Following the ‘democracy must be destroyed in order to preserve it model‘, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dissolved all political opposition parties and consolidated all media.
There’s a word to describe when a single national leader takes control over all media platforms and dissolves the political parties of his opposition. However, apparently, we are not allowed to notice that because Russia “invaded a sovereign democracy” or something.
LVIV, Ukraine, March 20 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has signed a decree that combines all national TV channels into one platform, citing the importance of a “unified information policy” under martial law, his office said in a statement on Sunday.
Ukrainian privately owned media channels have hitherto continued to operate since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. The decree announcement, made on the presidential website, did not specify how quickly the new measure would come into force. (link)
Despite Zelensky speaking directly to CNN, not a single ONE of the 17 stories headlining on CNN's webpage mention a word about Zelensky's actions.
They are not covering it. Go figure. /s
‘democracy must be destroyed in order to preserve it‘
Makes sense.
He was doing it for 2 years, except the opposition and media were attacked by thugs. Now he is blatant about it.
Emporer Schwab must be proud of his hobbit.

So he’s pulling a Putin.
It is what Nazi’s and democrats party members do.
Note how the corrupt media covers up stories and social media bans people when telling the truth.
Sundance is an amusing blogger, but his repeated utterance of blatant falsehoods is off-putting. Not all political parties have been dissolved. Ukraine has literally dozens of political parties.

he British Union of Fascists was a pro-German party. Ukraine has pro-Russian parties. Britain banned Oswald Mosley’s party not for ideological reasons, but because he supported an enemy nation over his own in wartime. That’s also the rationale for the banning of the pro-Russia parties.
Except, unlike Britain, which banned the BUF at the outset of war before a single German soldier occupied British land, Ukraine waited 8 years after the initial Russian invasion before banning the pro-Russian parties. That suggests a great deal of patience. They can be reinstated once Russian troops have left.
Note that the US banned the pro-German German-American Bund after war was declared, even without the Germans having occupied a single square inch of American territory:

So much for fighting for freedom and an open society. Ukraine is in fact the underbelly of the deep state.
Nice. /s
That’s an interesting group of people jockeying for positions in behind Zelensky.
I’m so surprised.
That’s good to know. It makes sense that he’d dissolve pro-Russian parties.
Although my anti-censorious nature says that’s wrong, we’re seeing first hand what happens when anti-national parties run amok in the countries they hate.
I guess we will get 100% Ukrainian propaganda instead of the 95% we get now.
Sundance is desperate for clicks and has turned to pumping out a lot of red meat click bait garbage for quite some time.
“So he’s pulling a Putin.”
No dipstick he’s pulling a Brandon. Please do try to keep up.
but but but, I thought Ukraine was a “democracy”.
I’m rootin’ for Putin .
