The attacks on the headquarters of the three powers in Brasilia have geopolitical implications. the wave of Solidarity with Brazil from the main democratic governments is accompanied by the expectation that the President lula understand that times have changed, that an alliance of democratic countries is forming against an authoritarian bloc. On this battlefield, the space for neutrality is rapidly shrinking.
The day after the attacks, President Joe Biden called to support Lula and they talked for 10 to 15 minutes. The French Emmanuel MacronCenterright, German Olaf ScholzCentreleft, the British Rishi SunakCenterright, Spanish Pedro Sanchezleft, and even the Italian Giorgia Meloniwhose party is the heir to fascism, expressed his solidarity with Lula and his rejection of authoritarianism.
On Dec. 2, Lula said he would address attacks on democracy at his scheduled February meeting with Biden at the White House donald trump and from Jair Bolsonaro: “We have a lot to talk about because the US and Brazil suffer from a democratic need”.

Things have only grown since then, and evidence is mounting that Bolsonarists are faithfully following the Trumpists’ playbook. However, at the same press conference, Lula declared: “We will be talking about BrazilUS relations and Brazil’s role in world geopolitics. I want to speak to him Ukraine warthat there is no reason for war.”
Lula doesn’t seem to understand the need to say that Wladimir Putin. The tone of this and other statements suggests that he blames the US, at least in part, for the war.
In the most absurd statement by any political leader other than Putin on the subject, Lula told Time magazine in May that the Ukrainian president, Volodmir ZelenskyyHe wanted war and you have to tell him, ‘Okay, you’re a good comedian. But we won’t go to war to get you on TV.”
It praises Zelenski’s videos and his performance as a whole relentlessly Europe it is us United States of America. Without this leadership, Ukrainians would not have set the greatest example of resistance, love of freedom, and democracy since World War II. While defending democracy in Brazil, Lula doesn’t seem to understand that Ukrainians are shedding blood for the very same cause.
In Lula’s first two terms, Brazil managed to remain on par with the US, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia on the one hand, and China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela on the other. . This world no longer exists.
