'Ideology before people' seems to be their battle cry.
After years of red-shirted, gun-wielding motochurros murdering unarmed citizens in the streets, the cracks are starting to show.
How soon before the military fully lose their appetite for 'suppressing' their brothers, sisters, cousins, and they fully turn on Socialist Dictator Maduro?
In a rare outbreak of sincerity, while being carried away by his idea of self-importance, Lula stated he was more determined than ever to become the “dictator” of Brazil...that's right : “dictator”.....and the first thing he would do, is imprison every journalist and/or politician who had ever spoken against him...without a trial, of course....

On the 10th May, he'll have to testify in front of Judge Moro, and it will be no surprise if he refuses to say anything, except repeat that he is the most honest person in Brazil and that he is a victim of political persecution.
