As you know, in today's global village pattern, India and Turkey have won the title of East Evil and West Poison for their unconventional routines. However, in recent times, especially after the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli war, the evil and western poison have stopped a lot, which has made the people who eat melons very uncomfortable for a while.
And what about the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar? Truth be told, these two characters are quite controversial these days. Some people say that the northern beggar is Russia, guarding the huge family business and being so poor that he is tinkling, but he does not forget to fight and kill. There are also those who disagree with this statement. The controversy of Nandi is even greater, and the good news for the melon-eating masses is that Brazil is ready to call Nandi. In many people's minds, Brazil has nothing but football and beautiful women. However, after Lula**'s return, Brazil's struggle in the international community has come close to that of India and Turkey. Let's take a look at what Brazil has done recently: first, the global village that dares to call out the power is a river and lake, with both fighting and killing (such as Russia and Ukraine, such as Palestine and Israel, such as the Houthis**) and sophisticated people (such as forming gangs, saying cruel words or flattering eyes, doing ruthless things or giving **, etc.). Politicians want to make a name for themselves in the global village; At the same time, if you want to be famous, you must also have the courage to speak out and call for power. A very important reason why India and Turkey can be called evil and poisonous is that they often argue with the five good people in the village. In today's global village, the number one power is the Jews. So Lula raised his voice and spoke to Israel. On February 18, during an interview with the African Union, Lula harshly criticized Israel's violent military operations in the Gaza StripCalling the Israeli military operation a "genocide" against the Palestinians, similar to the "great ** suffered by the Jews".。Since Hamas's sneak attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, Israel's military assault on the Gaza Strip has continued to the present day and shows no signs of stopping. Initially, other Islamic countries in the Middle East distanced themselves from Hamas, while also loudly condemning Israel. Today, their condemnation of Israel is also becoming weaker. At a time when the international community is becoming more and more indifferent to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Lula stood up and loudly condemned Israel, which was indeed very eye-catching and became a clear stream in the world. Lula's denunciations angered Israel. Netanyahu criticized Lula's remarks as "crossing a red line", and Israel summoned Brazil's ambassador to Israel to give him a call for Lula's "unwelcome from Israel."
Lula also hardened his mind and directly recalled the ambassador to Israel and expelled the Israeli ambassador to Brazil. **The world began to look at Lula differently, thinking that he had a tough guy style. You must know that most of the most important discourse in the world today is in the hands of Jews; In doing so, he is tantamount to challenging the Jews, and it is tantamount to challenging the United States. Of course, politicians are realists, and Lula has his own considerations for doing so, which will not be mentioned here for the time being. Second, internal strifeWhether it is India in the East or Turkey in the West, internal disputes are often presented to the melon-eating masses. Brazil's system is essentially similar to that of India and Turkey, and it is also a contested ballot system, and it is deeply influenced by the West. Therefore, when Brazil came out of the circle, its internal contradictions also became a new attraction in the melon-eating world. The 2024 G20 summit will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. According to the rules of the game, the G20 foreign ministers' meeting will be held at the beginning of the year to warm up. On February 22, after the G20 foreign ministers' meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov plans to go to Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, to meet Lula and promote relations between Brazil and Russia. However, an embarrassing scene appeared. Because Lavrov's plane did not have enough fuel, it had to be refueled first. According to common sense, adding oil is of course a trivial matter. But in Brazil, the little thing turned into a big thing. The local Brazilian gas station even refused to refuel Lavrov's plane! The reason is that Lavrov is sanctioned by the United States, and Brazil's oil operators are worried that refueling Lavrov will be implicated. As a last resort, Lavrov had no choice but to put his plane aside and take the Brazilian foreign minister's plane to Brasilia to meet Lula. It's a very hilarious thing. First of all, this incident has made Russia lose face in the international community and given the West a handle to ridicule Russia. The Russians are unhappy, and the nationalists in the country are clamoring for a boycott of Brazilian goods. Secondly, it shows that there are many internal contradictions in Brazil, the United States has a very strong penetration of Brazil, and the ** faction is very strong. Third, such a fuss also casts a shadow on whether Putin will participate in the G20 summit in Brazil later. Because it means that Putin's safety in Brazil may not be guaranteed.
