      Ukraine is more democratic than the US has ever been.

      • The US president has changed 6 times since the 90s. Ukraine had 14 prime ministers in the meantime.
      • The US is a two party oligachy with apparently only exactly two political views you can have. Ukraine is a multi-party system. Multiple parties govern the country, not just one of two. Your vote actually matters, even if you vote for a small party that holds a single-digit minority.
      • Ukraine is governed by the people and not by big corporations and corrupt politicians like in the US. Just have a look at the balance sheet of US senators and you know.

      Yes please, the US can leave Europe alltogether, thanks. China is a better partner to us than the US is. We’ll stick with them. Do your imperialism elsewhere.
