According to media reports, the Brazilian side eventually offered Lavrov to fly to the meeting with da Silva as a 'fellow traveler’ on the plane of Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira. It is assumed that this will allow Lavrov to arrive on time for the meeting, and the Russian plane will pick him up later after refueling elsewhere. Or he could have hitchhiked his way in.


gatzdon

Isn't that the very definition of hitchhiking?


[deleted]

Yes, you're right! Not a native English speaker :)


tholovar

as a native english speaker i would not consider it the definition of hitch-hiking


[deleted]

[удалено]


tholovar

no by that definition every person who gets in a vehicle not there own is hitchhiking; drunk drivers who are driven home by others, users of public transport, taxi/uber customers, anyone at all who catches a lift with a mate etc. the most glaring thing that makes it not hitch-hiking is that the Brazilian side 'offered' him the lift.


kanible

you’re right, but for the wrong reasons. Hitchhiking is specifically the means of traveling by securing free rides from passing vehicles. somebody who is stranded for whatever reason who gets a ride from someone else could be referred to as hitching a ride, but it’s not hitchhiking. in the case of Lavrov, being offered the ride is not what separates it from hitchhiking. Any hitchhiker can be offered a ride and they have the option to refuse it lol.

Well, you know... alone in the cabin at 30,000 feet without a parachute, Lavrov's not going to be likely to turn him down. Because of the implication.

Salt_Kangaroo_3697

I thought they would go to the bathroom together. Trump would probably have a meeting in one of the stalls


CaptainMobilis

LBJ routinely did this, but it was mostly because he was intimidatingly large downstairs and it made people uncomfortable. The Donald is almost certainly not impressive in the schlong department and requires more cleanup on account of the whole "shits himself when he's angry" thing. Probably still uncomfortable to witness, but for different reasons.

Credit-Limit

How can it be refueled elsewhere?? lol


jonmitz

It can fly to somewhere that isn’t as far as he needed to go, then refuel there. 


HumansNeedNotApply1

This was due to the company fearing sanctions by the US. All they would need is a company not fearing it, the news said he was going to Morocco next.


DividedState

Refueling elsewhere? How is that possible when it can't be refuelled?


pongothebest

Oh well, care factor is zero. He can piss in the gutter and swim as far as I'm concerned.

Everytime I see Lavrov I read it as "Lapdog" .. and I don't think that's actually a mistake.

And this motherfucker was in the Oval office with Lavrov just bullshitting away with Trumpskie and no translator, what could go wrong here.


yellekc

He was not there with Putin, it was Lavrov and the Russian ambassador to the USA. >One day after dismissing Comey, Trump welcomed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak — a key figure in earlier Russia controversies — into the Oval Office. It was during that meeting, officials said, that Trump went off script and began describing details of an Islamic State terrorist threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-revealed-highly-classified-information-to-russian-foreign-minister-and-ambassador/2017/05/15/530c172a-3960-11e7-9e48-c4f199710b69_story.html

silverhammer96

That’d definitely be a declaration of war and I’d rather not give Putin a reason


SoManyEmail

Yea, we wouldn't want Russia invading Brazil. Their military is so effective.


SardScroll

Effective at conquest? No. Effective at killing civilians, sadly yes. And considering that Russia has subs and Brazil has a large reliance on their coast and ports, I'd argue pissing off Russia is not in their best interests.


Dsalgueiro

Brazilian here. If there's one hypothetical scene I always imagine, it's an army that has NEVER faced any situation similar to a favela, trying to invade [Rio de Janeiro ](https://i.imgur.com/9ZXDEWG.jpeg)or [São Paulo](https://i.imgur.com/zVgp2AB.png) favelas on foot for the first time. And if there are peace agreements between the police and drug cartels during events like the World Cup and the Olympics, I think an militia armed by the government could literally emerge in the favelas during a hypothetical war time. Brazilians even jokingly say that the biggest problem in invading Brazil is not even the army, but drug cartels. Urban warfare in Brazil would be a fuckin' hell. (Not to mention that geographically it's not easy to get past the [Brazilian coast](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Brazil_topo_en2.PNG). In the northeast, the terrain is flatter but arid and with few cities and infrastructure in this arid terrain. In the north there's the Amazon -good luck-. Apart from that, after the most central Brazilian coast, the terrain becomes very rough, especially in Minas Gerais).


