Reply to comment by Felador in Brazil’s Lula snubs Olaf Scholz with Ukraine war remarks by Houseboat87

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
