It's been interesting to watch Brazilians revel in being rid of Bolsonaro while also reconcile vile shit like this at the same time on this website.

Brazil isn't a military super power in case you haven't thought about it. It has very high upkeep for the extensive land and sea frontier it has, unlike the colonizers who have 10x less land mass and twice as much money with 10x less people.

The unwillingness to provide military assistance is completely understandable.

It's the hairsplitting that mirrors rhetoric from countries like China that is reprehensible.

I am not sure Germany ever colonized anything in South America, but correct me if I am wrong.

It seems they didn't, but why that matter? There's also ongoing neocolonialism.

Because this is a visit by Scholz and he obviously does not come from a colonizer country in South America? And then moving the goal posts just to have a point?

I think you’re just convinced this needs to be a colonization topic when frankly it just isn’t

Vile air shit like "being neutral" and "not getting involved"?

This is anything but neutral.

It's basically parroting the Russian propaganda line.

You're an excellent example of the phenomenon I'm referring to.

Obviously not.

Just the Russian propaganda.

The official reasons for the war are clearly stated by Putin on camera. You have to try very hard and still be somewhat cognitively challenged to claim that “the world has very little information”. You have all the information, this is literally the most documented conflict in history of warfare.
