Ukraine tells Lula “thanks but no thanks”

Despite Brazilian President Luiz Inàcio Lula da Silva's efforts to come up with a peace plan for the ongoing war in Europe, Ukraine replied Friday that it will not give up Crimea, a peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014, in exchange for the end of the conflict, something which the South American leader had suggested as a possible course of action.

    Lula must be poorly advised. This problem is of the United States and its satellites.

    There was the destruction of Iraq and Brazil did nothing. There was the destruction of Libya and Brazil did nothing. There was the destruction of Syria and Brazil did nothing. There was a war in Afghanistan and Brazil did nothing.

    Why would it be any different now?

    Why is the war weighing on the pockets of those involved? Because the war is for white Europeans? Why does Brazil want to show a strength it still doesn't have?

    This war is not mine!

    Ceasefires and negotiations only happen when one side is losing or both are too exhausted to fight on.

    We are not at that point yet.

    Russia’s offensive of the last few months has yielded nothing except very high casualties for the Russians, which they continue to suffer around Bakmut.

    The Ukrainian offensive is about to begin now they have their new NATO MBTs etc.

    We shall see how that goes, however even if it goes well (which it probably will, the Ukrainians have proved very adept at limited offensives) I seriously doubt it will be enough to persuade Putin to negotiate.

    This is going to go on for a while longer.

    BrAsshole,
    for once I agree with you....“ Lula must be poorly advised....”.......

    Yes, he definitely is, by people he indicated for the job.....people as incompetent as he is.....his idea for a peace plan, that the Ukraine should give up part of its territory in exchange for peace, is so effing stupid, not even worth listening to whatever else he may have in his head.

    Nine-Fingers believes he is a world-class statesman......only an ignorant, semi-illiterate, self-centered idiot would come to that conclusion....his first 100 days in government have been a disaster......no sustainable plan for the economy....his manifest intention is to do away with any kind of spending cap, which will, as it did in Dilma's lousy administration, take us down the drain.

    All he has done is to revoke policies put in place by the last administration, and which, despite Bolsonaro's big mouth, were actually getting Brazil back on track.

    For many of the ministerial positions he has prioritized indications of woke, leftist activists who only think of themselves.

    But let's go to what matters....for ex., looking after the poor, by providing a decent education, public health services, public safety.....forget that ! ....once again, his solution is to throw a bit of money at them, and then do damned all else......he has just revoked a Sanitation Law, passed in 2020, whereby private investors could enter the basic sanitation market, finally addressing a decades-old problem - the lack of basic sanitation ; Brazil has over 100 million people who don't have access to sewage systems, 'n 35 million who don't have access to clean drinking water, yet the ex-convict pefers to leave the sanitation business in the hands of State-run companies that have invested very little to improve the systems, and have been doing a lousy job for decades....healthy competion is not something the PT defends....it couldn't give a damn about the people......but they voted him in, so let them lump it.

    Jack, The latter part of of your comment is right on target. Here, on the Northeastern coastline, the string of fishing villages has been promised piped water for decades by the various municipal mayoral candidates (of both stripes), but nothing ever happens. There are interlocking corrupt interests blocking any sort of permanent infrastructure improvements. As an ex-engineer I put in probably the only properly designed drain and leach field in this area for my house. Everyone else still dumps their sewage directly into the permeable ground, polluting the aquifer. The blame also falls on the electorate. As long as they receive free tanker loads of (non-potable) water delivered, they are content to remain captives of this system and continue the lethargy of inaction, wearing the free T-shirts and caps handed out during the last election cycle.

    Bras
    Reading what JB and FortHay say above, it would seem that many of Brazils problems are institutionalised, baked in whoever is in power.

    Neither is willing or capable of building even basic infrastructure such as water and sewage systems, due to local corruption.

    Until you fix this aspect, it doesn’t matter who’s in power things are not going to change for large sections of the population.

    But then the same could probably be said for most of S. America.

    We return to politics. A Brazil is in favor of the Strong State. Another Brazil is in favor of the Weak State.

    People who want a Weak State no longer live in Brazil. They see Brazil as a source of income. Not like a country that has people.

    What they think, say or do doesn't matter anymore. We don't believe him.

    If Brazil has problems, we have the will to solve them.

    “Skippy himself answers”
    He isn’t here at all, and you're not all here.

