    Which is a lot of words to say that you genuinely believe you know what they want better than they do.

    No country is a monolith, but ultimately if a nation’s leadership is not representing their people, that is an issue for the people of that nation to resolve.

    Unless you’re proposing that “spreading democracy” to other countries in order to install the government we think they should have is actually a good idea?

      Nah, I just know a lot better than you do because I’m not the one pretending that the regime in Ukraine represents the people there. The democratically elected government that represented the people in Ukraine was overthrown back in 2014 in a violent coup backed by the west. Ukraine is literally a product of the west “spreading democracy”.

        Ah, of course. You know better because you know better. A tautology that no one can ever disprove. But should anyone dare to suggest that this position is a touch arrogant, they deserve to be ridiculed and insulted.

          No, I know better because I bothered to spend the time to educate myself and I provide sources to support what I’m saying. Meanwhile, you just spew baseless nonsense.

      Who is this “they”? The Ukrainian oligarchs and their far-right government that are conscripting men to fight their war for them? The Azov Nazis? Or the regular working people just trying to live their lives?
