It appears that if you cross Putin you "fall out of a window" whereas the people in his own country Trump doesn't like just get legal annoyance.

That's not great, and nobody should pretend it is - but I'd rather be imprisoned for what I believe than thrown out of a window.

> Trump doesn't like just get legal annoyance.

Until now you mean ... the windows are approaching fast. Let's not forget that his henchmen are already killing unarmed civilians in the streets.

Yeah. Putin and Lula are strong allies. And suddenly the people who spent the last ten years shrieking about TrumPutin have nothing to say about Lula's attempt to push Brazil into the Russian/Chinese/Iranian power bloc.

So now you are the one shrieking? Or what is the point of your comment?

> “I highly doubt that Russia, China, or the United States possess an army as victorious as the army of democracy in this country,” Lula said, thanking the voters.[1]

These sound like the words of a real strong ally for sure.
