    Lula is turning out to be a fucking bad joke. And to think, the world sighed in relief after Bolsonaro…

      Why? He’s right?

      Obama always gets a free pass though, and Dubya was the one who started the ball rolling.

        Because the Russians have been at this shit for as long as they’ve existed. No one but them is responsible for the war and in particular Putin. It was never about national security with him, rather a mix of regime security and unhinged ideas about national destiny. Russia has nukes and they were totally secure.

        Now, of course your can say the Ukrainians pushed the Russians to attack, by not folding to the russian demands, but how is this a valid argument?

        So to circle around, Lula is a clown.

          The USA is solely responsible for the war. They turned Ukraine into a backward fascist state and spread ultranationalist Nazi ideology all over it. Used it as a crooked base for the kids of their oligarchs and worsened the corruption. Then they used it to try to “weaken Russia” as they keep saying. Zelensky was threatening Russia with nukes while banning languages and religion and carrying out ethnic cleansing after the Nazi coup.

          by not folding to the russian demands

          What were these demands? A much better loan offer than the EU made?
