Will you trade Brazilian territory to end the war?

This war? No. A war of Brazil and someone else? It may prove necessary. We wouldn't want to do like paraguay and lose half our population due to stubborness

No I think Brazil should lead my example. Cede territory to Russia. Accept the boot. Peace at any price, right?

I never said peace at any price, i said negotiations are needed and that total victory or defeat aren't the only opitions and that you may need to conceed something to avoid excessive bloodshed, Brazil could have continued to conscript men and take more loans to buy weapons in order to not let Uruguay be independent, but we didn't, it simply wasnt worth it. Solano Lopes did it, he keept not surrendering untill he died, and that ruined his country untill this day, had he started negotiations after being pushed back into his land paraguay would be on much better shape going foward

So you agree that Russia should give up and respect the right of Ukraine to be independent. Too bad your government is neutral on a currently occuring colonial genocide.
