If the point was about trade with adversaries why include Brazil? Anyway the point is about taking a side in a WAR and then maintaining lucrative trade with the side in that war you're against. I don't think it's hard to understand the difference between that, and trading with countries you simply don't get along with all of the time, like China.
- uberman 2y agoMy apologies about Brazil, I was thinking of Venezuela. The USA took a side in the Russian war and yet still traded with Russia. They took a side against Iran and many other contemporary Adversaries yet still maintained trade or worse gave away aid even when they did not have formal diplomatic relationships. Europe is not "at war" with Russia, at least not yet and neither is the USA yet both maintained trade with Russia in the face of sanctions.
