What could possibly go wrong?
Oh, right…
Hey, good thing Barack Obama has promised Brazil that we’re going to be one of their “best customers” when it comes to offshore oil exploitation, huh? Rather than utilize our resources at home, we can help an Iranian ally and socialist-led country build nuclear submarines.
By the way, that gentlemen up there (the one on the right) is former Brazilian president Luiz InĂ¡cio Lula da Silva. He has since been replaced by Dilma Rousseff, another member of the Worker’s Party. The “Worker’s Party” is exactly as it sounds: Socialist and proud of it.
So that’s who we’re going to help finance a nuclear program. A socialist-led country with friendly ties to Iran — an Islamist country seeking to destroy Israel and basically run the Middle East. Good thing we’re not drilling here at home, huh? We really dodged a tough one there.
