@speechboy71 Sure. But if the US is--bc it, unlike any other nation--can conduct more aggressive financial spying, that's a problem.
@speechboy71 Bc you're saying postponing dinner hurts Brazil. Maybe Dilma is playing this completely right?

@emptywheel Dilma wouldn't be the first leader to put her political interest ahead of the country's -
@speechboy71 Again ,you're suggesting this is bad for Brazil. Based on what? -
@emptywheel Based on having frayed relations with the US and potentially undercutting econ & trade agreements -
@speechboy71 Again, that is your opinion. I can see MANY ways how a delay helps her. We're weaker then we have been in a while. Why rush? -
@emptywheel And yet none of this would have happened w/o the NSA revelations. -
@speechboy71 Right. The BRICS wouldn't have just scored a big blow against the US in Syria w/o Snowden. -
@emptywheel A big blow? Hmm, ok. -
@speechboy71 Well, they think so. Perhaps they're wrong. But if they're right, then it DEFINITELY serves Dilma to wait.
