Who’s arguing? There have indeed been 2 Elections…without the 3 Ukrainian Oblasts seceded that seceded after the Revolution and declared themselves Autonomous Republics.

After 3 Ukrainian oblasts were seized by clandestine Russian military action. They are still parts of Ukraine and could have freely participated in those election if they had not been prevented by the Russians.

In any case, the present government in Kyiv cannot be called one that was imposed by a coup rather than by democratic elections.

I see almost everyone commenting here has been consistently a Putin or Russia supporter for the past 4 months.

What you apparently do not understand is that this is not a zero-sum game. Anti-Zelensky comments do not automatically equal pro-Putin comments. People criticizing Zelensky are not praising Putin.

It is possible, you know, that there are no good guys in this fight. Only a bad guy and a worst guy. Right now we are supporting the bad guy in order to stick it to the worst guy and deter further aggression on his part.

But that does not make the first guy a good guy.

It's not the main opposition party, that Poroshenko's European Solidarity Party. This is the miserable Russian tool, Platform for life and Peace, which had 23 out of 450 seats in the Ukrainian parliament.

Just more fact-challenged pro-Russian propaganda on FR.

Where does the line separating a pro-Russian opposition and a loyal opposition lie?


Let me apply your logic to the more relevant situation ...

Where does the line separating special interests (deep state) representation and being servants of the international globalist gang lie?

I’m talking about the Democratic Party, USA.

Well, it is surprising to see the amount of pro-Russian propaganda spread on FR every day.

There's an army of manure spreaders signed in constantly.

When one political party can determine which opposition parties to ban, you don’t have opposition parties; you have a one-party state.

“When one political party can determine which opposition parties to ban, you don’t have opposition parties; you have a one-party state.”

When Germany declared war on the USA in 1941 the US government banned the American Nazi Party, arrested and prosecuted some of their leaders for treason, and seized all of their assets.

Now convince me that this was wrong.

If one finds oneself on the same side as Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, it should cause one to perhaps consider the situation is perhaps not as it seems.

“Zelensky governing like Putin now.”

Then I guess you now like Zelensky? Or do you dislike Putin?

Which one?

This is really more of the same old news.

In May Ukraine banned 11 parties with ties to Moscow. There are still 50 political parties operating in Ukrainme. The party For Life reformed and got banned again.

You failed in your argument. You just violated Godwin’s law.

They’ll be right here repeating “Pooty Poot” and “Russia shouldn’t invade an independent country,” and “Zelinsky is Jesus” and all the other retarded nonsense they have flooded the place with all these months.

“Well, it is surprising to see the amount of pro-Russian propaganda spread on FR every day. There’s an army of manure spreaders signed in constantly.”

A growing number of FReepers are starting to notice this. They’re also starting to notice the obvious common narratives these mutts are promoting on FR:

“Ukraine isn’t a real country”
“Ukraine is really part of Russia”
“Nazis”
“Neocons”
“Globohomo”
“You should go fight for Ukraine”
“What if Russia or China puts nukes into Canada or Mexico?”
“This is a civil war and NATO needs to stay out of it”

And a few of them who have openly acknowledged foreign citizenship insist on using the terms ‘We’, ‘Us’, and ‘Ours’ when it serves their narrative to infer that they are Americans.

Glad to have you on the side of the resistance!

So Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea took part in the Revolution to oust their elected President? They didn’t actually secede? It’s the Russians who seceded? And For the last 8 years the Residents of these Oblasts are have been fighting with Kiev against Russians?

Now convince me that this was wrong.

The government, under FDR, also put Japanese Americans in concentration camps.

Once you break the rules, there are no rules. There is only the growing exercise of government power, always with an excuse of an emergency.
