What if you disagree that your Democratically elected candidate was deposed or cheated out of office? What if you disagree with forced vaccines? Betrayal is rapidly becoming anyone who disagrees. Before you get snide…I put my money where my mouth is on the front lines as a warfighter against America’s enemies. The right to disagree used to be part of the Constitution. Especially for individuals

I feel the same. But I haven’t taken up arms. Not yet anyway.
“Before you get snide…I put my money where my mouth is on the front lines as a warfighter”
So did I, Scooter.

Ukraine ain’t America.

There’s a big difference between simply disagreeing with your country (protected by First Amendment) and colluding with your country’s enemies against the interests of your country (could be treason).
It’s more complicated than that. Yanukovych was elected, yes, but he was not deposed by a coup. He foed Ukraine after the country found out he deal he did in Russia on 17th December 2013 effectively handed the country to Russia.
He was elected to sort the economy out and stabilise their ailing economy, and his government had majority support from all main political parties for free trade relationships with the EU as well as Russia.
The Putin deal was set up by Russia to fail, as a clause included Moscow having direct influence over the Ukrainian finances if Ukraine defaulted on its payments.
Yanokovych single handedly mothballed the eu trade deal at the same time.Somehow he had a billion dollars to set him up in exile in Russia. People took another look at his election funding and surprise surprise, he’d been bankrolled by Russia.
Put it this way: If you think the last American Presidential election was stolen and the Jan 6 protests didn’t go far enough, imagine how furious you’d have been if you found out Putin had been not just bought and paid for Biden’s election but Biden had returned the favor by signing over the Federal Reserve in return for a billion dollar kickback.
Ukraine was a corrupt country but I don’t think even its own politicians thought the corruption would go THAT far. And all but three regions of Ukraine went postal when they found out.
If the same happened in the USA you’d have your own Maidan, and you’d likely feel more than a bit cross with California if it suded with the sellout.
