Brésil - Défense : Celso Amorim prône une dissuasion régionale pour défendre les ressources naturelles .

Cela en devient lassant de le répeter mais pourtant les chefs politiques et militaires Sud-Américains ne cessent d'insister sur ce point .[ lien vers article ]

 Intervenant à l'amphitéatre de l' Escuela Militar de Chile devant plus de 600 participants , en majorité des militaires Chiliens , le MD Brésilien Celso Amorim a une fois de plus souligné la necessité de renforcer la coopération militaire régionale pour faire face à une éventuelle action prédatrice [ extra-continentale ] contre les ressources naturelles du continent .[ lien ]

" L'histoire nous enseigne que la possibilité que les actifs de notre région deviennent l'objet d'une compétition et de l'avidité internationale ne peut pas être rejettée , pour pacifiques que soient nos orientations politiques et pour tant que nous soyons ouverts au dialogue et à la négociation comme méthodes de résolution des conflits " . " Etre pacifique ne signifie pas être désarmé ! "

Correction: Jose Serra was the presidential candidate in the 2010 presidential election - not 2012 (there is no presidential election in Brazil in 2012. Next presidential election will be
in 2014).

Fernando Henrique Cardoso, President of Brazil 1995-2002 declared on March 23. 2012 at the Word Conference for Sustainable Development in Manaus: "Since we need energy to maintain a
certain level of development, there is no other way (jeito) - and there comes Belo Monte !" (Belo Monte Hydro-Electric Dam).  The opposition's presidential candidate in the 2012 presidential
election, Jose Serra, had also declared this support for the Belo Monte Dam: Of the 27 political parties in Brazil, 26 seem to support Belo Monte. Only the Partido Verde (Green Party) voiced some
opposition.  Its presidential candidate Marina da Silva finally only insisted in "compliance with the social enhancement provisions". Thus there is no POLITICAL opposition in Brazil, neither
from the right not the left. The opposition comes primarily from NGOs operated by the U.S., Britain, Netherlands, Scandinavia, Germany and the Vatican, as well as opportunists - such as the GLOBO
actors who all want to be noticed by talent agents in Hollywood.

The "dissuasive capacity" is a constant admonition of Brazil's contemporary Itamaraty and Brazil's national security community. The previous Minister of Defense, Nelson Jobim (a
conservsative), had  that already adamantly explained to everybody concerned: NATO and UNASUR members. Jobim rang the alarm bells after the NATO conference in Lisbon, Sept. 2010 during which
NATO revealed its future interests in "expanded responsiblities" (the new term for "intervention to assure our control"!). The primary agency to push the NATO agenda in South America - is
Germany's "Konrad Adenauer Stiftung" operated by the CDU party. The U.S. , Britain, use Germany as the current primary agent to penetrate Latin America, because Germany is less conspicious and
arouses less attention.  In Nov. 2010, a former NATO strategist, the german General Klaus Naumann spoke at the "Fundacao Konrad Adenauer" in Brazil and explained: "The U.S. needs Europe as
partners for its role in the world!" Jobim replied: "We are not partners of the U.S. for its role in the world. Only South Americans are responsible for the defense of our subcontinent, and we
need a dissuasive capacity against threats from outside our region!" Nelson again spoke at the LADD exibition in April 2011 to other south-american military leaders: "Our region will be threated
over our resources during the next 50 years: We need a dissuasive capacity against threats from outside our region!".  (A wikileak revealed, that argentine diplomats worried in conversations
with U.S. diplomats, in 2008, that Brazil might be considering cancelling its adherence to the Nuclear Weapons Non-Proliferation Treaty.)  Brazil is now refining nuclear material to 20% -
only enough to fuel the nuclear-powered submarines to be constructed in Brazil with the technical assistance of France.

Hello Jans ,


I have noticed that more and more Latino-Americans are preoccupated with this issue in a way people in Europe ignore . A few years ago , let's say 2006 , only left-wing and less educated people (
but left-wing educated people also ) were " afraid " of an intervention for the control of the natural ressources of South-America . Now , people from all the political spectrum and
education levels  are more and more thinking about this . I think that the phenomenon accelerated after the agression against Libya . I have noticed that Celso Amorim has " put Jobim's
boots on  " on this issue and its a good thing : It means it's a state policy and not a governemental policy . Some European " analysts " said that Jobim's declaration was linked to the
Presidential campaign in Brazil , in order to convince the left wing electorate to sustain Dilma , but i was among those who didn't think so .


Abraços
