Comparing Brazil to Venezuela is pretty ignorant. I dont say that to be insulting, but you have to lack even a surface level knowledge base of those two situations to compare the two.
Respectfully, I wouldn't even care about Brazil if it wasn't for the environmental influence of the country. :manny:

I could be wrong. I thought Lula was like Chavez, but I also know they sent him to jail on trumped up charges.
They have similar ideologies (that goes for all of the Latin American "pink tide" leaders), but I think you deeply misunderstand their ideology, and Hugo Chavez's time as the president of Venezuela.

He wasn't like Chavez.

Lula is a leftist, but he didn't nationalize Brazil's resources the way Chavez did.

And also, as we know, Chavez wasn't a disaster for Venezuela. Chavez's issue was not diversifying Venezuela's economy away from oil, but was an overall positive for that nation.

Chavez's issue was the USA, WTO and IMF skull fukking his country because they felt entitled to Venezuela's oil. fukk the democratic process of a sovereign country if it gets in the way of neoliberal economic priorities

indeed

My point was the economy was solely dependent on oil. But Chavez nationalizing their oil industry was always right to me, and I hope more fossil fuel producing countries do it.

Brazil's Lula urges Obama to speed up Haiti aid

Clearly sending aid to a country devastated by earthquakes is a sinister act

Oh yes. They did a wonderful job.

Brazilian Troops, and MINUSTAH, Should Leave Haiti | HuffPost

But Brazil, like the United States, should start where it has the most influence: and currently that is Haiti, where Brazil heads up the UN military mission (MINUSTAH) that is occupying Haiti.

MINUSTAH has developed a reputation for brutality and human right violations. These include a raid on one of Haiti’s largest poor neighborhoods in July 2005 that left dozens of civilians killed or wounded.

Why should Brazil participate in denying Haitians’ basic human and democratic rights? And to add further injury, MINUSTAH has caused a cholera epidemic that has killed 2300 people and infected more than 100,000, most likely through gross criminal negligence of dumping human waste into the Artibonite river. Thousands of Hatians have taken to the streets to demand that they leave.

Dilma should listen to her base, and to the people of Haiti, who want MINUSTAH out. As the CUT stated, Brazil should “send doctors and engineers, not occupying troops.”

This. The risk was also there for Saudi Arabia and Nigeria at the time, but they navigated it through fourth-quarter reinvesting and international support.

How none of the major oil producing countries didn't freak out at that Vision 2030 energy diversity plan Saudi Arabia put out was already puzzling to me. That was the writing on the wall.
