Jesus fuckin christ.
I also wonder why Ukraine needs to be a perfect democracy that it can be sovereign. You guys make it sound like Putin is somehow sensible and responsible guy.
I can only wonder the mental acrobatics some people have with this situation.
If you want to compare, the Freedom House has some good data.
Ps. And Germany because people have some twisted notions about it too. Seems that Germany gets better scores than US. That’s the hypocrisy.
I’m out.
That’s why I said “kinda”. Russia pretends to be democracy, they even held “elections” in occupied Ukraine.
Of course Putin’s speaks and actions are against the base values of democracy. He has also said he doesn’t appreciate western democracies and sees them weak.

Blob Media hit on “Ukraine corruption” so much before the war because “anti-corruption” probes, NGOs & prosecutors were key to securing political control of Ukraine. When the war hit, the far bigger blockage to control was territorial loss to Russia. So, “no more corruption.”
That picture modifies the truth on purpose, I would even claim it lies.
News about the corruption are still around and are no surprise for anybody who’s followed the country for a while.
I don’t see how this acts for justification for the war, or killing/raping/deporting civilians.
It’s not like we need to choose which one (Ukraine or Russia) is ”good”. Ukraine is a flawed country and Russia is a dictatorship. The invasion has no justification.
Now I need to stop writing in here. Hahah.
Was JFK justified in blocking the USSR from making Cuba a military instillation 90 miles away from Florida?
From my perspective the majority of Cold wars military actions weren’t justified.
And US did not conquer Cuba.
Yes but was on the brink of helping to start WW lll.
True.
Luckily now the threat of 3ww is very low.
Maybe lower than the Cuba missile crisis but I wouldn’t say very low especially since the blow up at the WH yesterday.
Russia does not have the power for 3ww, it would be a suicide, even without nukes. And none of the EU/NATO members are in war with Russia now.
I would say that Taiwan represents more risk for a world war currently, since there are the two actual superpowers as rivals.
And who is to say they wouldn’t resort to using nukes?
And apart from having boots on the ground, It is the U.S.who is fighting a proxy war.
It’s always a possibility, but it would be a suicide. So not likely.
Russia has an arsenal that matches the U.S. Not to mention that moron Biden pushed Russia and China into each others arms. China outnumbers the U.S. in population 4 to 1.
For the U.S. to be the catalyst. It is the U.S. that would be committing suicide.
Hypothetically: US + Europe would be stronger than China + Russia. With nukes it would be mutual assured destruction.
Not that anyone would want a large scale conflict.
LOL Maine pretends it is a democracy too. Our Secretary of State, who banned Trump from the primary ballot, even had a tshirt made up.
She wants Maine to believe that voter id is racist.
Please send UN peacekeepers here in November l.
And I still know more than you.

X poster says “massive turnout” for protest against Mills. True?
By Maine standards, yes. About 500 or so people.
I can’t recall anything like this in Maine except for left wing demonstrations. Lewistons BLM March had maybe 200-300. In the 1920s the Maine Klan got about 200 together in one spot, necessitating DEI coordinators in government 100 years later.
He cited the Monroe Doctrine and the blockade saved the world, including the USSR.
