"pushes glasses" it started around the 1500s with the start of the colonizarion process and it's brutal mismanagement that started the huge wealth inequality, then followed by the millions of slaves from África and the plantations style of agriculture that pratically remains to this day, that created the big farmer class that has considerable influence in politics, and when a president that finally decided to do the much needed reform on the agriculture system, blam, here comes the usa with a coup and the big farmers joined with the military to continue controling the country, after redemocratization the impact of 3 decades of propaganda and dissapearing political oponents can still be felt, on one day when a man runs for presidency with support from the big farmers and the military he wins, Bolsonaro, who then proccededs to do a covert genocide of the remaining natives, this last action was discovered a few days ago

Reply to Lithuanian president: NATO countries should supply Ukraine with all the weapons it needs by Tayo826

The entire international community should tell any aggressor that they cannot annex or take territory from anyone else. If they want more land, possibly they could buy it or negotiate with the sovereign state from which it would come. Military annexation and commandeering of neighboring territory should be absolutely forbidden and the aggressor should be cut off at the shoulder. There is no way that Putin should be allowed to take one square inch of Ukraine, including Crimea. The problem was he was let to get away with it then and now he thought he could do it again. Any neighboring state of his has every reason to be worried that they could be next. Again, the international community must put a stop to annexation of territory... Full stop.

Reply to comment by Cabo_Martim in Brazil’s Lula snubs Olaf Scholz with Ukraine war remarks by Houseboat87

>"I think the reason for the war between Russia and Ukraine also needs to be clearer. Is it because of NATO? Is it because of territorial claims? Is it because of entry into Europe? The world has little information about that," Lula added.

This is anything but neutral.

It's basically parroting the Russian propaganda line.

You're an excellent example of the phenomenon I'm referring to.

Reply to comment by HootblackDesiato in UK and US rule out sending F-16 jets to Ukraine - as No 10 says it would be impractical | Politics News by BelleAriel

>Any aircraft sold by the US to foreign governments can be "dumbed down"in capability and many are. That certainly includes the nuclear carrycapability.

In the case of some European allies, they often aren't.

Plenty of NATO members 'without' nukes, have nukes on loan from the US, which they are to be given in the event of a war. It's part of the nuclear sharing agreement. Goes back decades.

We could certainly 'dumb down' Ukrainian jets, but what's no point. They don't have nukes, but how are the Russians to tell from the ground?

The F16 maybe, but the F35 has stealth capability. That's an issue.
