    You’ll get one comment out of me just so others see reasonable push back to your bad faith argument, afterwards I will no longer engage.

    1. All democratic countries I know, have provisions in their constitutions suspending democratic processes, centralizing power in the executive and conscripting their unfortunate male population in the event of an invasion of the country.

    2. It is a frankly ludicrous idea to suggest that this war is somehow ongoing because “we” want Russia’s natural resources.

    Russia started this. Russia can end it any day by stopping the bombardment and withdrawing their troops from within the borders of Ukraine, at least to the status quo before its 2022 invasion.

      1. Bullshit. You just made that up. The clause in the constitution was added by the Svoboda led coup government after a “extra constitutional transition of power”. Everything is lies built on lies built on a U.S. bankrolled fascist coup. Fuck off and let people vote.

      2. The RAND Corporation wrote a whitepaper that basically translates to “how to fuck up Russia and take all their shit”. This isn’t any secret. The Arctic thaw is opening access to bast troves of previously untouched natural resources. The Northwest Passage is about to become a reality. This is why Trump wants Greenland and Denmark so desperately, and it seems to be working.

      Denying the core principle of U.S. foreign policy for all of modern history isn’t convincing anyone.

      And don’t get me started on Europe. “All pipelines lead to Rome” weird how that works.

        Is there any way to help? I would not have anything against Russia, but while I’ve been alive, they have managed to invade multiple peaceful countries close to mine, so naturally everyone sees them as terrorists (a living definition to imperialism and fascism), to be terrorized