    ”What is Psychological Projection (In Layman’s Terms)?
    What happens when you have a whole bunch of uncomfortable, embarrassing and annoying emotions that you don’t want to unconsciously deal with? According to famous psychologist Sigmund Freud these emotions are projected on to other people, so that other people become carriers of our own perceived flaws. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for us, this form of emotional displacement makes it much easier to live with ourselves … because everyone else is responsible for our misery – not us!
    As a result of externalising our emotions and perceiving them in others, we continue suffering terribly, often creating false self-images that portray us as “the victim” or “the good/righteous person” when the reality is that we aren’t.“
    https ://lonerwolf.com/psychological-projection/

    ”Psychological Projection - Are You Making Everyone Else ..
    Jung connected psychological projection to his concept of ‘the shadow’. The shadow is the part of ourselves we refuse to identify with because we deem it as unacceptable and not ‘positive’.
    For Jung, projection happens when we are not able to accept our shadow and its gifts but would rather thing we are only comprised of ‘positive’ things, imposing a judgement system on ourselves we must maintain by forcing others to be the scapegoat for parts of ourselves.
    Melanie Klein, one of the founding figures of psychoanalytic theory who furthered Freud’s theories, pointed out that projection can also be not just about denying parts of ourselves but also about connecting ourselves to others in a way that allows us to feel we can acquire parts of what they have.

    Chicureo, Pugol-H, FortHay

    To be fair, Brazil's problems aren't restricted to only leftist administrations and their backward policies, but are reinforced and perpetuated by them.....the left has the knack of making Brazil regress....it's like the foxtrot, one step forward, two backward.

    FortHay, the fact you live in Brazil, enables you to understand its reality.....differently to some others (on here), who have either, never lived here but pretend to know better than those who do or, are too damned ignorant to understand it, having been deprived of a decent education, and accept all the bs the left throws around.

    One thing an idiot posted above, “Brazil's growth corresponds to periods where left-wing nationalism ruled”, needs correcting....whether he likes it or not, the period in recent history during which Brazil had its highest growth rates, was while the military were in power - they built a lot of the lacking infrastructure, much of which Brazil still enjoys today - after the military, most of the subsequent civilian administrations preferred to fill their pockets rather than to serve their country.

    The above mentioned idiot must be thinking that the growth experimented in 2004 was the result of Nine-finger's policies....wrong again - it was the result of :
    1) policies put in place by the previous administration of FHC (who implemented the Plano Real, 'n which the PT voted against) ;
    2) the agribusiness which was already becoming a major player in Brazil's economy, and
    3) the demand for commodities and the world's trading boom.

    The fact that the benefits were reaped by the ex-con, is why the lefties have the false impression that their eternal (ignorant) leader might have been responsible....
    The lefties don't like serious stats, they prove them wrong...every time..

    Anyway, Pugol, Chicureo, and FortHay, good to see you are all in good spirits, and have a happy Easter !

    We are getting closer to the only description on Internet of obscure YANKEE ARMY MAYOR, “JAMES FRANCIS GRAVELLE“ to be found..., provided by an obscure YANKEE INTERNET SITE that says of him...:
    - ”James Francis Gravelle has been listed as a reputable lawyer, army officer by Marquis Who's Who.“

    “JAMES FRANCIS GRAVELLE” since 1985 is the chief proponent “EXPERT IN INTERNATIONAL LAW OF THE US GOVERNMENT” as far as Argentina is concerned.

    In spite of seven successive presidencies, it has remained as the status quo.

    “Customary international law; Silence as consent;
    Generally, sovereign nations must consent in order to be bound by a particular treaty or legal norm. However, international customary laws are norms that have become pervasive enough internationally that countries need not consent in order to be bound. In these cases, all that is needed is that the state has not objected to the law....”

    Skippy,

    You and your stupid statements, as if they alone, were proof of anything, are a clear sign that you are mentally ill, and have a very limited, one-track mind....

    You believe I am a fascist....d'you think I care ?

    If you had even half abrain in your head, you might realize that given only two options, most will choose the lesser of two evils...

    But I DO agree that the military made one BIIIG mistake , in 1985 - they allowed all the lefties back in, and that is why today we have a nine-fingered, leftist crook in power.

    Thirty years ago who would have believed that Venezuela could become what it is today ? and Nicaragua ? who are their current friends ? Russia and China...... but I'm sure you consider them all thriving democracies....

    Last but not least, tell me, how is your socialist cellar-paradise coming along ? Do your inflatable friends give you any trouble ? Speak back to you ?

    “...But, after critically reviewing the bases for Argentina’s claim to sovereignty, one must conclude that Argentina never developed definite title to the Islands. None of the bases argued by Argentina are conclusive in establishing sovereignty. Applying the rules concerning the mode of extinctive prescription to Great Britain's claim results in a different conclusion. Extinctive prescription involves possession, ... However, since this was such a long period of time, exceeding eighty years, one could conclude under general principles of international lawthat this was a sufficient period to extinguish Argentina's claim in spite of her diplomatic protests. Regardless of the conclusion reached above, however, the establishment of the world courts changed the situation so that diplomatic protests were no longer sufficient to keep Argentina's claim to sovereignty alive.”

