SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION; BRAZILIAN FOREIGN POLICY; RUSSIA; 
US-ARGENTINE BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP; 06/07/07 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Major international opinion pieces discuss Brazil's "realistic" 
foreign policy; Russia's authoritarian style of government; and 
prospects for the US-Argentine bilateral relationship. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "Venezuela is involved in Brazil's strategic game" 
 
Leading "Clarin" carries an op-ed piece by Fabian Calle, professor 
of International Relations, Universidad Di Tella-UCA, who writes 
(06/07) "According to realistic international principles, the 
countries having the largest capabilities and/or playing an 
important role in the strategic agendas of major powers have greater 
margins to maneuver to enforce double standards in their foreign 
policies while taking actions and issuing statements that could 
impose high costs on other countries. 
 
"This long standing warning becomes a useful tool in analyzing the 
relationship between the Argentine and Brazilian governments and 
Venezuela's Bolivarian government and also in observing the latest 
disputes between Caracas and Brasilia. 
 
"... The current conventional knowledge about an idyllic 
relationship between Brazil and the US, which includes alleged 
irreversible tension between Lula and Chavez, is far from reflecting 
the complexities of the reality. 
 
"... Perhaps a positive step in bridging the gap between facts and 
perceptions is the recent article by Mark Falcoff, renowned expert 
from the G.O.P., warning about how mistaken it is to view Argentina 
as a country substantially influenced by Chavez. 
 
"Just as mistaken as this, would be not to notice Brazil's 
interesting strategic game which consists of using Venezuela to put 
a brake on the US, while taking advantage of its ties to the 
superpower to keep Chavez and his petro-dollars at bay." 
 
- "Russia and human rights" 
 
Daily-of-record "La Nacion" editorializes (06/07) "The Russian 
Federation's ties to the Western countries is going through a 
difficult time, so much so that the country's internal situation is 
perhaps the weakest since Cold War times. 
 
"On the one hand, there is the tension triggered by the unresolved 
issue of the gas supply to the EU. On the other hand, we find 
serious problems in bilateral ties to nations once behind the Iron 
Curtain, such as Poland, Georgia, Estonia and Lithuania. To this, 
one should add the threats to and spats with the US due to the 
deployment of an antimissile shield in Europe, this being a 
consequence of the concern sparked by Iran's military power and its 
disturbing nuclear program... 
 
"But, probably, what most concerns the international community is 
the Russian Government's authoritarianism, - the persecution of and 
restrictions imposed on political opponents, the pressure on 
journalists and their lack of safety, the direct or indirect control 
of mass media, and the subsequent restriction on freedom of 
expression, and recently the harassment of NGOs devoted to 
protecting human rights and civil and political freedoms. 
 
"... Nothing of all this should be silenced. Otherwise, things will 
continue as they are now, which increasingly distances the Russian 
Federation from the essential foundations of democracy." 
 
- "Neither a carnal nor a conflictive relationship" 
 
Luis Rosales, political consultant and head of FURP (Fundacion 
Universitaria del Rio de la Plata), opines (06/07) "... In political 
and strategic terms, the US-Argentine relationship, while cordial 
and respectful, has never been optimal. 
 
"... The decade of a 'carnal' relationship with the US proved that 
this road did not lead to major results other than Argentina's 
designation as a major, non-NATO ally and an increase in the meat 
quota sold - an disproportionate concession in exchange for a small 
benefit, which vanished when the conservative Bush administration 
removed its support during the agonizing conclusion of the 
convertibility system. 
 
"The other extreme, a tense and distant relationship, does not seem 
a smart option either. Only countries like Venezuela, which is 
submerged in a sea of oil, can disregard the White House without 
fearing the consequences of retaliation. 
 
"The road to be followed is that of the most advanced democracies in 
the world - a relationship of mutual respect and convenience. Every 
issue is independently treated without any automatic alignment. For 
example, the global war on terrorism unites all civilized 
democracies while the ways to handle this issue can vary... 
 
"The challenge is making an agenda that serves both sides and that 
includes issues that will let Argentina negotiate with a little more 
power in defending its interests... Now that there will be a 
political change in the two countries, there is an interesting 
opportunity to reshape the bilateral relationship. If two women end 
up ruling the countries..., perhaps gender solidarity will 
contribute to understanding. However, even if the presidents 
continue being men, they will have to seek a middle ground between 
the useless promiscuity of a 'carnal' relationship and the also 
useless tension of constant clashes."
