The Republic of Great Britain is currently going through a difficult period and we must all stand firm by it to ensure that order is regained and Britain continues its vital role on the international level. It is most despicable to strike an enemy when he is down. However, it is an abominable, ignominious and most wretched thing to strike a friend when he needs you most, to drive the subtle, treacherous knife into them while their back is turned. We truly hope that this recent Brazilian rhetoric is nothing but words and that they will not follow up with military action. We have…great respect…for Brazil as a nation of peace and hope in an American continent torn apart by war and destruction, and it would be most dispiriting to see this…great upholder of peace turn away from its principles and allow hypocrisy, greed and war to taint it’s…as of yet untarnished…reputation.
