I was shocked by Mr. Alexander's statement, not only that he requested that Spain watch over South America, but he flat out told me that South America, my landmass, was going to be used by some child for war. The European nations would like to see our lands burned and destroyed rather than build up and be as powerful as the nations in Europe. This makes me sick and I feel like I was backstab by countries, that I thought to be my friends. Russia wants to spy on me, a nation of peace, and other countries want to use the landmass as a zone of war and death. You know what, [b]I have decided to cancel all trade with Europe and will never trade with them again until further notice. I also want to tell Sweden to cancel the trade agreement, that we came up with a year ago[/b].

I have no fear of any European nations, that are willing to attack any South American nations. [b]I also want Argentina and Colombia to come to the Conference of Rio de Janeiro to talk about the current events that happen today[/b]. I feel a little better for cutting off one of my legs, but it'll be replaced by something even better. And as they say it in Portuguese:

[i]Traga suas armas mais poderosas do mundo, mas você nunca vai quebrar os espíritos de um brasileiro, defendendo sua terra.[/i].

[i]~ Emperor Pedro II, King of Brazil[/i].
