As Brazil has not done anything to Bolivia when their government decided to take over one of the gas plants we build in their country. This type of things can be negotiated with the need of hard actions. I don’t think Brazil is trying to take advantage of Uruguay and neither would Uruguay do anything to hurt Brazil.

So this "gesture" doesn't look as such to me. BIG FISH EATS SMALL FISH!!

My spirits have just lifted so much to know that we have countries on the earth beginning to awaken to and change the fact that, "The world is drinking from a cup no one wants to share." This should be all over world headlines to share the value of helping fellow humans as friends and not strangers. I'm so grateful for Uruguay and Brazil in their example for the world! Wow, I thought this world was going to hell but this is very inspiring and I'm sure Uruguay and Brazil feel mutually great in their new shared love of life. GOD BLESS THE WORLD! PEACE! This is great!
