The Trump of the tropics was not happy. Joe Biden had to attack Bolsonaro to appease his radical environmentalist voters. This is what Biden’s foreign policy will look like. Align with China, Iran, and Cuba, and abandon American allies such as Brazil and Israel.
Brazil president says Biden’s Amazon comments ‘disastrous’

‘What a Shame!’ Bolsonaro Calls out ‘Coward’ Joe Biden for Debate Attack on Brazil
By Breitbart, September 30, 2020
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro issued an outraged statement Wednesday morning in response to Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden threatening to wage economic war on his country during the presidential debate the night before, exclaiming, “what a shame!”
Bolsonaro wrote in his statement, published in English on Twitter, that he found Biden’s broadside against the nation of Brazil – a traditional U.S. ally with few international conflicts – “unnecessary” and “difficult to understand.” The president accused Biden of trying to “bribe” him with foreign aid and belying “greed” in exploiting Amazonian natural resources.
Biden made his threat during a segment on environmental preservation; the debate did not feature any formal discussion on foreign policy.
“Brazil, the rainforests of Brazil are being torn down, are being ripped down. More carbon is absorbed in that rainforest than every bit of carbon that’s emitted in the United States,” Biden said during the debate on Tuesday. “Instead of doing something about that, I would be gathering up and making sure we had the countries of the world coming up with $20 billion, and say, ‘Here’s $20 billion. Stop, stop tearing down the forest. And If you don’t, then you’re going to have significant economic consequences.’”
Moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News had not mentioned Brazil or asked any questions regarding U.S.-Brazil relations. Biden did not explain where the $20 billion number came from or what sort of “significant economic consequences” Brazil would suffer if it did not “stop tearing down the forest.”
“The Democratic candidate to the US presidency, Joe Biden, stated yesterday that he could pay us as much as US$20 billion to stop the ‘destruction’ of the Amazon Rainforest adding that, if we did not accept this offer, he would then impose serious economic sanctions on our country,” Bolsonaro wrote on Wednesday. “What some have not yet understood is that Brazil has changed. Its President, unlike the left-wing presidents of the past, does not accept bribes, criminal land demarcations, or coward threats towards our territorial and economic integrity. OUR SOVEREIGNTY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.”
Bolsonaro appeared to be referring to his socialist predecessor Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, convicted of using millions in taxpayers’ dollars to buy a luxury beachfront property. President Barack Obama, under whom Biden served, once called him the “most popular politician on earth,” a claim in part corroborated by the fact that Lula topped presidential polls in 2018 despite being a convicted felon (authorities prevented Lula from getting on the ballot from prison; Bolsonaro won the election).
Lula, still a public figure in Brazil, has regularly condemned Bolsonaro for strengthening Brazil’s ties to the United States and questioned Trump’s mental health.
Bolsonaro denied that his administration was damaging the Amazon Rainforest and asserted Brasilia had put “forward unprecedented action to protect the Amazon.” He added that, despite his objection to Biden’s remarks, his administration was open to cooperation with the United States on sustainable development and that, in fact, Bolsonaro and Trump are currently engaging in talks to expand said cooperation.

One yr ago I decided to give up my past work and I am very delightful now…. I began doing work on the web, for a provider I noticed over the internet, for several hrs each day, and I obtain way more than I did on my office job… previous calendar month was 9,000 bucks… The best thing regarding this is the additional time I obtained for my little kids…and that the only requirement for this task is simple typing as well as accessibility to internet… I am capable to put in quality time with my loved ones or buddies and also look after my children as well as going on vacation with them really frequently. Don’t ignore this opportunity and make sure to take action fast. See, what it’s about… BAY25.COM

You must be good working flat on your back. How often do you get tested for STDs? Have you had an HIV test recently, as in yesterday?
What do the children say or ask with all the “Uncle John” visitors coming in to “visit” mommy at all hours of the day and night? How come all the uncles have the name “John”, the children wonder.
At least you get to meet some very important people, such as Hunter Biden, a regular Uncle John to your place. Does he tip? Just remember, he doesn’t pay child support, so take precautions.
Notice how Hunter visits have increased the police presence on your street? If you haven’t, its the two vans parked across the street every time he shows up. You may need an expensive lawyer, and Hunter/Uncle John is not going to put up a dime for your defence, so be prepared for a door busting good time! Who will be taking care of the children when you are finally incarcerated? Uncle John?

Man is custodian of nature and is supposed to preserve it for future generations. He is not supposed to destroy nature for short term gains. For once JB is talking sense about this, where you are spouting nonsense as is illustrated by your examples of sea urchins and polar bears which are part of the ecology BTW. It has been shown scientifically that destroying one section of the food chain has disastrous results on the rest. Your resort to Greek myth as a support for your argument is also fatuous. The planet is drowning in plastic waste and the very life of the oceans is imperiled which is the main source of our oxygen
