Controversial General Political Discussion

[NAMELESS]

canada could likely deal with it on it's owm, would likely become a shared issue cause canada and america share the same land and waterways
not like by ownership but by geography right

you think the us would be fine with russia going into their continent and attacking the country right next to them, like who do they think would be next target if canada is taken down

it's better odds at winning if the american nations defend their land from russian invaders

Well,since Canada is a NATO member.That hypothetical scenario would automatically mean war with the US and Europe.

Yea and that would be bad news for russia so the likelihood of the war affecting any of us in the americas is low

 

[NAMELESS]

me and nameless are on an entirely different continent
why should we risk war with russia when it has no benefit to us or our people

Not saying russia is doing right by hurting ukrainian people but involving other countries in this war will make the death toll higher not lower

There are lot of Brazilians fighting in Ukraine as volunteers,most people perceive Russia as the aggressor. We just can't afford the luxury to spoil our economic relationship with an important trade partner like Russia.

That would make sense

it's not likely that some north american country would take replacement for trade role too right??

And even if possible, that would still be a negative in terms of resources cause your losing out on what russia may provide to you

Overall we have good relations with NATO and North America.The only nations we can consider antagonistic to us are Colombia,Venezuela and France.

So brazil has trade partners in north america???

If that is so
why the need for russia as a trade partner?

We depend on their fertilizers for our agricultural business to work.Brazilian economy is way too reliant on agriculture.We should Industrialize for real,but there quite a few barriers to this here.

We do trade some stuff with America/EU,but not everything.Russia is an important supplier of fertilizers.

Bureaucracy and external influence to keep us selling bananas forever.Too much legislation,taxes,our geography is fucked up,there is political pressure influence coming from foreign nations and loads of other problems derived from Culture/Education.Most Brazilians want to work for the state instead of becoming businessman for example.

 

[Bob74h]

s,our geography is fucked up,

how so??



Your in the same continent as some of the richest countries and would be pretty hot area right


and border on the atlantic
meaning, easy access to the ocean for fishing or whatever else

.Most Brazilians want to work for the state instead of becoming businessman for example.

is it just cheaper or easier
Is that the reason for that

off topic but love the black lagoon pfp

d loads of other problems derived from Culture/Education.

such as

 

[NAMELESS]

Because it shows where you morals are

Hey we are aware Russia is currently bombing the shit out of Ukrainian civilians, sad thing we know, but the trade man....

You really want to talk about morals here?Have you seem what France does in Africa?What about all the instability the USA has caused in the middle east?You guys are no better than Russia and China.You just have solid democracies and more freedoms,but your political elites are fucked up too.

 

[Bob74h]

.You just have solid democracies

democracy is a sham

it's just reelecting the same rich corrupt families over and over again at least in practice


and democracy is just mob rule, in it's purest form

such as

Brazil:50% of the territory is uninhabitable dense rain forest.Hills and Mountains everywhere,dry land to the northeast.The soil in central region is acidic so we need the proper chemicals to make good use of it.Climate is hot and humid for the most part of the year in most of the country.Insects,tropicals diseases and so on...The only tropical nation that is developed is Taiwan,the rest are poor.

such as

Brazil doesnt explore its own resources the way it should due to political pressure coming from abroad.Just search up the entire Amazon deal.The French keep claiming the Amazon Forest should be international territory.

Not cheaper,its hard to become a public servant here,but you will never go unemployed if you do.
Educational/Cultural problems:since the colonial period Brazilians have pretty poor education,back when we were at war with Paraguai 90% of the population couldn't read.This has improved over time of course,but there are still people here that can't even read in fucking 2023.The education system in general is pretty shitty overall too.The biggest reason we are poor is because of draconian legislation.The gov taxes everything(and i mean everything),the cost of living here is artificially high thnx to these policies.On top of that,get ready to have 1/3 of your income axed when you start earning a certain amount.There are many monopolies here too.Gov adopts protectionist policies,which makes foreign investors and businessman to shy away from here.So industrialization here happens in a very slow pace.Judicial instability:laws here change all the time from night to day.New president here means new legislation pretty much.Lula axed most of the things Bolsonaro did for example.I wont even mention the security problems.Despite all of that we are still a big ass economy,we can be developed one of these days.I just dont believe i will see this in my life time.
edit:cultural marxism is a big deal here too.Most politicians and high class citizens flirt with socialism/communism.You guys know where this leads.
