It’s not comparable.

Ukraine is fighting an invasion against a foe that flattened several hundred towns, and a city; that bombed a civilian theater which was clearly marked as having women and children inside; and which pounded a maternity hospital one week after a Ukrainian film crew proved it was still fully operating as a maternity hospital not as a base for Azov.

Its constitution, like the British constitution did during World War 2, and like many others, allows elections to be postponed until it’s safe to hold elections without making the general public an easy target.

You’re talking from an incredibly lucky position. America has come under two spot attacks in a century: Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Cry the rest of us a river. When the USA has to hold elections while undergoing sustained aerial bombardment from a determined enemy, you might finally get some real world perspective (or, as the rest of us would call it, common sense) and put in an amendment to the Constitution to allow postponement too.

Sure, Zelenskyy is exploiting a situation but that situation exists because Russia is hell bent on taking over large parts of Ukraine.

And, the same criticism can be levelled at the FAKE governments of the FAKE republics (LPR and DPR).

Don’t know if you noticed but they both spent eight years blocking free and fair elections even after telling the Kremlin that for two years straight their “existential threat” from the Azov brigades translated to a paltry single digit body count per month...

Over a 300 mile long front.

And now they’re holding elections they’re going door to door with gunmen asking folks to vote for Putin on the spot ... or else.

For some unfathomable reason I just don't care.

Yeah, if you lived in the US instead of Britain you would be a Democrat, for you are a firm believer in two-tiered systems of justice.

I'm so glad we broke away from you all. Your woke beliefs are why you are about to fall, and they have infected this nation as well, which is why we are about to fall also. But we all will fall because of the tyrants from within, not the tyrants that you have grown to know.

I hope you live a long time in the world that you are allowing to take over, because Ukraine is the distraction, this is all really about destroying America. Because once we are gone evil tyrants will control the earth.

You all are nothing but a bunch of short-sighted idiots who are unable to see the bigger picture, even though all of the signs are like bright blinking neon lights.
