      Yeah, people get irritable about misinformation on their front page, like when someone falsely claims Zelenskyy canceled elections.

          Zelenskyy isn’t blocking elections, though. Ukrainian law/constitution forbids elections under martial law, and they’re under martial law because they’re still under invasion from Russia. If anyone is blocking Ukrainian elections, it’s Putin because the only options he left them are to either resist and forego elections temporarily or submit and lose Ukrainian elections forever. In neither option does Ukraine get elections, and Zelenskyy isn’t the one who created the situation by invading.

            Even if that weren’t 100% bullshit it wouldn’t matter because the current regime was put there by a US backed coup anyway. Russia’s response to our extremely obvious puppet state waging proxy war from right across their border is perfectly reasonable, if they overthrew Mexico and started sending people across the border to attack us we’d have fucking nuked them by now

          No, a bunch of parties were suspended because they have connections to the country that’s bombing them, and it’s only while they’re under martial law. Martial law could end any day now if Russia just fucked off back home.

            Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.

              That’s a great thought-terminating cliche you have there. Careful with it, though. It’s an antique.

                  You said nothing for me to really refute, other than a round about way of saying you think in generally full of shit. I made an actual claim, you made a vague dodge that doesn’t actually address it, I pointed that out.

                    I’m making fun of you. You got brushed off. You squeezed your pseudo intellectual brain and ‘thought terminating cliche’ oozed out this time instead of ‘strawman’

            “He didn’t ban opposition parties, opposition parties were merely banned, by him!”

              banned

              Suspended. As in, a temporary measure. Because dealing with Russia would be treasonous when they’re under active attack by Russia. Cry harder about people blocking Russian corruption. Someone here cares, too, I’m sure.

              by him

              Also not true. National Security and Defencr Council did it.

              Any other blatant lies I can help clear up?

                What is actually treasonous is killing your entire adult male population in a war you cannot win just so you can stay in power and keep stealing billions in foreign aid.

                A war you yourself started by bombing your own people and then refusing to abide by the internationally ratified agreement that you previously signed.

                The parties that want to negotiate with Russia an end to the conflict are the actual Ukrainian patriots.

                There is nothing preventing elections from being held except the fact that the drug addled Nazi dictator knows he would lose them.
