Sundance is an amusing blogger, but his repeated utterance of blatant falsehoods is off-putting. Not all political parties have been dissolved. Ukraine has literally dozens of political parties.

he British Union of Fascists was a pro-German party. Ukraine has pro-Russian parties. Britain banned Oswald Mosley’s party not for ideological reasons, but because he supported an enemy nation over his own in wartime. That’s also the rationale for the banning of the pro-Russia parties.

Except, unlike Britain, which banned the BUF at the outset of war before a single German soldier occupied British land, Ukraine waited 8 years after the initial Russian invasion before banning the pro-Russian parties. That suggests a great deal of patience. They can be reinstated once Russian troops have left.

Note that the US banned the pro-German German-American Bund after war was declared, even without the Germans having occupied a single square inch of American territory:

That’s good to know. It makes sense that he’d dissolve pro-Russian parties.

Although my anti-censorious nature says that’s wrong, we’re seeing first hand what happens when anti-national parties run amok in the countries they hate.

Sundance is desperate for clicks and has turned to pumping out a lot of red meat click bait garbage for quite some time.

You cite Wikipedia, which can (and does) contain outdated information.
