    Why did they let Zelenskyy beat him?

    Zelensky ran on a peace/Minsk compliance platform. Got the Russian vote. With his own nazi, but more moderate nazi, media support. Everything was going to come up CIA anyway.

      lmao, right, so basically no matter what happened it was the CIA. That’s very convenient.

        You think democracy is supposed to lead to progress and shared prosperity? No its CIA capture, that makes democracy write propaganda against CIA enemies that pretend they’re winning. West/Ukraine has been winning all along, Russia on brink of collapse, stories have been constant during war. The weakness of this particular feeble attempt is in first paragraph. Lemmy went apoplectic over criticism of absurdity.

      You keep throwing the word “nazi” around quite a lot. Explain what it is, and why Ukraine is ruled by nazis now.

        Banderites are equivalent enough to nazis. Ukrainian nationalists hateful of USSR/Russia fought with Germany during ww2 including administering extermination camps in Ukraine, and brutal massacres of “wrong” ethnic group villages. Stephan Bandera was their PR leader. He was given national hero with holiday status in 2019.

          It was 2010, and it was annulled in 2011. The parliament rejected an attempt to re-commemorate him in 2019.

            74% of Ukrainians have favourable view of him. Public celebrations of his birthday have massive turnout, with Poroshenko and Zelensky having praised him, and supported the “failed recommemeration vote”. You are technically correct afaik.
