  1. Is that also what happened in Vietnam?

    But i dont think she is talking abt a direct military conflict with the USA.

    A proxy war would do just fine. The United States lost 30k Men in korea and 50k in vietnam. Can the USA of today stomach these losses?

    Imagine the U.S. and Brazilian forces battling it out in the rain forest. Maybe we'll bring back nepalm. Definitely the most politically-incorrect war ever!

    Of course, that's all a joke, but the fact that most of the developed world doesn't like our QE isn't...

  4. In the largest study ever done about what the consequences of a full scale nuclear war might be.



    They estimated that 14,000 weapons would be used.



    That it would cause a nuclear winter that would last 3 years before the atmosphere cleared.



    That 40% of the worlds population would die from direct effects of the nuclear weapons, starvation or disease.



    That study was done at the height of the cold war, when the US and the Soviet union had over 30,000 nuclear weapons.

    this is just politics.

    brazil finally realized they were screwed by china... and now they are looking to blame the U.S. doh? Homer, you told me that we did not need the U.S. that we were part of the new third world super order?

    You mean we lost our export industries because china pegged to the dollar and undersold us? Our top socialist advisors said we should concentrate on making energy out of sugar and be friends with China....


    Now they tell me we should have pegged and matched China step for step... where are the advisors?

    SouthAmerica: If there's a major bubble in the international financial system that bubble is called: US dollar.

    There's an over supply of US dollars flying around the world.

    We have passed the saturation point and have reached the boiling point – now it is just a matter of time for some central banker to spook the herd and we have a massive stampede out of the US dollar.

    It looks like that China and Japan are the guys who will be holding the bag for the United States as they take a beating on their massive US dollar holdings.

    It will be also bad for many small countries around the world since the little foreign reserves that they have are in US dollars.

    The world is waking up to the fact that there's little future for the US economy and there's no justification whatsoever for the US dollar to continue to be the major foreign reserve currency around the world.

    In a Nutshell: The party is over!!!!!

    Now going back to some of the comments on this thread – Dilma was not predicting a war between Brazil vs. USA – she was talking about WW III and this time around such war would be even nastier than WW II and such war would engulf more countries than WW II.

    The United States government better place their calls to China to place an order for smart bombs ASAP – the only problem is who is going to finance this war for the United States?

    Maybe this time around the US can finance such war with Confetti (by printing more US dollars).

    A war between the United States and Brazil you can rule that one out, because Brazilians love to spend their vacation in Disney World in Florida.

    you keep think the exporting predator country with the peg is hurt by the u.s dollar going down.

    What you fail to see is that they were the manipulators who would have had many fewer dollars if their currency had not been manipulated.

    China is a predator and Brasil was the prey. Your export industries were the weak gazelles and now china is looking to thin your heard some more.

  10. Nukes would be detonated at altitude.
    The initial blast would be harmless but the radioactive rain would kill virtually all humans, animals and plants within two weeks.

    Brazil new president was once a guerrilla fighter.
    She could well become the new chavez.
    Like all leftists she's delirart of a war with the US.

    LOL. So true.
    Wine swiging? Why so classy?
    Try homemade liquor instead.
    You can also substitute mopeds for bicycles.

    Like good leftists they are always trying to blame somebody for their crappy social system.
