They keep talking about Russian imperialism but I don’t understand what they mean 😭

They keep talking about Ukrainian democracy but i can't find any. Maybe my definition of democracy is different.

Apparently, according to Bernie "Israel has a right to defend itself" Sanders, democracy is when you cancel elections, ban opposition parties, forbid peace negotiations, place all media under state control, arrest people for social media posts calling for peace, beat up priests, abduct men off the streets into vans and force them to go die in the trenches, murder journalists, and torture regime critics to death in secret prisons.

What do you mean? José Napoleón Duarte was a shining example of democracy in Latin America, supported by the glorious free USA 🦅 Nothing he did could be construed as anti-democracy so Zelensky doing the same thing also isn’t.

Imperialism is when one country crosses the border of any other country, all other context be damned.
