After Brazil’s BRICS block, Venezuela escalates diplomatic crisis

5 comments

1. Since its attempt to join BRICS was vetoed by Brazil at the latest summit of the trading bloc in Kazan, Russia last week, Venezuela’s government has launched a series of provocations against its South American neighbor, including calling back its ambassador in Brasília on Wednesday.

   So far, however, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro – who attended the summit last week – has not spoken out directly against his Brazilian counterpart, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva – who was unable to attend because of a recent injury, and sent his Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira instead.

2. Hmm well considering Venezuela now totally owns what is it? 2/3rds of Guyana? I think Brazil should look out for 2/3rds of their territory being annexed soon!

3. Further antagonising the one administration in South America who’s actually somewhat cordial towards you is certainly a strategy

4. Venezuela doesn’t seem to understand that Brazil will not give unconditional support to them just to support “the fight against US imperialism “

5. As far as I’m aware, Brazil hasn’t given any justification on why they vetoed Venezuela’s entry to BRICS. This doesn’t make any sense. A 3rd world Global south nation wanting to join an economic block should be a non issue
