Brazil threatens withdrawal from NPT


Note:
Russia To Assist Brazil With Rebuilding Launch Site

Brazil can launch ICBM’s and they are close to developing nuclear weapons, or ICBM’s with nuclear warheads.

Consider this: "Brazil is going to be the first ever nuclear weapon state (NWS) in the Southern Hemisphere by 2010." The fear of Theodore Taylor, an American physicist and expert on nuclear weapons during the 1970s would be true, if Brazil produces the bomb.

The BRIC alliance (Brazil, Russia, India and China) apparently includes the SCO (Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and China, with Iran, India and Pakistan receiving observer status)

On 10 November 2004, the India Daily reported that, "Russian President Putin is taking a lead role in the most powerful coalition of regional and superpowers in the world. The coalition consists of India, China, Russia and Brazil. This will challenge the superpower supremacy of America." … "He [Putin] wants to establish a long-term Russian footprint in Latin America in order to expand Moscow's geopolitical influence in the region. Brazil is very open to the coalition concept where these large countries support each other in term of trade, economics, international politics and defense."

Brazil, South Africa Protest India’s N-status


3 August 2005: Brazil and South Africa have told the US state department that if India is accommodated as a nuclear weapons state, then some of the NPT members would like to withdraw unilaterally, which would further weaken the non-proliferation initiative.

The two states petitioned the United States together, which is unlikely to change its position in respect of India, and they have now threatened to convince the Nuclear Suppliers Group that their own decisions to denuclearise were specific to a time and a set of circumstances which do not prevail now.

Both to the US and NSG members, the two countries have protested that their “good decision” to abandon their weapons programme has made them “losers”, and they would review their decision if it enhances their international stature.

To a pointed question if they wanted to go nuclear again, both Brazil and South Africa said no, and diplomats said it is the aftershock of losing the race for permanent seats in the UN Security Council, but they clarified that the US was unlikely to go back on the position taken on India, declaring it a de facto nuclear weapons’ state.
