If Lula’s chief foreign policy advisor was really sympathetic to Russia, then he wouldn’t suggest that its total military defeat is inevitable, he’d unambiguously oppose any NATO-like security guarantees for Ukraine, and he wouldn’t hint that the next Hitler might come from Russia either.
"... [the Ukraine's] lack of formal membership in this [NATO] bloc isn’t sufficient for ensuring Moscow’s national security concerns..."
So glad to see that recognised. Thank you!
"Bilateral mutual defense pacts could still be clinched between [the] Ukraine and NATO..."
Now, where else might we have seen that???
Oh yeah, I remember: that's how WWs I and II started!
"...Lula’s chief foreign policy advisor is suggesting that Russia will capitulate..."
"...he’s implying that the seeds of fascism have already been sown all across Russia..."
Wow, this guy's really in lu-lu land, 'Kingdom of the DeLuded'!
One of the Americans' (DEA's) few 'successes', by the way: effectively taking Quaaludes (Methaqualone) off the market by targeting precursors to its production. It's an interesting case in point — apart from the lu-lu 'Ludes(, man)' rhyme — because it illustrates the American penchant for habituation over thought processes: because they'd enjoyed success with Quaaludes (of the '70s), they kept banging on and on with the same hammer, believing it must surely be the winner in the whack-a-mole game with Methamphetamine (in the '90s) without really understanding, i.e. adequately addressing, the differences in their production and supply chains. Interesting because that's what they do with weapons: just keep on making them, like WWII never ended, because it worked so well once it must work that way forever. ("Nothing ever lasts forever.") I understand the same is said of old generals and Einstein: once they've won a battle, or scored a Nobel Prize, by one means, they're never really able to re-assess it. What was it the Nobel Prize winning Administrator said (something like), 'When you've got the biggest, baddest hammer in the world, every problem looks like a nail.'? Give that man a kewpie doll! (NOT a Nobel Prize, for Chrissake!)
"If he was really sympathetic to Russia, then he wouldn’t suggest that its total military defeat is inevitable..."
I don't see that as an indication of sympathy or anything else, other than he simply doesn't understand the situation; understands not what he's talking about and most likely has little desire to learn. I think it's an American expression: 'Nothing's harder than trying to get somebody to understand something they get a salary to not understand.'
