“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.” ~Jason Walsh

Jason Walsh is an idiot. At the same time Russia launched a huge invasion of Ukraine in a new front, still bombarding across all of Ukraine with missiles and suicide drones, with millions of Ukrainians in other countries as refugees, dense Walsh is wondering why Ukraine cannot hold presidential elections across the whole country.

"According to the Constitution, Ukraine may not hold parliamentary elections until martial law is lifted and for six months thereafter. Martial law has been in effect since February 24, 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine."
