I agree with you on the intentions behind the invasion. I have a few opinions and theories on the true nature of it.

No need to be snarky. Or course it's obvious. Nonetheless NATO definitely shouldn't be meddling that far east. This whole thing, without a doubt, is Russia and the West testing the boundaries. Russia has all the reason to not want NATO expanding to its borders, and NATO has all the reason to want the war to go on as long as possible and to deplete Russia of everything it has. The war is dumb as hell and needs to end, people are dying so two world powers can flex and exhaust

The global south has been exploited by western hegemony for a long time, he has good reason to be suspect of NATO expansion.

Social democrat then, either way my statement stands regarding western powers

Can you send me your source so we can discuss?

Lol what do you think the workers party is? Do some research bud

Luckily he has a proven track record of fighting for social progress and unions. Right wing extremism reactionaries will always rise when leftist leaders stand up

Unfortunately Lula is further left than most western nations, who will dismantle Socialist nations at first opportunity

Lula is hope for a better world!

Some? Across the board he has amazing ideals, hopefully the Bolsonaro supporting military doesn't step in here and prevent progress.
