          Yes, it is logical. When you want to assert authority and remain in power, it is, in fact, logical to ban your opposition. But it is not democratic. It’s fascist.

                  But how are they “trying” to be. What effort was made to be democratic? Was it when America organized a coup of the popularly elected government in 2014? Was it when they integrated ethnic cleansing Nazis into the government? Was it when they banned their opposition? Was it when they closed their borders to all men eligible to the draft? Was it when they promised to sell off national assets to western corporations on the stock market? Was it when they declared their desire to be a second Israel (a literal genocidal apartheid state)?

                  What part of this is an “attempt” at democracy??

      Ukraine bans communism and socialism. How can a country be democratic without democratic governance?

      LMFAO, in the real world Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe

      https://www.theguardian.com/news/2015/feb/04/welcome-to-the-most-corrupt-nation-in-europe-ukraine

      where the fascists banned all opposition https://mronline.org/2022/03/24/opposition-political-parties-banned-in-ukraine-and-unified-information-policy-imposed/

      Yeah, let’s stick to the lane of Ukrainian fascists doing ethnic cleansing in Donbas which was the original topic. You’re the one who sealioned into it with BuT AchuAlLy iT iS RusSiA wHo ArE tHe ReAL NaZis.

          What’s the logic to “free” a less-corrupted country with your increased corruption?

          The difference here is that I never claimed that Russia is some beacon of democracy was you’re doing here with Ukraine.

          For me it seems the original topic of this thread is: “Germany Suspects Sabotage to Russia’s Nord Stream Gas Pipelines”.

          Well, you certainly haven’t said anything regarding what you claim to be the original topic of the thread.
