I really wish neither would win and both would be barred from running again. But since that won't happen, let's just keep looking for opportunities abroad
Some of us value action over abstraction, and mental fitness more than a particular disposition. Some of us would leave it at "We've heard enough from you".
So how does that make them support imperialist Putin? No logic there unless it's all about corruption as above, which is almost always the case with Putin's puppets.
The Russians may be imperialists but lucky for South American countries they rarely leave their neighbourhood and have never visited the western hemisphere.
He doesn't. He negotiates with all leaders because he's a statesman. Russia is an important ally of Brazil in many areas, but that never stopped Lula from calling him out over Ukraine.
Having basically a modern Nazi state as an important ally is a huge problem, which is exactly what I'm pointing out. I assume it's based on corruption, which is essentially another way to describe statesmen without values (i.e. he is willing to profit from Putin).
Calling out is just a PR thing, he still has dealings with Putin as you say. I.e. as above, trying to sit on two chairs.
He also does business and have alliances with Trump, whose administration has been actively hostile to Brazil. The world of international politics doesn't exist within the naïve set of rules yours seems to.
Change Nazi Germany there to Trump's USA and their strong ties with Netanyahu (and also Putin!) and re-read what you said. Laughing still?
What do you expect to happen? You live in la-la land, little buddy. Lula is a statesman in charge of the largest democracy in Latin America, and one that's just taught the entire world a lesson in democracy.
Retire to your tiny little corner of dream land and quit trolling and shitting on people who are actually trying to make the world a better place rather than spewing out useless ultra-ideological rhetoric with no practical consequences.
You are avoiding the point and sound almost like Putin's propaganda, so it's a waste of time.
You can't excuse sitting on two chairs with "it's politics" anyway. Collaborating with Nazis is collaborating with Nazis. Putin's buddies don't make the world a better place, that's for sure.
Once again, a clear anti-Bolsonaro vote from the majority of the electorate. Lula won because he got last-minute support from the moderates and even some right-wingers. It certainly does not feel like a victory of the left.
Now he will face a much bigger opposition in Congress and therefore will have to find a middle ground.
I expect his policies to move even further to the right. This might pave the way for his vice-president Alckmin, a historical right-winger, to run in the 2030 elections — likely against São Paulo’s governor Tarcísio de Freitas, also a right-winger and considered more moderate than the Bolsonaros despite being associated with them.
Who would you rather have seen running instead?

I think it's because neither incarnation could do imperialism via a navy so all the countries not on the Russian periphery never experienced it.
Back then may be access to information was harder, but there is no excuse today.
Currently looks smart. Brazil’s one security concern is seemingly in Putin’s pocket.

No one is saying Putin is great or that he's making the world a better place.

Why the flagging?
