Brazil and Venezuela : Super South American Defense Team

Brazilian Defense Minister Nelson Jobim met with Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez in Caracas Monday and among the topics discussed was the creation of a South American defense council to mediate regional conflicts and defend South America from foreign intervention.

“We are going to make it so that the strength of South America is born of the union of our peoples,” the minister told the press Monday evening.
“It is impossible to talk about problems in isolated form; we should resolve the problems in conjunction and in unity," Jobim articulated, assuring that any problem affecting one South American country affects the whole region.

The defense council would promote joint military trainings and defense bases, and “military industrial integration” in order to “ensure the supply of the necessary elements for defense,” the minister clarified.
This is probably exact what the U.S. government is afraid of.