Third, we must resolutely strive for our own interestsPolitics is not a dinner party, but a real calculation and counter-calculation, so the politician group pursues naked realism. If a politician cannot work for the welfare of the country, no matter how well the reasoning is said, no matter how good the charity is, it is not qualified. The main reasons why Lula was able to win over Bolsonaro are: when Lula was in power (2003-2010), Brazil's economy developed well; The Bolsonaro era encountered an epidemic, and the economy was not good. Now Brazilians want Lula to continue to develop Brazil's economy. Lula, of course, also knew what the Brazilians were thinking, and set out on a journey to make trouble. Why do you want to make trouble? Mainly because the predecessor Bolsonaro (known as the Trump of Brazil) followed the United States, but it did not work well. Lula can't continue to follow the United States, then the economy will definitely not work. But at the same time, Lula could not break with the United States, and he could not afford the consequences. For Lula, then, the best option is to maximize the benefits between the United States and China and Russia. For this reason, soon after Lula took office, he led a large delegation to visit China to strengthen relations between China and Brazil. Because for Brazil, China is a high-quality big customer. Brazil's food and resources are in high demand in the Chinese market.
At the same time, Lula did not follow the West in sanctioning Russia, but took the opportunity to buy Russian energy at a low price. Taking diesel as an example, before the Russian-Ukrainian war, Russian diesel was mainly sold to the West. After the outbreak of the war, Russia was sanctioned by the West, and Brazil took the opportunity to import large quantities of cheap diesel from Russia. The data shows that in 2022, Brazil imported 1010,000 tons, with a purchase amount of 95 million US dollars. In 2023, Brazil's imports of diesel from Russia increased to 6.1 million tons, with a purchase value of US$4.5 billion. This increase has made Brazil the largest importer of Russian diesel, but the cost has also fallen significantly.
Sergio Araujo, president of the Brazilian Association of Fuel Importers, said that the results (of cheap diesel imports from Russia) are already being reflected in the wallets of Brazilians. The war in Ukraine has led to Western sanctions against Russia, whose vast resources and energy resources can only choose buyers from the third world. To put it bluntly, the main ones are China, India, and Brazil. In contrast, Chinese buyers are the most generous and do not take the opportunity to bargain sharply. India and Brazil took the opportunity to scavenge for wool and bargain sharply. India not only buys Russian oil at a low price, but even tries to forcibly pay in rubles, which is of little use to Russia, which makes Russia very annoyed. Brazil has a good relationship with Russia because it has benefited a lot from it. It can be seen that Lula wants to invite Putin to attend this year's G20 summit in Brazil, which can be regarded as relieving Russia at the international level. Since the International Court of Justice issued an arrest warrant for Putin, it has become more difficult for Putin to travel to countries in Europe, the Americas and Africa. If Putin can safely travel to Brazil (and is also a member of the International Court of Justice), it means that the ICT's arrest warrant will be a piece of waste paper.
However, after such a fuss, Putin's prospects for going to Brazil have been overshadowed. Because Lavrov's plane could not be refueled, it means that Lula** does not have absolute control in Brazil. In any case, Brazil's relationship with Russia will not change anytime soon, because Brazil can still reap a lot of benefits from Russia. In short, Lula, who has made a comeback, has a deep understanding of the global village landscape, is a politician who is well versed in the great power game, and is hell-bent on the interests of Brazil. Although his style is not as bizarre as that of Modi or Erdogan, his skill and rank are no longer below the two. If Modi represents the style of the East and India and Erdogan the style of the West and Turkey, then Lula is taking Brazil to the role of the Southern Emperor.
