| Topic | The Russia Ukraine War appears to have begun |

I swear I'm not trying to be a dummy here, but if Russia had funded one side of that civil war and it had won, and then they got to hand pick the next guy to run the country, would you have any doubts about the election being "free and fair"? Or in this case, what if they picked their guy(s) first, and then started to meddle in their civil war? There is a really easy way of demonstrating that Ukraine is democratic. In 2019, Ukraine voted out Poroshenko who was the incumbent following 2014 and his party, and voted in Zelenskiy, along with his party largely consisting if political newcomers. The elections were independently verified as being free and fair and in fact what shady doings there were had actually been to help Poroshenko, who lost regardless. So in essence the USs guy -lost- which says it all. Overall no this analogy is not based in reality. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard! |