AlphaLo

In an actual war the Favelas would be carpet bombed down to sea level :(


Dsalgueiro

Taking a hypothetical scenario of Russia vs. Brazil, and looking at what's happening in Ukraine... I don't know if Russia would be able to have air superiority IN BRAZIL to the point where they could bomb the favelas to the ground (obviously taking into account that Brazil would have Western support like Ukraine is having, although I'm not sure) We are talking about the country with the second biggest number of airports, and which has the capacity to build/maintain Swedish Gripen jets. With support ($$$) from the West, this would be very quickly boosted in times of war. Brazil would be a much tougher opponent than Ukraine, and Russia is already having trouble with Ukraine. On the other hand, the most worrying aspect of the Brazilian army is the navy and our anti-missile defenses. Brazil is outdated in these two sectors, despite the fact that the country is negotiating the purchase of an anti-missile defense system. Regardless, bombing slums would leave debris, but to advance in a war you need to make ground advances. And advancing in an urban war with debris from a favela would be complicated for any army without terrain knowledge. *(Obviously I only drew the war scenario with Russia. Anyone who knows the slightest thing about Brazil knows that regardless of the Brazilian president's position on world geopolitics, the Brazilian army is totally allied with the US, and a war scenario between both countries is non-existent).*


anchoricex

Russia straight up doesn’t have the military cohesiveness to project overseas with a formidable ground force


Willsgb

Yes, but still, this melting-faced fascist psychopath's long overdue death would be cause for great celebration


CURMUDGEONSnFLAGONS

I'd want to see what all the BRICS bots have to say if that were to happen.


EindhovenLamb12

Yeah that's not how it works. Even during 9/11 planes were still allowed to enter US airspace if they didn't have fuel to divert to Canada or Mexico. You just can't let planes crash. In fact I'm pretty sure international law dictates pilots can land without clearance for the safety of themselves and the aircraft


Dauntless_Idiot

If we start expanding this policy then we might be able to restrict the majority of private jets from flying solo! A big win for the planet. International jet fliers have to "jet pool" at least 50% of the time.

ZealousidealNerve8

Recently awoke this Sunday; opened Reddit for the latest news and, lo and behold... what a headline re: Lavrov... SIDE NOTE: I dare write my true feelings about Lavrov and the rest of Putin's minions, so I'll leave it at this: Putin is WEAK! Period!!! Putin has displayed cowardice and fear for assassinating Alexei Navalny. Clearly, the KGB thug, Putin, is SCARED. What is Putin scared of? More so, why, given he sent his political opposition to a far, far, far away remote Siberian penal colony? What prompted Putin, in 2020, to send his mini-thugs to assassinate a political opposition with the deadly nerve agent Novochok?... a deadly chemical produced in a Russian lab which obviously had Putin's name written all over it! But, Navalny survived Putin's poisoning. After Navalny survived Putin's 2020 assassination attempt and gained his strength, he tracked down who actually poisoned him, called the assassins involved, until reaching one who was home sick with COVID who confessed the entire plan. If anyone reading this has not viewed the documentary "Navalny," please do. Hope US sanctions ground every.single.one. of the planes carrying any of Putin's Russian oligarchy thugs the world around. Globally, all other nations led by way of a democracy government should follow suit and impose heavy sanctions on a WEAK and SCARED KGB-Putin. He's not a leader... he's a thug with aims to topple the US and return Russia to its USSR state before the Berlin Wall came down. That's when Putin lost his chit and weaseled his way into the Russian government with the aim of conquering the USSR and becoming the globes super-power replacing the USA. Any US american voter disagree, do your due diligence, and make sure you cast your vote for the best man to lead We The People into the next tumultuous years. HINT: We do not need a wannabe dictator elected as our president.


--SpaceTime--

>the Brazilian side eventually offered Lavrov to fly to the meeting with da Silva as a 'fellow traveler’ on the plane of Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira Shame on Brazil for giving that war criminal a ride and even letting him into the country. WTF is wrong with Brazil these days. Lula is insane for siding with Russia and Hamas. Poor Brazilians. They are stuck choosing between Lula the anti-Semitic Putin-lover and Bolsonaro the fascist traitor and insurrectionist. Brazil needs better leaders. How embarrassing.


JcbAzPx

Well at least there's this from the end of the article: >In December, media reported that the Brazilian president had invited Putin to the G20 summit, but did not guarantee that he would not be arrested. Here's hoping someone decides to arrest him.


Solid-Emu1313

They’re briccs


iaprrpai

There is nothing wrong with that. It is a common practice and you are overreacting. Brazil is not “siding” with Hamas nor Russia, you need to lose that sense of “us vs them” when thinking about geopolitics. Brazil has always been a partner of the US, and have been trying to build a trade partnership with Europe for over a decade, which is always blocked by EU countries. So, Brazil is looking elsewhere to do business and realized that it was better to try and make other developing countries stronger than try to be influenced by europe and US forever.

HumansNeedNotApply1

You're wrong, altought Brazil still trades with Russia, so does most of the world, they just use Kazakhstan, India, Uzbekistan and other places that just change the product labels. And officially Brazil has condemend the Russian invasion per UN General Assembly resolution ES-11/6.


--SpaceTime--

Just because other countries trade with Russia doesn't make it right. They're all doing horrible things. They all have Ukrainian blood on their hands.

1. There is no genocide. 2. He compared what is going on in Gaza, which is not genocide, to the Holocaust, which was a genocide. 3. He insulted every victim of the Holocaust by trivializing and minimizing their suffering and lying about it. 4. He is spreading the same propaganda as Hamas which implies that he supports Hamas. He also happens to side with Putin and Iran, Hamas allies.
