I'm not in the mood for stuff, so I'll be brief.

Those « historical and material reasons » you speak of aren’t justification enough in light of their recent actions. It wasn’t even their seat, but the ussr’s. Which they are not the continuation of in any real way.

One of the country with the most nukes. It's not about deserving or justifying anything, it's because either Russia is talking in there, or they're on the outside looking in. I don't think any nuclear superpower should be on the outside looking in. The USA comment was made in jest because they have by far done worse crimes than Russia worldwide.

I’m a pacifist, but, and I cannot believe I am saying this, you can’t use a ceasefire against someone unilaterally invading another sovereign nation. Does this actually need to be stated?

I also can't believe you're saying this as it is so obviously wrong. By that measure every single American settler state should be militarily opposed by their original nations. Of course they don't do it though, because at this point this level of moral stubbornness and lack of pragmatism would be self-genocidal.

Democracy should not depend on blind trust of public officials, not matter how well-intentioned.

This whole thing is completely irrelevant since you probably think the exact same thing of every other security council member. I can't find a single polling on the Ukraine situation in Brasil, probably because we generally don't care that much if Europeans are killing Europeans in Europe. That's their problem not our problem and his inaction there at least represents our lack of interest. I would rather have a communist proletarian government (as you probably can tell), but to make this about Lula in a discussion about the security council reeks of European.

I am personally quite worried that lula would express some opinions that show a clear lack of solidarity for the ukrainian people

That's where you're mistaken, there's solidarity, we send a lot of aid and the main foreign policy on that area is for an immediate unconditional ceasefire. This is probably the point where you're going to reply with "but a ceasefire is unrealistic!" and that's the part where Lula and NATO disagree on what will save the most Ukrainian/Russian lives.

It’s no coincidence that there has been increased activity around taiwan. It’s also no coincidence that far-right populists have been having their way in the ballot box in many countries. And it’s no coincidence that there have been putches in central africa, which, mind you, are supported by wagner mercenaries, and we have seen russian flags fly there.

Yes, Lula wanting a ceasefire and not wanting in on this war is what caused all of this. Not even going to explore the differences of all those events because if you come here to try and peg this on a completely unrelated Brazilian president just because he doesn't support your pet war, you probably don't care that much about those events either.

True solidarity is solidarity everywhere, because true authoritarianism is increased vulnerability to further authoritarianism everywhere.

Which is why we should dismantle the USA and EU since they're the most authoritarian authorities to ever author authoritarianisms. True solidarity is solidarity everywhere, where was that solidarity during the 2015 coup in Brazil from Ukraine or your other favourite countries?
