      All the BRICS have. Brazil just stands out, because its not a country we’ve flagged as “Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages”.

        It also helps that unlike the R and the C in BRICS, they aren’t imperialists threatening and/or invading their neighbours. Brazil is a good world citizen.

          Uhhh, did you forget that Brazil was being run by a fascist war criminal just a short while ago?

            So were lots of countries. At least they learned from their mistake, unlike the US.

              If Brazil had learned from it’s mistake it WOULDN’T HAVE ALLOWED A FASCIST INTO POWER, genius.

                I meant it in the “fool me once” sense. Americans went for a second helping at the trough of fascism.

                  The US has been pro-fascist long, long before Mussolini gave it a name.
