Your framing is so pathetic I genuinely think you might actually be American by your lack of reading comprehension and your failure to have an actual position you're consistent in.
Your entire argument is a desire to take your ball and go home because people don't agree with you, which is the basis of a democratic government, people disagreeing. While people want to sling shit about socialism vs capitalism, Marx and Engles both 100% supported a democratic notion of a country where voting was key which you clearly don't. You're ignorantly standing on the opposite side of that fence thinking you champion these people and it makes me sad you try to use their names to prove a point you genuinely don't even understand. You parrot Russian talking points to legitimize their claim to Ukraine. You deny Ukraine it's sovereign right to decide for itself and genuinely referred to it's democratic decisions as the result of it being a puppet state, something only a person with a legume for a brain would think.
I said I'm done here stop talking to me. Go back to read your theories and fail to understand them. Go back to supporting authoritarianism because people don't agree with what you think or do what you say. If you ever lead a country it would be under an authoritarian rule because you genuinely cannot handle people disagreeing with you and view it as them being "wrong". Bye bye bonehead.
So you're just going to completely ignore the fact that there's this huge gaping hole in your logic around the question "how do we know the Western-backed faction genuinely represents the popular will" and pretend that you actually answered it and proceed to attack me over not just blindly accepting that claim based on nothing the way you do.
Really doesn't do much to dispel the notion that your criticisms of the West are just empty talk, and that in practice you're as blindly loyal to your state as anyone.
As usual, any critical thought, or anything short of "USA! USA!" is a "Russian talking point."
Because it's a disingenuous question. It isn't a western-backed faction, it is the will of Ukrainians. They marched in the street. Only an absolute idiot would ask such a stupid poopoo baby headed question. Foolish smh. Now leave me alone and go be a legume brain elsewhere.
It's not? Really? When did all the arms shipments stop?
It objective and inarguable that they're getting backing from West, regardless of their legitimacy. If you're going to complain about semantics at least make it accurate.
And the separatists didn't? This is ridiculous.
At best, that shows that people in the western regions didn't like the old government. It does not prove that they did like the new government (especially considering the US was hand-picking which figures would end up in power), and it also does not prove that the people in regions far from where those marches took place were in agreement with any of that.
If the western-backed faction had been so secure in their support and popularity, then why was it necessary for them to ban the opposition parties anyway?
It's such a shame that it's impossible to discuss anything like this with anyone in your camp because you all respond this same way, taking offense to the fact that I'm even considering these questions instead of blindly accepting whatever our politicians tells us to think.
