Trump’s attempts to denigrate Zelenskyy have led to a surge in Ukrainian unity
-
I mean we do, but like one would look at a particularly bloated and grotesque tumour.

He's got Quebecois singing the national anthem in English
Wdym? I'm ootl (and my google-fu is apparently shit)

People don't like to hear it because it's coming from a corrupted pig like trump but zelenskyy is indeed a dictator. Martial law is a form of dictatorship and it shouldn't exist: human beings do not need authoritarian laws to be able to defend themself. While zelenskyy has been touring the fancy courts of world rulers to get money and weapons that directly empower his government ukrainian men between 18-60 haven't been able to leave the country since 2022 and in fear of getting stuck there many ukranians living abroad haven't been able to return. There are cases of people dying trying to flee the border and the draft reach the point where they started kidnapping people in the streets.

Aside from you turning standard democratic practice in wartime into dictatorship and molehills into mountains, and the general backing that those policies have in Ukrainian society, which is perfectly intact as a polity -- you know what's a fast and easy way for all of it to stop? Russia backing the fuck off into its own territory.

My brother told me about it a few days ago during a hockey game in Montreal. I looked for clips and turns out it was bilingual, which is a little less exciting.

That's an interesting wikipedia article - that's the first time I've seen [failed verification] on a citation, let alone two. You learn something new every day.

Suspending and abolish human rights it's not a standard democratic practice, it's standard practice for corrupted rulers who seek every mean to get more wealth and power.
If you were russian and china decides to invade your country would you been fine with russian authorities kidnapping you off the street to fight for their government?
-
He wants to run the US like Putin so bad, maybe fringe states will break away there too
-
Zelensky is no dictator. He just happened to be the president at the time that putin invaded and now cannot simply quit and let it all fall apart. Who in their right mind would choose to be a good leader for Ukraine now when the US is turning nazi?
-
USA is completely solidifying itself as the entire world’s enemy.
-
I don't know, is China arresting people who protest the war and throwing them at frontlines in Russia? "Front or fifty years of gulag for high treason" kind of voluntary recruitment?
-
The one thing I hope I can look forward to in the future is Ukraine winning and reading a news report about Zelenskyy retiring and just enjoying life post-war
-
If I'm understanding it correctly he can't just stop and he can't run an election. He was the last elected official is well liked by his people and most of the world, he could appoint someone but that seems more dictatorial or monarchist than holding an office I think most everyone would rather not hold at the moment.
-
There are two very good reasons not to have an election there right now
1: they just don't have the time for it, they are fighting for their lives and country.
- A sudden strategy shift, even if it's a good one, has the potential to put their army in disarray.
More important, it's just more projection. He's a dictator. Not me
-
Yeah, the only people who aren't united against Trump are Americans.
-
The anthem itself is bilingual. Singing it in French is every bit as appropriate as singing it in English.
-
fuck you.
-
Yup exactly.
-
Also, elections would create announced gatherings of people, perfect targets for a force that abandoned all humanity
-
“I need ammo, not a ride” is fully equivalent to “We will fight on the beaches”.
Even more so since unlike Zelensky, there weren't enemy death squads looking for Churchill in London at the time of that speech.
