pockets of US businesses... How old are you is the real question! Because that was on helluva naive statement. - bo Mon, 05 Feb 2007 12:29:01 +0100
