Ukrainian government in exile will defeat Putin in western hearts and minds.
The most dangerous weapon on earth, friendship with America.
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."
🅱️olsonaro is the only lib who accepted his defeat accordingly lol
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
He did, but he got "sick" and went to a hospital. Then he saw the medical bill, then he got healthy again really fast after that, and his visa expired so he had to return to Brazil. And some weeks later he lost his political rights until 2030 (He lost it two times, now he can't run in 2030, which means his rights will only return in 2034).
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.
No he didn’t what are you talking about, it took months for someone close to him to actually talk as if he wasn’t the president anymore, and he still avoided such topics to almost a year
They believe that the good guys always win, and they also believe themselves to always be the good guys. Hence the mental gymnastics.
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
Or: "we won because Russia lost a billion men", while the offcial numbers are closer to a casualty rate of 1:8 with Ukraine losing the 8.
"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.
As a consolation prize they will get some ivy league expat that hasn't seen Ukraine in decades to be charge of the IMF programs there, you know, just for a local touch.
