What matters is that we have peace restored. This is no ordinary war. Humanity lives under the Sword of Damocles. At any time “this war” could escalate into a conflict where there will be no losers or winners. Just the death of us all.

If speaking the truth is a sin, I am the greatest sinner!

Lula’s comments are not going to ‘restore peace’, they are pro-Russian and only going to ‘add fuel to the fire’.

Speaking the truth is not a sin and even if it were, you would be completely innocent.

He's not welcome because he supports Putin and his regime of terror. It's good that he's making these comments though, it really makes clear his support for territorial aggression, war crimes, rape, torture and murder of civilians. Maybe the world will get lucky and somebody will stick a knife in his gut too...
