Lula declares war!
Comparing himself to Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap, Commander of the People’s Army of Vietnam and nicknamed the “Red Napoleon”, Lula was quoted in today’s press that he has declared war on the Lava-Jato investigators.
The comments were made in a conversation with Senator Lindbergh Faria (PT-RJ) who expressed his support and said that Lula could count him “in”.
On the heels of my blog post yesterday, Lula’s declaration makes me look prophetic! (Except for the “Giap” part) His reference to Giap suggests that he is at least thinking of guerrilla operations as an alternative.
Because Lula waxes “tough” in an on-again-off-again manner, it is not possible to know when he is serious and when he is playing to the grandstand. Nevertheless, I would not dismiss his declaration out of hand. Some of the more pugnacious hardliners in the PT might just think victory is possible if they choose to attack the system with violence.
It certainly won’t be good for business.
And the bombastic comparison to Giap, considered a brilliant military strategist, was a real stretch!!
In any case, I recommend you have a serious conversation with your security team. As I suggested in a previous post, if Dilma is impeached neither she nor Lula have anywhere to go!
