Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva noted that "Europe, which held a middle-ground position for some time, finally sided with Washington and now is spending billions to rearm itself"
PARIS, June 3. /TASS/. Former US President Joe Biden, while in office, said he wanted Russia to be destroyed, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said in an interview with French newspaper Le Monde.
Commenting on the situation in Ukraine, the Brazilian leader said that at first he had condemned Russia’s special military operation. He stressed however that "Western countries also bear part of responsibility."
"Joe Biden, whom I talked to about this at length, thought that Russia should be destroyed. And Europe, which held a middle-ground position for some time, finally sided with Washington and now is spending billions to rearm itself. That concerns me. If you keep speaking only about war there will never be peace," he said.
He also stated his readiness to support peace talks between Russia and Ukraine and recalled that back in 20024 Brazil along with China and 11 other countries had offered a peace settlement plan.
Can we agree that we cannot trust the opinions and statements of Lula?
Chines have bought land near US military bases.
Everybody spies on everybody.
Yes. I said as much in my first reply (#34) to your original post, which you apparently had difficulty comprehending...quote: "You can doubt the truth of Lula's words...."
So I repeat.....can we agree that TASS did not fabricate this interview?
“... what US president is going to send US soldiers 5,000 miles to fight a nuclear armed Russia for Estonia?”
Don’t be an idjit, that is the purpose and promise of NATO.
Not to mention that the unConstitutional deepState/neocon autopen behind Bidementia or scramble brain Kamala would do so without hesitation.
ok apologist, are there open Chinese military personnel on our borders?
Don’t be an idjit, that is the purpose and promise of NATO.
Response was to why withdrawing NATO protection from countries, like Estonia, was very consequential.
There is a tremendous difference between sending troops to Europe responding to a Russian attack that killed NATO troops and sending US troops responding to a Russian invasion of a Non NATO country.
Well, he and Patton agree on something.
As far as I know, no.
Whats the point? We are not a threat to Mexico and they are not a threat to us. Except for drugs, illegals, etc.
Are you seriously suggesting that if Mexico invited Chinese military personnel as advisors, we would invade Mexico?
Can we agree that TASS=Pravda??
For the third time...can we agree that TASS did not fabricate this interview?
I answered your previous question with a "yes". Is there a problem reciprocating and providing a simple yes/no answer?
My dad was in Patton’s 3rd. I always liked the guy. Patton, not my dad. Well, I liked my dad but I was talking about Patton. I used to go to the Patton museum at Fort Knox, Ky, when I was a kid. My dad was a defense contractor and did a lot of work for the Corps of Engineers at Ft. Knox.
Can we agree that TASS is who reported the item to you, and that TASS/Pravda always has the Kremlim’s narrative agenda on all they do, and would not present something that does not fit that agenda; and that for all we know Lula is a liar on anything he says about any American.
It is TASS/Pravda that is tainted. If they push something reported by some other source it is only because the report comports with TASS political narrative/agenda.
Isn’t that true of American and British news media in general?
“Isn’t that true of American and British news media in general?”
Agree as to: ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NBC/NPR plus NYTimes and most of the major newspapers.
