Not sure this tells us anything at all, but some seem to think it might mean something that Zelensky did not clap any of the 5 times Lula had to pause for applause 🤷‍♂️

Lula criticized by some — even some on left — for his many travels in first year. After UNGA address he insists that Brazil must never withdraw again, that it must be present everywhere, must host everyone, it must be involved in major issues. In short, don’t expect fewer trips

I think this is right, although I took Lula's denunciation of 'racism, intolerance and xenophobia' as a dig at the kind of reactionary nationalism Modi stands for and with whom I don't think Lula wants to share the mantle of democratic Global South leadership.

I’m going to write more about the speech, but it’s interesting that Lula specifically criticized unilateral sanctions quite harshly as counterproductive

Noteworthy comments from Fernando Haddad on 🇺🇸🇧🇷 relationship. Praises Biden econ measures and approach to labor issues, citing initiative with Lula to be announced this week. Says makes no sense for 🇺🇸 not to see 🇧🇷 as key strategic partner, not least bc of 🇨🇳 interest in 🇧🇷

Lula offered Wednesday afternoon for a meeting with Zelensky. Problem is Zelensky is supposed to head to DC Wednesday afternoon. This difficult relationship might not see a breakthrough this week after all

Lula has reportedly offered Zelensky 2 times to meet, one on Monday and one on Tuesday. We’ll see if it happens! oglobo.globo.com/mundo/noticia/…

Ahead of this week, which promises to be a very busy and promising few days for Lula, I am thinking back to this piece I wrote 4 years ago when Bolsonaro first addressed the General Assembly. The world turns... jacobin.com/2019/09/bolson…
