As attacks like this coupled with the now seemingly daily Ukrainian drone attacks targeting Russian oil infrastructure mount, I really have to marvel at what an own goal the invasion back in 2022 was.
Those assassinations have been going on long before 2022. Maybe Russia taught it was going to end fast. With Zelensky suspending the elections in Ukraine last year, there is no chance of peace and the war will drag indefinitely. I bet if there were elections most people would choose a pro Russia government just to end the war.
dummy said what
Zelensky has like a 75% approval rating as of a few months ago.
That most be enough to suppend elections then. And don't you know polls is about paying for results? It's 60% the last I saw, even that is hard to believe.
How is that hard to believe lol?
You think people are on the side of the guy attacking them
The war started during his regime, billions of dollars in aids for crooks and a lot of the arms end up being sold in the black market. All in the blood of innocent people. I imagine most people there want a less corrupt government that would end the war.
War is about arms sales and control. Plus, buying up the countries businesses for cheap to American companies. The racket started in 2014 with a coup, not in 2022. People act like this is the first US coup. Weapons of mass destruction type of propaganda is always effective.
Curious that there is a gap in the Soviet legislative elections around 1940. I wonder why that is.
