Usa, it's the empire. It couped ukraine's government in 2014 and replaced them with nuland's handpicked compradors

The Ukraine government proper was overthrown by the US empire in 2014 for the crime of being friendly with Russia (among other reasons) and then the empire propped up a Nazi regime that spreads Russo-phobia among its populace

So I actually took the time to read those articles and watch the video. Now I'm not well informed on past Ukrainian politics, but none of them talk of Zelensky. Which I think was elected democratically and not put in power via a coup.

And honestly, if I had to pick between a pro-Russian and a pro-US government in that area of the world, I'd pick a pro US one for sure. It's the least worst choice.

Yes, Zelensky was democratically elected on a platform of peace & reconciliation. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to deliver on those promises, because as soon as he got into office, the fascists made it clear that they’d kill him if he did deliver, and the pressure they put on him to get what they want continues.

Zelensky was in no way qualified for the job. He was a comedian who played the president on TV. It was a wildly popular show. It’s like if Martin Sheen ran for president after The West Wing. He was basically groomed & funded by a Ukrainian oligarch to play a TV president and then run for president. Ukraine has long been considered the most corrupt nation in Europe.

His presidential term ended over a year ago, and the longer the election is postponed, the less legitimate he will appear.

Nice sources commie but have you considered that I can't hear you and Putler is a poopyhead and you probably want to kiss him on the mouth?
