I’ll have to pass on “democracy” if that means jailing “climate deniers,” putting male perverts in little girls’ bathrooms, declaring Bible believing Christians “hate criminals,” tearing down “racist” interstate highways, banning gasoline powered cars after a certain date, “abolishing whiteness,” “drag queen story hour” in kindergarten classrooms, etc. I damn sure wouldn’t fight the Russians to protect any of the aforementioned depravity and oppression, which is rampant in the western world.
You're being ridiculous. Russia HAS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH or FREEDOM OF THE PRESS or FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY, RELIGION, etc. Its moronic to not understand that Ukrainians are fighting for their freedoms against Putin, a 20 year ruler who has changed the constitution so he can rule another 25 years.
