    Of course it does not change reality. Why would you even think that?

    Do you often have the feeling that writing changes reality?

    Putin chooses the death of millions of Russians and Ukrainians regardless of what you or I write.

          Overthrowing a democratically elected government in a country to install a fascist regime that sacrifices the country for western interests is definitely a good analogy for rape.

            Completely missing the several elections after said overthrowing.

            The people spoke, and _confirmed_that indeed they did not like the government they overthrew.

              Completely ignoring how Donbas separated after the coup which is what the whole civil war was about for the past 8 years. 🤦

                Separated without a legitimate election, unlike the rest of Ukraine, yes. So there were several free elections in most of Ukraine since the revolution, and no free elections in Donbas.

                  How were they going to get a legitimate election after a coup overthrew the legitimate government genius?

                  and no free elections in Donbas

                  Last I checked it was Ukraine and not Donbas that cancelled elections, but do go on. Your fantasies are really interesting.

                    Why would they not be able to get one? Are you suggesting Ukrainians are unable to govern themselves or hold free elections? Where is the proof of that?

                    Are you suggesting that Ukraine can not ever hold free elections after a coup, but Donbas can while under armed invasion of a foreign country?
