  1. @the Unrepentant Isn't natural order the excuse slave-owners made for slavery? I'm sure you think the natural order demands the Russian boot be permanently on the Ukrainian throat. But, Ukrainians have the right to set their own path, without Russian interference.

  2.  @ignatiuschua5268  I assume the Ukrainian people preferred an educated, reform minded comedian, who put the people's interests first, over a Russian backed oligarch, who was a former mob boss, only concerned with his own interests. Al Franken was a comedian, and a really good Senator. Being able to tell a good joke is not disqualifying.

  4.  @natalijaasbjornsen8827  Why are you repeating Russian lies? When Ukraine first got its freedom, from being a Russian vassal state, Russia made sure their oligarchs ruled. Reform minded Ukrainians threw the corrupt Russian backed oligarchs out. That was not a nationalistic push, just one to get rid of corruption. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, and held a phony referendum. Only Russian speakers were allowed to vote. Then Putin used this rigged referendum as a fig leaf for his land grab, that gave him a much needed warm water port. This invasion, under the pretense of a common language is the same lie he used to justify stealing parts of Moldova and Georgia, before his invasion of Ukraine. This is the same pretense Hitler used to conquer Sudetenland. He is still illegally occupying, with troops, sections of those countries. If not stopped, he will retake all the FSU countries. His goal is to rebuild the Soviet Union.

  5.  @nicethangz6339  The corrupt Russian backed oligarchs lost power in Ukraine. That might be what put a burr under Putin's saddle.