    I believe I should thank you for spreading that message, even though you haven't the slightest idea what is was all about or why it happened....in today's world of wokeness and other leftist sh*t, it is very welcome.
    Where is the tolerance you lefties talk about so much ? Ah, I forgot, that concept doesn't apply to you commies.

    “Oh no! Don't remind Skippy about his repeated fetish about inflatable dolls...”

    Too late for that ......but his old Ma saw the writing on the wall and thought it better to lock him up in the cellar before something worse happened......today, he only abuses inflatable dolls.....no crime in that.

    Pugol,

    The Chubut turnip is similar to Skippy in more ways than one.....lives by himself ; has a one track mind, eg., “- One Anglo that publicly rejoices and supports the assassination of Brazilian Street children...” (totally ignoring the very relevant context in which it occurred....anyway, I stand corrected - “O alvo: meninos, moradores de rua, que tinham entre 11 e 19 anos” ; has weird outlook on life, and is highly secretive about it...perhaps the result of a not-so-savory past ? (and not just referring to nightly visits to his black-nosed sheep) ; Sees life go by through the bottom of an empty whisky glass - Skippy sees it go past through a barred cellar window ; and reserves insults disguised as sarcasm for those he presumably considers a friend......with a friend like that, who needs enemies ? (Skippy at least is just outright nasty) ...but I reckon Chicureo knows who he is dealing with.

    - Good for you..., hermanito that you have greately soften your South American militaty convictions...

    - Do those new soft ones yield any discernible positive results for our countries civilian population than the old hard ones...?

    - I do meself remain quite true to my civilian convictions since about the 1950'es...
    Convictions which have..., during the last hundred years..., transformed one of the most war-torn..., unequal & uncultured fringe areas of Europe into ONE of..., if not THE most egalitarian..., inclusive & civilized regions on Earth...

    Capisce...?

    It was not just the War that de-populated Croatia and other countries in the region like Slovenia (also a very nice place to visit). Since then they have joined the EU which includes the free movement of people within the EU. As a result of which many, particularly young, Croatians have left seeking better opportunities in other EU countries. It is actually becoming quite a serious problem in that part of Europe.

    And always a pleasure to talk to you, for my part.

    Yes, by and large I concur, Stink and Chicureo obviously do have a rapport, which I respect as a matter between them.

    I would also add that, I have travelled further than most and for longer than most and in places where most do not go, and in all that time I have only ever, on a few occasions, encountered someone as bitter and twisted as Stink. A ‘not-so-savoury past’ I would say is a given here.

    Probably still had to go to that expensive school wearing short trousers, when everyone else was wearing long ones. That kind of thing can affect a person for life. The bottom of a whiskey glass being the only lens he had to view the world through, until the doctors told him he had to dry out.

    Save the fine speeches about progress in Europe, which had nothing to do with you, you’re S. American. Indeed had little to do with leftist politics either.

    Your ‘civilian convictions since about the 1950'es’ clearly do not extend to either the Indigenous inhabitants of Puelmapu or the Falkland Islanders, in who’s case you explain it by claiming they are ‘Squatters’ (you may also Google that). Which is quite ridiculous coming from you.

    Never let the truth get in the way of a good story and never tell the truth when a lie or misrepresentation or obfuscation will do, is consistently your M. O. If indeed you have any conviction, you only apply them where politically convenient to do so, which is sheer hypocrisy of the worst kind.

    And you talk of ‘consistent with the truth’, Pfff.

    I doubt Chile will ever need another military government except a natural emergency such as earthquake. Yet the economic situation of Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil remain uncertain...

    But here is the first time anyone ever made such an assertion.

    Moreover, what you say about others says more about yourself.
    “How positively you see others is linked to how happy, kind-hearted and emotionally stable you are, according to new research. In contrast, negative perceptions of others are linked to higher levels of narcissism and antisocial behavior.”

    “l truly do appreciate you not exposing my identity.”

    You mean as the malignant narcissist who spends all his waking hours, attempting to project the identity of his muse onto someone else?

    Chicureo and Pugol,

    The truth is I couldn't care less about Stinks leftist convictions, he has the right to express them I have the freedom to not believe them....

    But I still think there's something that happened in his past which affects him until today.....what else could be responsible for his bitterness ? just a rhetorical question, as it is his problem, and his only.

    And life goes on....
