cogent comment re: why Brazil? What does she have that Russia Wants? Just their wheat, orange juice and soybeans, et al...all carefully nurtured by Cargill over the last 30 years. Brazil's ideal crop growing weather is the flipside of the "Bread Basket of the World's" growing season/weather. Me thinks the ruskies are hungry, and so are their peeps, and their peeps oxen, and donkeys, and equine and bovine, and... Cargill removed bazillion of rainforest flora to create a foodstuffs space "down there." Why? Primarily to break the back of the decent prices US farmers were holding Cargill up for inside the US, such as "beans in the teens" and "$5 wheat." This was all done back when I was a commodity rep for a Chicago firm some 30 years ago. Carry on, Doc Jis thot I'd toss in a piece of your think tank puzzle...now that Santi has quit stealing Sinclair's material and presenting it as his own thoughts<g>
