Financial marriage between China and the U.S. on the rocks

Benny had it right, you can't have both perfect safety and perfect freedom. You can have relative degrees of each, but the more safety the less freedom. The US has already become more like the old Soviet union than anyone would care to admit. If you want freedom, go to South America, you'll be less safe but a lot freer. If you want safety, go to the US. You'll be safer but with a lot more "red" tape, government interference, and a plethora of laws to follow. Or just go to Canada and have a reasonable balance.

This is why I have been saying for a long time that Brazil should wake up, and Brazil needs to develop nuclear weapons to be able to defend itself from any other country that decides to mess around with Brazil.

Brazil should also enter this arms race in South America, and it should start developing nuclear weapons ASAP.

And the mad man's true nature ....
 
I think, in the actual uncertain economic situation, it would be wise to be very carefully at the moment of dealing with big and small companies all over the world. I've recently found an interesting web-site where the enterprises rank each other according to their liability, respect for payment death lines, and so on.
Is: www.company-info.biz
The site is pretty new, but I think it would become very useful to be part of it. :cool:

So true... And the best protection of brazil is it's beautiful woman... No one sane could think about a war in brazil, how could you manage your soldier in such a paradise ;) ?

Seriously I have the deep feeling that the Us will never pay it's debt. When the debitor has the most weapon in the world... it's hard for someone to ask for his money !

SouthAmerica: But the credit supplier can cut the current and future credit lines.

Only fools would continue to accumulate tons of Confetti - sky high.

What a long way... discovering the Golden Age, the Peace Concept, the Golden Rules, and most important how to use them...

Without you guys, I could never had a single chance of achieving it. It's exactly like in the Market, by moving a little share at a time we reached more than we could have ever hoped...

Furthermore, I will not be able to Peace out every post that I did here... What's important is the WAY to reach, the Errors, the Errors who weren't errors...

So may PEACE be upon you and me !

SouthAmerica: I wonder if the United States government has asked permission from the Chinese government to follow up with this plan, since China is the country that would be financing another U.S. misadventure - this time in South America.

Before you know the U.S. will turn Colombia into another Vietnam.

Why should China finance this new American misadventure into South America considering that South America is becoming a major trading partner of China?

South Americans don’t want any American military bases in South America.

This is why I have been saying for a long time that Brazil should wake up, and Brazil needs to develop nuclear weapons to be able to defend itself from any other country that decides to mess around with Brazil.

Brazil should also enter this arms race in South America, and it should start developing nuclear weapons ASAP.

“Uproar over plans for US bases in Colombia”
By: TOM HENNIGAN in São Paulo
The Irish Times (Ireland)

A PLAN by Colombia to allow the US up to seven military bases on its territory has caused uproar in South America, prompting Colombia’s president, Álvaro Uribe, to undertake a tour through the region to try and reassure neighbours anxious about the move.

Colombian and US negotiators are close to finalising a deal that would give the US three air bases, two military bases, and two naval bases, one each on Colombia’s Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Colombian officials say the bases would count on a light US military presence that would aid them in their operations against the country’s drug traffickers.

Colombia is the world’s biggest producer of cocaine, which has fuelled a decades-long insurgency by left-wing guerrillas.

Leading the opposition to the deal is Venezuela’s left-wing president Hugo Chávez. “They are surrounding Venezuela with military bases,” he said in a televised speech Wednesday.

He said the deal would turn Colombia “into an imperialist base of operations from which Venezuelan sovereignty is threatened”. He announced a full review of relations with its neighbour and said he would buy “several battalions of tanks” from Russia.

Last week Chávez recalled his country’s ambassador in Bogotá after the government there accused Venezuela of supplying arms to the Farc, Colombia’s largest guerrilla group. Venezuela denied the charge.

Even Chile and Brazil, who both have good relations with Colombia and the US, have expressed deep unease about the proposed deal.

After stops in Chile, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay, Mr Uribe was to meet Brazil’s President Lula yesterday in a bid to address Brazilian concerns over the bases.

Brazil’s foreign minister Celso Amorim said at the weekend the country was worried about the proposal as it provided for “a strong military presence whose objective and capacity go much further than Colombia’s internal needs”.

Colombia, the US’s closest ally in the region, has received more than $6 billion in aid from the US since 2000 as part of the anti-drug programme. It has used the cash to beef up its military, which has scored important military victories against the Farc in recent years. But while cocaine production has dropped in Colombia, a recent UN report said traffickers had made up the shortfall by expanding production in neighbouring Peru and Bolivia.

While ostensibly part of Washington’s “war on drugs”, the two naval bases in particular will also give the US a renewed military presence close to the Panama canal, the vital trade artery from which the US military was forced to withdraw in 1999, following the non-renewal of its lease by the Panamanian government.

The deal will also come as the US is winding down its only military base on the continent – Manta in Ecuador. The country’s left-wing president, Rafael Correa, refused to renew its lease and is one of the most strident opponents of Colombia’s plan to provide the US with facilities across the border.
