Obama gave $2 billion to Brazil for energy exploration at the same he stopped drilling in the Gulf of Mexico (where China and Cuba are drilling).
As an American you don't see the startegic signficance of this action (Brazil investment)? Oh I forgot, a lot of you do not have passports...
You Americans should know that you're neighbors to the South have some of the World's most important natural resources and they even have some of the World's biggest oil reserves (just ask China). These countries do not deserve US' lack of attention.

Nothing to rave about actually in terms of dollars. But the buy I think is significant as a symbolic gesture. This is the most significant aquisition (or bound to be) for the US military on Brazilian weapons.
Well, in future I will confine my posts to technical military topics only, to avoid entanglements with you global strategy geniuses on DFI. It's like being pecked to death by ducks otherwise.
Well, even in purely military topics your seriously undiplomatic outburst has no place in this forum. Just point the matters that you most disagree with from other member's post, you can be forceful but not outrightly disrespectful.
It is something like an A-10 replacement. At first the orders could have been over 100, but the Americans downgraded it to just 15. So, gotta see what happens next. It's a pretty good aircraft, perhaps even we can go for such an aircraft for Army requirements.
I stand by what I said to you in the exact manner I said it. Arrogant and insulting people like you do not deserve respect. You think you have the right to attack me personally because of my flag. Where did you learn your manners? I will leave the last word to you, because the need to have the last word is characteristic of people like you who infest DFI with their tedious litany of what Americans have done and what Americans should do.
