Lords of War
It is hard to find the full transcript of the speech of Brazilian President Lula Da Silva of the other day, but here is a snippet for you to vote for it if you agree with what he says here:
"The time has come to redefine the United Nations to restore its credibility; otherwise, Trump is right. International institutions are not fulfilling the role for which they were created. And why? Because the five countries on the Security Council, which should set an exemplary standard, do not. Neither the invasion of Iraq, nor that of France and the United Kingdom in Libya, nor Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, nor Israel’s massacre in Gaza went through the Security Council. The lords of peace have become lords of war. In Africa, there are countries with over 120 million inhabitants, and none are on the Security Council. Neither are Brazil, Germany, or India… And we must do away with the veto power. The geopolitics of 1945 don’t apply to 2026."
