So, people that don't do what you want are autocratic? An interesting idea.

And how* is Lula supporting Putin? By not sending weapons that would be used against his country?

The fact that he equivocates Zelenskyy and Putin as both being at equal blame for war says it all https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/04/brazil-lula-zelenskiy-blame-war

Big jump in logic, isn't it?

He said it was also Zelenskiy fault because of lack of dialogue, and if more efforts had been given to diplomacy, the war could've been avoided. Whether he is right or not is irrelevant, as that doesn't mean he supports Putin.

It’s a bullshit talking point nobody with two brain cells would believe.

This idea that words could have prevented the Russian invasion is literally Russian propaganda.

That’s a suckers response for defending a partner nation who has invaded its neighbor to steal its lands while it indiscriminately murders, terrorizes and tortures the civilian populace. This ‘war’ is a direct result of Putins imperialistic desires, there’s no diplomatic resolve with a tyrant. Putin was coming for Ukraine regardless of what they did or said. His entire pretext for war was right out of Hitlers playbook with Poland.
