Lula has the constitutional power to reverse his predecessor Bolsonaro’s prior policy of voting against Russia at the UN but voluntarily chose to continue it, which discredits his Hybrid Warriors’s disinformation-driven copium campaign covering up for his condemnation of Russia alongside Biden earlier this month and confirms that he’s truly recalibrated his worldview to more closely align with the US’.
It is a great American victory indeed. But I believe the RICS will keep their current alignment. Brazil also risks becoming isolated in Latin America - the coup in Peru was successful but I'm not seeing the same happening in other countries. You never know though.
As I pointed out yesterday when commenting on your article in response to the pseudo-left staunchly supporting Lula, the BRICS have sometimes raised expectations that are unrealistic at the moment.
Such is the case of Brazil, where Lula supports the creation of a new multipolar order, but is still subject to political, economic, technological and military dependence on Western imperialism, which limits his field of action in favor of his partners in the BRICS.
In Latin America, no one is really surprised by Brazil's vote at the UN; Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Chile, other major countries in the region, also voted against Russia, with the notable exceptions of Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, which shows that these are reformist governments, center-left, far from having a real will to break its ties with the US, the EU and its allies.
We have also seen this cynical and false behavior in the case of Mexico, where Amlo, a populist who one day criticizes the delivery of German tanks to Ukraine to satisfy his radical electorate in Mexico, the next day orders a vote in favor of resolutions as ignominious as yesterday in the UN General Assembly.
I'm not convinced. Yet another meaningless vote where everyone decided wether or not they are to be coerced into ostensibly agreeing with the US? Did the US care when almost the whole world (not the West's false narrative of "the world", I mean literally almost everyone) voted against Cuban sanctions yet again? No.
I think supply aid to Kiev would be a real backstab. Right now, it's just posturing.
Lula Just Backstabbed Putin By Ordering Brazil To Vote Against Russia At The UN
Does Lula still have any plans on reviving the Sur? This is the only thing that could redeem him in my mind.

Lula, a giant!... Koribco who?
Goodbye BRICS. Only SCO/SilkRoad and Trade Partners are priorities.
