The man has a very distorted view of the world, to say the least.

I find President Lula's statements about the environment ineffective. No one cares about the environment these days.

We are close to a nuclear catastrophe. We want to know about long-range missiles and drones that can destroy the environment of our enemies.

Well, you are doing a good job of destroying your own environment, without any help from outside.

And with very low-tech methods.

No need for complicated, high-tech, long-range missiles if you’re only firing at targets inside Brazil!
