    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

            Wishing doesn’t make it so. You’re free to try to prove me wrong, but you won’t like what you find when you search.

            You’d think Russia would have made a bigger deal of that if there were any truth to it at all, but they don’t even mention it. They like to make claims about Nazis, they like to cry about NATO expanding after some of their neighbors watched them abuse some of their other neighbors, they downplay whether they’re really in a genuine war or just a “special military operation”, but they never claim Ukraine attacked them first.

        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.

          “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?
