Excerpts of the article from an international relations professor at the University Di Tella (Argentina), Fabian C. ALLE

1. Something begins to change in relations between the U.S. and Brazil, over two months and the more recent events such as Obama to lose election and the effect WikiLeaks. This will confirm a greater degree of caution in relations between the U.S. and Brazil.

2. This new perception on scope of analysis and the U.S. decision has as one of the strongest reflections the document entitled "Dilemmas of the Brazilian Grand Strategy" of the Strategic Studies Institute of the Army in this country and published a few months. In it, the logic follows that present and future between the two countries is more conducive to rivalry than to the alliance.

3. In this transition, there was the disclosure by WikiLeaks information of thousands of low, medium and medium high degree of security of the State Department about the relationship with Brazil. Examples: the purported decision of the government of Brazil to guide the purchase of combat aircraft in Europe and the United States \ prior knowledge that exist in Brazil about the presence of the FARC in Venezuela \ the comment from a Brazilian minister on a strong attitude anti-American by Marco Aurelio Garcia, and Samuel Pinheiro \ alleged arrests by police of suspects of international terrorism and has not been formally charged \ and informal requests to moderate Arab countries and influential businessmen to use their good offices to prevent presence of Islamic extremism in Brazil.

4. Rousseff's victory in presidential elections did more than reinforce the idea that foreign policy is increasingly active and is destined to remain challenging in the coming years. These processes should be an inescapable reality for current and future decision makers in foreign policy and defense of Argentina. More so when it shows what appears to be a stabilization of the positive relationship between Argentina and the USA. Starting point are the specific agreements, such as non-proliferation and tensions with the Iranian regime. Brazil's strategy of "face to face," will have a watchful eye of Washington.
