So it's unwise because Brazil has social problems? So reliance would be bad because it would be supporting those social problems? Is that your point?

- bilbo0s 19y agoNo. My point is that the chances of trade disruptions due to social unrest in Brazil is uncomfortably high. Further, the chances of trade disruptions due to ... 'demagogue comes along and tells the impoverished masses that they are being ripped off' ... is a virtual certainty in the presence of oil wealth. It is not the social problems that I take issue with, the Brazilians can run their nation as they see fit. It is the fact that these social problems have a high probability of developing into something that would adversely effect us if we were dependent on Brazil that I object to.
