Latin America is importing technical expertise and competence, something that is in short supply in that area. Not much more than that. We don’t have to worry about Swiss Troops in Brazil and I’m glad that it is the Germans and not Chinese that are doing this.

The American transcontinental railroad was complete in 1869. Pity it took so long for Latin America to catch up but better late than never.

Didn’t they try something like this back in the 1970s called the Trans-Amazon highway? I read the jungle won.
