It’s getting harder and harder to pretend the war in Ukraine, now in its third year, is about “defending democracy,” as our political elites in Washington insist.
This is especially true when Secretary of State Antony Blinken shows up in Ukraine to deliver billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund the war, proclaims that Ukraine’s scheduled presidential elections this spring are canceled until “conditions allow” (Ukraine has not held elections since 2019), and then jaunts off to a popular Kyiv nightclub to play a boomerish cover of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
That actually happened this week.

Blinken...proclaims that Ukraine’s scheduled presidential elections this spring are canceled until “conditions allow”
The Russian side of the four provinces in Ukraine have already had three elections in the past two years.

It doesn’t make any sense does it? If they are at war why are they partying?

They live in a dystopian world. Our lives mean absolutely nothing to them.

The globalists consider themselves the rightful owners to planet earth. We are disposable plebes to them.
They are fulfilling their master’s plan.

I think, at this point, all of the Ukraine Cheerleaders want to do is keep this war going through the November Elections, as that is the only hope Biden has of winning. Sadly for them, though, I don’t think Putin is going to abide by their wishes.

Whatever U.S. Elites Are Defending In Ukraine, It Isn’t Democracy Idiocy, Ukraine has had free and fair elections resulting in a new person elected as president every election cycle.

Trump exposed them with his call to Zelensky. The impeachment wasn’t about Trump phone call. It was the fact the Ukraine, as the Oligarchs and Deep States bankers were caught and impeaching Trump was to cover up the mess. The war with Russia is a false flag operation, designed to remove as much money from the US as possible as part of the leftists destruction of the US.
