Sure pal, why wasn't an independent republic of Rio Grande Do Sul allowed independence, in spite of the efforts of no less a liberator than Garibaldi against your tyranny? Dry up, creep.

‘a “historic liability.” In Lula's view, “they have to pay for this dispute, otherwise it won't solve the problem. You've already taken advantage of the planet’

Errr, Brazil is the 4th largest polluter in today and the 5th largest polluter historically, where Britain is the 17th largest polluter in today and the 16th largest polluter historically.

Not to mention that Brazil’s emission levels are still climbing where most western countries emissions have halved over the last 30 years.

Brazil must be one of the biggest payers for ‘historic liability’, whether they have a welfare state or not.

The man either has no idea what he is talking about, or is deluded, or both.
