Let's take a look at a few slides from this lecture that Mearsheimer gave back in 2015 to get a bit of background on the subject. Mearsheimer is a prominent American scholar who is not pro Russian in any sense. First, here's the demographic breakdown of Ukraine:
here's how the election in 2004 went:
this is the 2010 election:
As we can clearly see from the voting patterns in both elections, the country is divided exactly across the current line of conflict. Furthermore, a survey conducted in 2015 further shows that there is a sharp division between people of eastern and western Ukraine on which economic bloc they would rather belong to:
No, I don't think open fascist should've been allowed to run in Russian elections. https://archive.org/details/VideoAlexeiNavalnyComparesMuslimsToCockroaches
Presumably you know something that Ukrainian intelligence doesn't? https://www.kyivpost.com/post/28630
It's hilarious that you think FSB poisoned him with intent to kill him, then for some reason let him go to a hospital and fly to Germany. This would make perfect logical sense to somebody who's high on meth I suppose.
Nor was Navalny ever a popular candidate. The most national support his party ever got was only around 5%. This was never a serious party. So, again, it's not clear why anybody would think that FSB would need to poison this fascist pig.
So you don't believe in self-determination at all. I think what I believe is that a country should be able to elect whoever they like, and then that person must act within international law. If they break international law then they should be arrested and tried by a court such as the International Criminal Court.
I guess I believe in democracy and the rule of law, while you believe in arbitrary authoritarianism. That's probably why you're posting in defence of Russia's fascist regime.
There is probably no point in us talking with each other any longer. You believe in the fascist Kremlin regime invading a sovereign democratic nation and murdering its people. I hope one day you will take a more humane position, but I'm not optimistic.
Yeah, you got me. I don't believe in self determination for fascists, not being a fascist like you. However, being a fascists you're obviously lacking in intellect. I've literally explained to you that Navalny was never a serous political force in Russia and his party never had more than 5%. Navalny has fuck all to do with self determination.
Oh and what does international law say about fucking genocide fash? All of the west is actively supporting one happening in Gaza right now. You don't have any moral high ground here.
The only thing that's clear here is that you're fascist sympathizer with no moral standards. And you're right that there's no point having a further discussion with an open fascist pig like you.
