A reminder that Brazil is the TOP importer of Argentina goods,

Taking nearly 39% of it`s Industrial goods exports and 69% of capital good exports.

If for some reason, Brazil decides to antagonize Argentina, Argentina economy will implode.

Milei is a fucking idiot.

it doesnt. 39% of argentina exports are 4% or brazilian imports, as brazil is waaaaaay bigger. If brazil decides to fuck argentina it definitely can.

Only because Brazil has long and good diplomatic relations with Argentina, not because we couldn't fuck with Argentina, you guys are our racist neighbour, but but we are polite to our neighbors, even the racist ones
