Brazil is 100 percent energy self-sufficient, and if the entire Middle East goes up in flames - that would not affect the Brazilian economy as the Middle East event would affect the economy of other countries.
Brazil has all the resources that it needs for economic development, as a matter of fact Brazil is rich in just about everything that you can imagine, there are only 2 other countries in the world that has all the resources that they need to be 100 percent self-sufficient such as Brazil - the 2 countries are: Canada and Russia.

âThe Time Is Now for Brazil to Build a Strong Military! Just Hire Laid-off NASA Scientistsâ

Quoting from the above article:
World Population
2,011 AD...........7,000 million or 7.0 billion people (As of October 2011)
2,023 AD...........8,000 million or 8.0 billion people (Estimate)
2,034 AD...........9,000 million or 9.0 billion people (Estimate)
China and Russia are changing their population policies which will result in faster population growth in the coming years â we probably will reach 8 and 9 billion people living on our planet much faster than they had estimated over the last few years.
The Northern Hemisphere is the part of the Earth that lies north of the equator, and the Southern Hemisphere is the part of the Earth that lies south of the equator. Out of the 7 billion people who live on our planet today only 10 percent of the total population (about 700 million people) live in the Southern Hemisphere, and 90 percent of the global population live in the Northern Hemisphere (about 6.3 billion people).
And as the Earth population grows very quickly from 7 billion to 9 billion people by 2034, most of this population growth is going to happen in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the first part of the 21st century we will have a fierce competition among the major nations of the world when they reach around the globe in their efforts to acquire the scarce natural resources which are necessary to feed the constant economic growth of their economies.
The âperfect stormâ is ahead of us which includes a continued population explosion from 7 billion to 9 billion people, a fierce fight to secure scarce natural resources around the world, a re-structuring of the global economic and financial system to reflect the new economic realities of the 21st century, and as part of this adjustment, it will include the usual economic and currency wars that are already underway.
