Well the Russian military is pretty strong and they can easily overwhelm most of their neighbours. I don't think their Nato membership alone is enough to protect them.
There was a Brazilian novela called "Caminho das Indias" in which Indian culture was portrayed by Brazilian actors. Some even looked lke INdians . This novela became really popular in Brazil.
I think he has an East Asian fetish. The other day he was talking about how RUssian women are the most beautiful because they are adored in East Asia and Brazilian women are not. For him, East Asians rule the world.
That's because of Oil. Even then, Russia has the worst infrastructure in the world. In corruption, Russia is worse than many African countries. Look at Transparency International rankings: Corruption Perceptions Index 2013 - Results

Don't feel like arguing anymore. One thing I will accept is that Chinese people are generally hard working and more ambitious than Brazilians. Our people are not concerned with things like projecting power or participating in the space race or anything else. We care more about superficial stuff...
