NAFO types are quite active on here. CIA thanks them for their service to Biden, Soros & Schwab.

All I said was that those people don’t look like they are afraid or being forced.

Then you throw out the usual childish Putinist hogwash to cover the fact that I think this is silly DM propaganda. There is propaganda on both sides. Problem is many of you are too invested in one side to admit it.

Doesn’t matter which side it’s on.

Those people do not appear to be under duress.

This is just another way of telling FReepers you are a clown.

Since Russia is going to stuff the ballot boxes anyways why would they care if someone voted or not?
Especially someone who doesn’t want to vote at all would probably be anti-Russian anyway.

My comment was an observation. If the Daily Mail wanted something believable they need to find a convincing photo. Or make up one like lying propagandists do.

Geez, we can’t even trust photos to be honest anymore.

Actually all the goofy propaganda has done more to hurt the cause for Ukraine in the eyes of people.

The truth is always the better route to go but I know it doesn’t convince high rollers that they need to send more money.

Russia is proving yet again it is a fake country built at gun point. Always has been and always will be.

Whereas here in “civilized USA” the DemoNaxiCommie party bosses “win” elections without “assault rifles” —— by simply rigging the vote count. Much smoother

Are they forcing them, or protecting them?

DemocRats eye them with envy because they have to do it the old fashioned way and cheat.

One doesn’t have to look very hard on the internet to find lengthy videos of Ukrainians lined up at polling places to vote — and the lines are long. Almost everyone is smiling, and many are singing, dancing, wearing red, white and blue clothing and waving miniature Russian tricolor flags. You can even see captured Ukrainian soldiers voting in POW camps in the presence of foreign observers (while UKR doesn’t even allow the Red Cross to visit Russian POWs at all). But here in American and the West, our “free” media suppress and/or demonize everything that doesn’t fit its anti-Russian narrative. Such conduct is noteworthy to any objective observer.

Since the Ukrainian government is killing civilians for daring to support Russian integration of Donbass residents, it is understandable to have armed men present to stop such murders of civilians.

The armed soldiers are not there to force a vote. They are there to protect those who vote and to prevent violent reprisals against voters.

It is absurd to think voters would even show up if they expected to be shot for voting “the wrong way.”

Zelensky and his thugs would have nothing to fear if the citizens of Donbass were thrilled to remain part of Ukraine. That, of course, is not true.

Let’s see video of voters dragged out and beaten or shot for voting the “wrong way.”

That, of course, IS NOT HAPPENING.

“Those people do not appear to be under duress.”

Something tells me you would be singing a different tune if this November armed soldiers came to your house telling you you had to vote.

Small world and gay too.

Damon Wilson, CEO/President of NED talking about a democratic Russia being the end goal.(regime change?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=424&v=kI4QDm5G-pE

He’s speaking at an Atlantic Council talk. Wilson lives in DC with his husband. He advised or worked for NATO, worked at the Atlantic Council and is now CEO/President of NED.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Wilson

Congress funds the NED. NED funds the IRI(republs like McCain, Graham, Romney, Rubio) and NED funds the NDI(dems like Daschle, Abrams, Brazille) Quite the circle jerk.

Given that Zelensky has threatened to arrest anyone who votes and imprison them for 5 years I’d say they need security.
