>If you have internal problems best solution is to ignore it and invade someone
That doesn't work in South America, the Falklands War and the Paraguayan War come to mind.

>It's ironic that Mutts can't get out of everyones business to help themselves and blame others for all their problems, while Brazilians wont get into others business to help themselves and others and blame only themselves for all the problems like you exist in a vacuum.
Americans think too highy of themselves and their own country. We Brazilians, for the most part, have the exact opposite problem.
>It's not like having a few puppet states in Latin America would not improve Brazils living standards
"Puppeteering" another country cannot last. It's an unnatural relationship between countries. It wouldn't make ther lives better, meaning they would try to break free, and it wouldn't make ours meaningfully better either if we had to extort other nations. More meaningful conections are ones estabilished through strong economic ties, which we already have with our neighbors. Ideally, we'd work towards greater economic integration with them (MERCOSUL), while each government works at solving their own problems at home. There are two big issues with that thought, the fact that South American governments are largely incompetent at developing their own countries, and that most politicians on this continent can't think long term and have the most basic understanding of international politics possible, which is seeing the world thought a conflict of ideologies, meaning that they want to drop cooperation as soon as their neighbor elects someone they don't agree with on customs.

>And here I thought that it would be India who would have undermined the anti-kike coalition. Get it together, hues.
There is a argument to be made that out of the founding members (Brazil - Russia - India - China), we are the weakest link. Russia and India are, and have been for centuries, two of the world's foremost countries - millenia, even, in case of China. This makes it so they have a well defined, firmly estabilished tradition of long term planning on a national and international scale. If I may be brutally honest, even a random drunkard in Russia is likely to have a better understanding of international politics than the avarage Brazilian. This, I say with a heavy heart. India has their very recent colonial past to look on, which makes them naturally weary of foreign powers, even if the avarage Indian might not be able to say why they should refuse this or that purpose. Even South Africa, which was added later to the block, still remembers the Apartheid, and how the Americans supported the white regime, while the Russians, under the USSR, supported the party of Mandela, which would ultimately come out on top, even if they might have done it just out of pragmatism.
Brazil, in many regards, is very fortune. God, I like to think, has blessed us. We have no great natural disasters, no strong immediate neighbors to threaten us, a bountiful land that provides for us without much struggle. But this made it so that the avarage Brazilian is very much a product of that environment. We are a soft, merry people. Brazilian politicians seem to think we can fix the world with smiles and customised seleção shirts. This makes our people guillable to some of the simple trappings of international politics - thinking that the world is divided on an ideological scale of "this side is good, that side is evil", being incapable of long term planning, thinking that we will achieve greatness by attaching ourselves to a "savior", whether internal or external, etc.

>The Chinese government seems to run more or less the same way Imperial China was run.
This backs my "thesis" of different countries having different forms of government that better suits them. The CPC, when it first came to power, rose in opposition of everything that came before, but after being successful in taking ove, rebelions and revolutions often inherit the problems that made them rise up in the first place, besides inheriting the same country, with the same peoples, the same geography, etc. After a period of trying to forcefully bring about change, organized itself on such manner that isn't at war with traditional Chinese society, but in harmony with it. They went from tearing down temples to reforming them, from criticizing the "backwardness" of Ancient China to raising new statues of old historians and philosophers, from seeing themselves as the result of Chinese history to a continuation of it. So in the end they have something that's different, but familiar to how China was always run.

>Have you read the Hanfeizi
I'll add it to the list. These days, most of the reading I do is stuff like fiction and fantasy. My job involves reading and writing dozens of short, dry reports daily, so during my free time I like reading stuff that's distant from that.

>MilitaryBrwzilian, do you want a specific 4 set of logos?
I'm fine with you picking the ones you like. My only request is for pic related to be one of them.
