17. Lula
Did you know that Lula had never had a piece of bread or milk till he was 8 because his family were too poor to afford such " luxuries." Although he now wears Gucci (who wouldnt succumb to such tiny temptations) but he has not forgotten his past. He helped to create a steel union and was a pain in the ass of the steel industry till they finally succumbed. He has been trod on enough - there is enough america can do or say which will scare him.
By the way, Brazil has already taken the small jet market away from Boeng, offering a better and cheaper jet. They export car parts to (ready for this?) CHINA AND JAPAN!! So if America says no more imports he could care less. China is pouring billions into Brazil without conditions as the IMF and the yanks do.
If we dont wake up soon and realize we are no longer the rooster among the hens we are doomed to a quick demise, if we arent already.
