Ukrainian government in exile will defeat Putin in western hearts and minds.
lib cope is always funny. They can’t ever just take the the L. Its always, “this is hiw we actually won,” or the classic “it’s complicated.”
Did he? I don’t remember him saying “I’ve lost, it’s alright guys” to his supporters. He’ve been saying there was a fraud in 2018 (which he fucking WON) and 2022 elections; he never came in public and said “Hey guys, could you please stop blocking roads, stop making protests all over Brazil and stop asking for a coup in front of the army barracks?”.
After he lost, he simply vanished for almost a month, and neither the Federal Police nor the army under his command did something to stop the protests. In fact, an army general came in public and said to Bolsonaro supporters: “Don’t lose faith” - even though they were causing chaos all over the country.
At last, we had Jan 8, which is equivalent to USA’s Capitol riot. Bolsonaro supporters invaded the congress, the presidential palace and the supreme court, and trashed the places (fortunately, no one was working there this day). All of these things wouldn’t happen if Bolsonaro came in public and accepted his defeat.
That’s, not what happened. We didn’t get our crappier version of the capitol invasion because he admitted defeat
No, Bolsonaro refused to accept defeat, he tried everything to reverse the election results. Until the Army, the Air Force and the neoliberal Ghouls told him to accept defeat. Even so, he still tried to stage a coup in the government on January 8th.
And unlike in the US, there was an actual document that the military wanted Lula to sign in order to order the army to take over the government. It’s a bit like the one they made Pedro Castillo sign, but it’s not the same thing.
Lula decided not to sign and chose to use his powers as president to intervene in state security and order the police to repress and arrest the Bolsonaro supporters. And so they ended up being arrested, forced to shower and vaxxed.
In a few years we will see Finland vs USSR levels of copium saying Ukraine actually won while losing nearly a quarter of its territory
Here’s how Ukraine can still win
“You don’t need to reclaim your territory to declare victory” Giving flashbacks of NATO in Afghanistan, “mission success, victory”
In fact, considering how much control over their national resources and economic policy they are going to give up to then IMF, Ukranie doesn’t need any of its territory to win.
