Western leaders should have negotiated with Russia, Brazilian politician says


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is “as responsible as [Russian President Vladimir] Putin for the war,” Brazilian presidential frontrunner Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told Time magazine on Wednesday, insisting that there is never just one guilty party in war

Zelensky “could have said: ‘Come on, let’s stop talking about this NATO business, about joining the EU for a while. Let’s discuss a bit more first,’” Lula pointed out, while arguing that US President Joe Biden, too, could have derailed the crisis had he wished to. “The United States has a lot of political clout. And Biden could have avoided [the conflict], not incited it.”

Lula insisted the privileged position handed Zelensky by all western politicians is unjustifiable, noting that while he sees “the president of Ukraine, speaking on television, being applauded, getting a standing ovation by all the [European] parliamentarians,” Zelensky is “as responsible as Putin for the war,” and it is irresponsible for the West to embrace him without qualification.



Instead of implicitly promising the Ukrainian leader his heart’s desires, the US and EU should have reassured Russia that Ukraine would not join NATO, Lula argued, drawing parallels with the compromises made during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, in which both the US and USSR agreed to deescalate conflict by removing missiles from each other’s effective backyards. Such security guarantees have repeatedly cropped up during negotiations between Russia and NATO, only to be repeatedly scrapped by the West.

“War is no solution,” Lula repeated. “And now we are going to have to foot the bill because of the war on Ukraine[i][/i]. Argentina, Bolivia will also have to pay. You’re not punishing Putin. You’re punishing many different countries, you’re punishing mankind.”

The conflict in Ukraine has pulled up the curtain on the abject failure of the UN as a global body, Lula pointed out, claiming “today’s United Nations doesn’t represent anything anymore. Governments don’t take the UN seriously today, because they make decisions without respecting it. We need to create a new global governance ….. “about time, UN na USA lap dog, total failure just like the “league of nations “- OP

Putin

Lula, I think you v been Brazilian president before.
Anyways, if they say you are a goat, don't do meeeeeheeee, meeeeeheeee!
They called Putin's bluff. He reacted. They said Putin, you are a bald white goat without beards, he started doing meeeeeheeee, meeeeeheeee, shelling Ukraine & threatening others with nukes just as goats litter the ground with feaces. At the end of the life of goat, the owner, God can slaughter it anytime.
Putin is a goat that think he can't be reached at anytime. God ll teach him a lesson.
So...Baba Lula, face Brazil & stop blaming. You no even blame nor beg Putin for his aggression. Abi is it Zelensky that shelled his country?
One thing about dictators is that as you keep pleasing them, they keep growing strong & demand more. See Korea & Mongolian War in the 12th, 13th, 14th century. Very needless war. At the end, peace was reached. Mongols had no justification for the war except flexing muscles. Sane with Russia today.
Last Drop:
My fresh early morning urine water on Putin's face!

Lula spoke as if he doesn't understand international politics and the interest of every nation.First, about talks, Putin was defiant all thru- the talks and show that he wasn't interested in the talks.Where was Lula when Blinken was traveling all over in Europe to make sure negotiations were made? Where was he when the Biden administration keeps raising alarm of potential threats? Where was he when Lavrov failed to attend the next scheduled talks in Europe and the attack on Ukraine? Lula is playing a fool of himself if he thinks that this war is not a war of interest between the U.S and Russia.
