    Say something real instead of just fronting. Substance.

    Then why can’t Ukrainians simply vote? Zelensky’s election win was a mandate for peace unfulfilled. And now they can’t vote at all until some impossible victory that will never come? They can vote in Eurovision singing contests, but they can’t choose a government? All opposition parties have been banned, FFS. It’s a fascist death cult wasting millions of lives in an intractable war they created.

      Lol do you understand what rule of law is? Do you understand what it feels like to be under active invasion by an aggressor nation?

        Hey, they’re recycling the same lines over where I’m poking this lolcow! This is cringe adultery. How dare.

        Real talk tho this is starting to feel really bot-like. They’re regurgitating the same talking points, their responses barely make sense in context and they seem to instantly try to turn everything into the BS “Ukraine is Nazi” and “Ukraine started it” propaganda lines.

          Yea it’s very interesting. I’ve met 2 pro Putin Russians in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin who kinda reminded me of this guy. So I think they really do exist. Same arguments then. Absolutely brainwashed

            Yeahh, they’re having a little trip down the Random Unrelated Highway going on about ‘modern feudalism’ after I told them ARD is a german (not ukranian) broadcasting group. And now we’ve gone hard in on raving about Ukraine’s political standing to, idk, deflect from being caught out in a lie? It’s really disjointed, it feels like half their replies were supposed to be posted in this thread instead. Idk man, I think this one might be legit bad faith - even the brainwashed stooges tend to be more coherent.

              Say something of substance.

              Why is German polling of Germans somehow invalid?

              A great way to find out what Ukrainians want is to allow them to vote. Again, they chose peace the last time they had a chance.

              Too bad the Presidency doesn’t have any power in a junta.

                Uh… dude (if indeed that moniker applies), I get you really wanna talk about the politics of Ukraine, but we’re talking about Germany right now. This whole diversion happened because you tried to use a german publication to support your lies about germany, but claimed it was ukranian. Seriously, stop trying to turn this conversation into your creepy obsession. It’s, as I said, boring.

                  Where did I say anything to that effect? I said Germans are electing Nazis because they’re the only ones offering offramp from this unpopular war and sanctions that’s destroyed their economy, as well as climate goals.

                    In the other thread, the one I was referencing in that comment? The comment you replied to with the context from the other thread? The comment for Kuzco? The comment chosen specifically to kill Kuzco? Kuzco’s comment?

        Fascist coups. Banned opposition parties. Banned opposition media. Forced conscription. Closed borders from the INSIDE. No elections.

        How is this “rule of law”?

          Lol, of course you wouldn’t understand rule of law.

          If you want to agree to disagree we can what are your views on Putin?

            I’m not Russian, so my opinion means very little. I simply acknowledge a foreign leader as existing and representative of a sovereign people.

            Now, if my tax dollars were going to arm Russia , then I might have an opinion. But they’re not, are they?

            I can reserve my opinions for actually arming brutal regimes like Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ukraine, etc. Things I SUPPOSEDLY should have some say in, but I don’t.

              Lol so you think your actual tax money is going to Ukraine. Well please share which country is paying Ukraine all this money so that we can discuss it?

                It’s approaching half a billion dollars, with no end in sight. And what do the Ukrainians get, other than oligarchs skimming it? More war, more death, and no future?

                Between the predatory IMF and war loans, their grandchildren’s grandchildren will still be paying this generational debt. All while Blackrock has privatized every vestige of public institutions.

                The West’s corporations and billionaires are terrified that Ukrainians actually might democratically choose Russian annexation, which would wipe out this debt, privatization, and austerity overnight.

                I’d take that deal in a heartbeat.

                But let them vote and they can choose themselves.

                    Bringing the world to nuclear armageddon is preferable to simply letting people vote for themselves?

                    For such a supposedly staunch ally of Ukrainians, you sure don’t have much faith in them.

                    But it never was about them, was it?
