Reply to comment by Ban-Evader-1233 in Brazil's Lula cold-shoulders Germany's Scholz on Ukraine support by Available_Hamster_44
The fight for the Amazon is a regional conflict.
He wants help from Europe but isn't willing to help Europe. Which is not only hypocrisy but short sighted.
The Ukraine War has major ripples that negatively impact Brazilians. Just like deforestation in the Amazon has ripple effects that negatively impact Europe.

No it's not. There is no conflict. Only a bunch of people doing illegal stuff, prompted by said Putin puppet, Wich underfunded every institution that work on the area. That's all. For what I know Lula was able to make great things on this area on his first terms. From my point of view Brazil is right on focus on its own problems that also affect the rest of the world.

I said it's not a regional conflict, but it's internal affairs, refund the police and ambiental organs and it's over. Anyway, noone is forcing Germany to help.

You said right here that there is no conflict
Plus, it is regional as the Amazon basin spans multiple counties and Lula has said the region needs to work together on this

No regional conflict. Ok. Thank you for the interaction internet stranger, it was nice. Let's see what happens next.

It not need to be state actors to be a conflict.
Lots of weapons on both sides. Tribes at risk of being wiped out.
Sounds like a conflict to me.
I agree Brazil should focus/take the lead on the Amazon just like Europe should focus/ take the lead in Ukraine.
But this isn't about focus or leadership, no one is asking Lula for that in Ukraine. They are simply asking for assistance like Brazil is asking from Europe

Lula said he was not sending ammo before the chancellor visit... That was already clear.

That doesn't change the fact that Germany is requesting.
