I think that you have completely misunderstood what is going on. And you, as much as the western media and even George Soros don't understand that you are all playing bridge and you are the patsy! Lula has consistently made statements against the war in Ukraine. He has held Russia, the US, Zelensky, and the EU responsible for this. Those are statements. Now let's look at what concrete projects he is implementing or involved in. Working with Argentina on a new South American currency. working with the original BRICS members on a new BRICS currency, looking to integrate Brazil into the BRICS payment system, helping his protégé Dima Rousseff become the new president of the BRICS Bank and working with other Latin American countries to create trade deals with Cuba to get around US sanctions. I would add that while meeting Biden he refused the US request that Brazil send arms to Ukraine emphasising that his goal is to end the war. Those are actions. I'm perplexed. It seems that you think that Brazil should follow a path that none of the other BRICS countries are following. Maybe you should learn a bit more about Latin America rather than cherry picking information for a narrative that you seem to already have in your head.

Well, unlike you, I am Brazilian...so I would understand a thing or two about the country and its long-standing president. You, on the other hand, need to learn what Brazilian politics really are, and who Lula is. Keep on reading Korybko's articles about him, they are most informative, and I agree with them entirely.

Nicholas, as I tell my daughter 2/3 of the time I will be wrong. I'm always ready to change my opinion based on new facts. I don't hold to my previous opinion given what has transpired since I wrote my comment. I honestly don't have an opinion any more since it is incoherent what Lula is doing. He is all over the place. I wonder what will happen when he visits Xi in China.

Eu sou um norte-americano que tem muitos amigos brasileiros de quando eu crescei em Nova York e vivei em Portugal. Ainda não visitei o Brasil, mas vou fazer no futuro. Mesmo meus amigos brasileiros não sabem o que Lula está a fazer.

Fique bem 😊
