I'm making no statement on the "truth" of his words. When I wrote "You can doubt the truth of Lula's words...." I'm saying you can doubt whether his words are true. Sorry for taxing your rudimentary comprehension skills.
Le Monde is a Leftist venue and going all the way back to Reagan’s time known for presenting views close to the Kremlin’s.
My point was simple; the interview was not commissioned, conducted or published by TASS. You wrote "TASS = Pravda", as if TASS had invented the whole thing.
TASS/Pravda is relaying what was said in the Leftist rag Le Monde BECAUSE it - Leftist Lula - fits/presents the TASS/Pravda line. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t.
