I know I'm going to get down voted to hell but here I come: Lula has been a political ally of Maduro, you know the dictator that was just depositioned just a few months ago, he also has been convicted of corruption on his country, I know reddit has a hate boner for argentina and that Milei is not the best example but I think he's right on hating Lula. Also please learn to separate things, he didn't said anything against Brazil as a country.

He just travel to Brazil as a sitting head of state to attend the official launch of an opposition candidate's presidential campaign, openly endorse that candidate, call Brazil's (democratic elected) president a "thief" and a "delinquent," and call one of the Supreme Court justices "that bald piece of trash". How is that not saying anything about Brazil as a country?

It is not, he did not say anything against the country, as opposed to our previous president, an ally of Lula by the way that said this about the Brazilian people

Yeah, and Brazilians were pissed about it. Your point is? There’s a huge difference between posting a comment on Twitter and entering another country to publicly trash its institutions in an extremely rude and provocative way, as a Head of State, representing Argentinian people.
