  1. say what you want? like "white lives matter"? Ukraine has no opposition parties allowed in the Rada! how is Ukraine democratic?

  2.  @romeob.8369  absolutely true. Zelensky is feeling the squeeze

  3. the West is looking for an off ramp to minimize its humiliation. Russia has won, just a question of how long it will take the Western leaders to realize this.

  4.  @TootsyBootsy  which of those stand as opposition parties?

  5.  @Error_404_Account_Deleted  why tax dollars? why not make it voluntary to test the real support for Ukraine? You and your friends can give every penny you own to Zelensky, what is stopping you? and Zelensky could sell all his overseas property, nothing stopping him. but the point is he won't, and you won't, because it is other people's money you want to spend, not your own.

  6.  @TootsyBootsy  tell you what, let's make this simple. direct me to the last speech in the Rada that was critical of Zelensky's handling of the war, or any Ukrainian report in the press that was critical of Zelensky.

  7.  @TootsyBootsy  no goalposts being moved. If not one single member of the Rada has mentioned one criticism of Zelensky's handling of the crisis, then Ukraine = N Korea. Roosevelt, Churchill both had plenty of critics in WW2. Even one of their great allies, de Gaulle, criticized their decisions. if a united homefront means no free press, then that is exactly what a dictatorship is. Looking forward to you producing a Ukrainian report on how foolish it was for Ukraine to walk away from the Istanbul peace talks. Plenty of Russian reports called Putin out for the retreat from Kherson. How many reports called out Zelensky for the loss of anything?

  8.  @TootsyBootsy  sure, I will check it out. presumably it dates from AFTER all opposition parties were removed from the Rada? can you name any US stateman who have been critical of Zelensky? has ANY leader of ANY ally of Ukraine been critical in ANY way of Zelensky? never. the censorship is amazing.

  9.  @TootsyBootsy  from wikipedia On 20 March 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a ban on 11 political parties for ties with Russia: Opposition Platform — For Life, Party of Shariy, Nashi, Opposition Bloc, Left Opposition, Union of Leftists, Derzhava, Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialists Party

  10.  @TootsyBootsy  so when Wikipedia says that 11 political parties were banned in March in 2022 by Zelensky, is that true?
