Ukraine has a democratically elected government and president who isn’t a dictator.

(I’m not trying to justify US action in Venezuela here. Just answering your question)

Ukraine hasn’t had an election in 6 years.

  • That's true, but how can elections be safely conducted during an active phase of the war?

    Only during 2025 russian forces launched over 54,000 long-range drones and over 1,900 missiles

      This would be a lot more compelling of an argument if the Ukrainians were not trying to use social media to PsyOp the world into believing that life in Ukraine is going on as usual.

      I could accept the idea that an election can’t be effectively fortified during a war, but if the war was as popular as the Ukrainian government wants me to believe, why are men barred from leaving the country and being abducted off the streets to serve as conscripts?
