🇻🇪 If you WIN elections but nationalize the oil, you’re a DICTATOR

🇺🇦 If you BAN elections but sell your country to Blackrock, you’re a DEMOCRAT

      Edit: wording improved, a bit

      It seems pretty accurate to me, but that may just be my bias, due to also getting my information from independent media and independent journalists, not just the owner-class media.

        independent media and independent journalists

        Edit: spelling

        I think you mistyped “Russian state sponsored media”

    he may have an agreement with blackrock and jpm regarding investments and reconstruction, but president zelensky has not ‘sold out’, and did not ‘ban’ elections. he enacted martial law in response to russia’s aggression and invasion. ukraine’s parliament concurred and has repeatedly extended it since. holding elections now, under those conditions, is literally against their constitution. a large majority of their people agree that elections during wartime is not appropriate. the only ones, it seems, that wants elections in ukraine are some far-right american republicans.
