Hey, I have no doubt we're losing influence too, but that's not such a great article.
Most of it is mere speculation, and it matters not whether or not we deal with raw materials.
It's just not our priority today.
Nobody gives a shit about Hugo Chavez.
Nothing wrong with a 'passive strategy'
If anything I wish the US would devote more resources in improving the economy, rather than instigating international bullshit.
Also the bias of the writer is clearly in favor of Brazil and anti-American.
Personally I have very little faith any the future of most Latin American countries.
Historically they've been notorious for economic and political instability
(whether or not you blame the US is another matter entirely).
I could seriously care less about Brazil.
Now India, Eastern Europe, Russia is almost guaranteed to do great.
China I don't have an optimistic outlook for.
Their government hasn't been so good for business lately.
Labor costs are soaring, and trade quotas from the US don't help either.
