  • Another Lula bad move portrayed as a victory. The price of groceries were going down in Brazil specifically because of the tariffs.

    Now he has secured an end to those tariffs which mostly affected only the comprador agribusiness sector, while selling off more of the country, from water companies, to oil in the Amazon, and now the rare earths deals.

    The US isn’t even Brazil’s main trading partner. This is only a win for the Brazilian agribusiness (fuck them) and the US citizenry. Brazil itself should self-impose tariffs for exportation until every citizen can afford groceries in one of the most fertile countries in the world.



















  • ITT: people confusing remarks by a parlamentarian as official statements by the Ministry of Defense or the head of the executive.

    The red line about deep strikes has been around ever since the beginning of the war, with only minor adjustment of nuclear policy since the Storm Shadow/ATACMS deployment back in November last year. Instead of nuclear war all we got was the live test of the Oreshnik.

    The current Russian leadership is cautious to a fault when it comes to nuclear escalation. A single parlamentarian is not going to change that, and the headline is misleading. Instead of being smug about it for the 100th time since the beginning of the war, pray that the UA army doesn’t get their hands on a dirty bomb.
