You're advocating recolonization. Good!! Message 16087481 It is one of the ideas Elmat defends here: One is mass migration to the developed world another is recolonization. Brazil - Peru? It is not possible to change the map of the Western Hemisphere. The Rio Treaty prevents that. The US can't take even Cuba!!! Maximum they can do is a Panama or Grenada, anything bigger than that it is beyond their reach. But We could get a Venezuela, which has oil rather than Peru which only make the jungle bigger and an sea port to Pacific Ocean. We would even help the Argentines get the Malvinas from the British so that they will not be thinking they'd be next.

by robbery, I mean to get something for nothing and it is against the host's will. This is the case for all the imperialist robbery happened in China bet. mid-19th century to mid-20th century. As for China to Myanmar, or to Sudan, NO, they are not robbery! China gives thousands of dollars to those countries, as well as a lot of other African countries, and in exchange may get some of their natural resources. And all these have been done under the peaceful negotiation of BOTH sides of govs. without any coerciveness from neither side. And if you insist on this is "robbery", then I guess you give robbery a whole new meaning<g>
