Hi Glenn, Lula honeymoon was short because he expected that the EU and Biden.would receive him with open arms. Didn't happen.

He thought that money would flow in because he was the "good" guy who replaced Bolsonaro.
Big mistake.

US and EU were having problems of their own. Lula was not happy after he US visit and went to China.

The Chinese gladly got Lula onboard. But note Lula is a shameless guy. He is still expecting the US offer some goodies for him to tone down his pro-China voice.

The author is a leftist by the way. And while Brazilians are mocking Lula's "free style diplomacy", the author tries ro make Lula sound reasonable. He is not.

What the Chinese promised Lula probably was to import more from Brazil and, of course, they need Brazil if things get hot in the Taiwan straight.

My opinion is that Brazil does not have to play sides as, beside having china as its main trade partner, it exports a lot to the EU and the US.

Expect Brazil not to veer far off from the US as they have common defense, technology and economic interests that neither Lula nor any US administration will change.

Why is he talking about the war and peace in Europe? Because Lula loves to play the "statesman" he loves the limelight.
Not that the Chinese, Americans and Europeans do not know that.

Brazil has nothing to do with that situation created by the US and EU and Russia. Let them solve. Who wants Russians out for a condition for peace is the US and the EU.

Of course diplomatically telling the obvious, we want peace.
