The clause you speak of was inserted into the constitution AFTER the coup led by the Svoboda controlled junta.

It may also come as a shock that the coup was unconstitutional.

Russia actually HAS elections. Putin is massively popular even by Western polling, and got more popular when he upheld Donbass and Crimean democratic secession militarily. The first democratic referendum in the Soviet Union saw almost every Republic choose to stay, INCLUDING UKRAINE.

Gorbachev dissolved the entire Soviet Union against the democratic mandate of the people.

The West only sees democracy as a cudgel to steal natural resources when it suits them. Democracy to you is just a selective privilege enjoyed on the backs of the oppressed.

masturbatory gestures

The people of the Donbass are also people. What’s your point? Once a nation or border is established its somehow undemocratic to change that? People being tied to land is serfdom, feudalism. Land is tied to people.

Mince words and gishgallop all day, a coup is a coup is a coup is a coup. And FFS, I’m older than “Ukraine”.

And even it’s founding was undemocratic. The first Soviet Referendum saw almost unanimous consensus by all the Republics to stay in the USSR, INCLUDING UKRAINE.

I guess it didn’t go like Gorbachev wanted, so the pizzahut munching drunk imbecile threw it out.

America has never once supported democracy that wasn’t profitable to America’s oligarchs, and always at the expense of the workers everywhere.

Ground dragon bones make me hard AF.

“Hybrid warfare” is your “It’s coming right for us!” Give me a break.

Millions of former Ukrainians stopped being “Ukrainian” the moment their democratically elected government was overthrown in a US bankrolled coup.

Democracy is derived from the individual and nothing else, not race, not religion, not ethnicity, not arbitrary borders, and not even nations themselves.

People have a right to exist, not nations.

No, just France’s African serfs.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I think the normal method for determining the democratic human right of self determination is actually VOTING.

They can vote in Eurovision singing contests, but not for their government. Makes perfect sense. Sure. Yeah. Okay.

You can’t see it, but I’m making masturbatory motions with my hand.

It’s probably just for erectile dysfunction pill marketing. This would be a gold mine for them.

France is in Europe, Professor.

America has been balls deep in the Sahel this whole time. The CIA was a participant in the murder of Thomas Sankara. WTF do you think the purpose of the Pentagon’s AFRICOM is? Why did we have military bases there? Fighting terrorists that we’re arming?

You are absolutely defending necolonialism and neoliberalism. Every aspect of public institutions in a Ukraine has been systematically privatized and bought up by Blackrock. Look it up. Their grandchildren’s grandchildren will still be paying off generational debt from predatory military and IMF loans.

Annexation would make that disappear overnight.🫰💨 And that’s the reason their corporate neofeudal lords refuse to let them sue for peace.

Just let Ukrainians vote, FFS.

Japan occupied China and committed genocide.

Japan occupied the Philippines and committed genocide.

Don’t forget Korea, same thing.

Taiwan is China, only occupied by a warlord after the war. China has patiently and peacefully waited for reunification.

You seem to think China simply existing after all this is a threat.

And same with Russia, every war with Russia has always come from Europe attacking it. Now is no different. And the reason is obvious, same reason we always attack someone.👇

Hanging in France? Hanging?

I think you meant Somalia, but yeah. 💯

You export blame like you export war and genocide.

Putin is your Emanuel Goldstein.

ElMundo is a right wing rag spreading lies on behalf of Zionists, all because Spain opposes genocide.

America paying the Czech Republic to spread propaganda about China is not “information manipulation”?

Get this dogshit out of here.

A liberal democracy is impossible under the conditions America and Europe imposes.

They’re just NOW getting rid of the CFA franc!

America necessitates a strongman, elected or not, just to remain sovereign, just to keep us from taking all their natural resources and enslaving the nation as whole under neoliberal feudalism.

For an American, you’d have to imagine omnipotent space invaders with an unstoppable armada to even begin to imagine what it’s like to be a developing nation with natural resources today.

We had the nerve to parade a black general in front of Congress to say that Traore is using the funds from gold mines he nationalized to “protect the junta”. He spent them on an agricultural green revolution that has made Burkina Faso food independent. He’s creating dams and irrigation canals, transforming them into a bread basket of the Sahel. He’s given free tractors to farmers, built grain processing plants.

Your rhetoric is such bullshit, especially when America arms over 80% of dictatorships globally. We are the LEAST democratic nation in the world for this reason alone. Democracy is not a universal principle to us, just a privilege you enjoy on the backs of the oppressed. It’s only a selective cudgel weaponized to steal natural resources.

Our not-so-proxy war with Russia is no different.

There’s actually far more soldier deaths, as the Discord Leaks showed. The Ukraine War is nothing but lies.

But yes, so little civilian deaths is unheard of, and almost all from Ukraine’s retribution on their own supposed people.

China brokered peace between Saudi Arabia and Yemen before America and Israel arbitrarily attacked Iran, triggering Saudi attacks on Yemen. China has consistently pushed for mediation and diplomacy at the UN.

America is out of control and needs to be stopped, and this didn’t start with Trump.

We currently arms over 80% of all dictatorships.

America is the biggest threat to global democracy, security, and peace globally.

WTF? It was closer to a quarter million, with only 4,000+ U.S. deaths.

We killed a quarter million babies from sanctions alone, something Madeleine Albright infamously called “worth it”.

These them?

They can theoretically sell oil to China only through the Pentagon, which now controls all of Venezuela’s oil.

She gave away the farm. Why aren’t they dragging her out into the street? WTF?

Russia does not have compulsory conscription. Did you think that was true just based on your spoon fed propaganda? Is this an emotional truth for you?

Russia and China are liberators and peacemakers, respectfully.

Just in the Sahel, Russia is helping bring to a close centuries of unending colonialism by Europe and America.

The unipolar world order is over, and I personally think it couldn’t have come soon enough.
