Brazilian Judge Orders Release of Former President Lula Da Silva

He is a thief and a corrupt. But given that the current government is not far from being the same, I really don't care too much if he is released.

With Lula or the Bozo, Brazil will remain being the country of the future, never the country of the present. So happy I ran away from that place.

Venezuela (rightly) gets most of the attention in South America right now, but I find Brazil's path from seemingly stable and booming to where it is now is much more intriguing as a case study.

Now that the elections are gone, there's no reason to keep him locked up anymore. It was just to remove the candidate most likely to win, instead of facing him in a fair election. Now it's easier to just let him go.

In 2022 there's probably new ways to prevent him from participating again.
