The ones Zelensky fires are the lucky ones.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Zelensky ousts key staffers as Ukraine’s war against Russia continues, bimboeruption wrote: The ones Zelensky fires are the lucky ones.
I am wondering if he's 'letting' his key henchmen go now so they can scamper away (lucky for them). As Russia is overtaking locations, Z probably doesn't want people with knowledge of his deeds and the corruption/NATO empire etc. caught and questioned. But, if that's true then their life spans might be short - maybe he didn't have them killed while they were in office; they can just become 'casualties of war' and conscripted to fight since they have no other role now.
Sure. They’re not in jail. Yet.
Yep - when aides get tired of sending their best to die, it’s time to oust them - and maybe put them in uniform too...after all, they might also want actual elections to take place...
I see. So if Zelensky fired them, they must be good. During times of civil war or invasion, in whatever country, it’s not out of the ordinary for elections and other civil liberties to be postponed. Do you call what just happened in Russia an election? In that case, you’re beyond reason.
“Ukraine’s war against Russia”???? ROFWL”
“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine” is more appropriate.
Do you call the cancelling of the election in the Ukraine “good”?
No. It’s not good. But was Abraham Lincoln suspending Habeas Corpus good? Or Wilson, Roosevelt and Churchill during wartime monitoring private individuals’ mail good? During wartime, especially civil wars such as Ukraine was going through for eight years before the invasion and then the invasion, the very situation is a bad situation, and at times that requires a temporary suspension of the norms of a civil society.
In Russia, however, the election that was held recently was not a real election, only a pretense. One viable candidate died in prison. The other wasn’t allowed to run. The rest of the “opposition” was token candidates who never intended to win, just to make a show of being opposition. Any time you have the incumbent winning by 87%, you know it’s a farce. And now that the election’s over, the Ruble is getting devalued, mobilization is back on, and some Chinese and Turkish banks have stopped dealing with Russia altogether.
As for this massacre, the circumstances were suspicious. There is a police station right in that building, yet it took the police half an hour to show up. There is footage of an armed officer with a big German Shepherd dog in the building, exiting with the rest of the crowd when the shooting started. After he was named Yeltsin’s successor, suspicious explosions kept occurring in apartment buildings, which he immediately knew was caused by the Chechens, and he went into Chechnya and bombed the living sh!t out of it. After that, he won reelection hands down. Now, right after getting reelected, he’s got an horrific terror strike for which ISIS is taking credit, and he’s determined to blame Ukraine and the West.
Ukraine was never an ideal climate for democratic elections. Yet Zelensky was the upset winner in 2019 on a platform of fighting corruption and making peace with with the Eastern provinces. Unfortunately, instead of peace the Russians invaded. Upset election victories do not happen in Russia. Putin sees to it.
