While this is true, I’m all for democracy in Russia. Not outright separatism, that this lady advocates for.
USA too.
Their peasants can’t see that they could actually have indoor toilets, running water and elecrircity under democracy.
She is 100% right. Putin is afraid of being toppled by internal dissent like Yanukovich, Akaev, Shevernadze, Gaddafi et al. Putin can defend himself from the outside threats. Russia have nuclear weapons, but he can’t when his own People turns against him.
Jesus, what nonsense is she talking about.
Ukraine is one of the three most similar countries to russia (the others being Belarus and Kazakhstan).
Ever since it started to move away from its corrupt autocracy, the kremlin was panicking.
Up to then, russian could say: oh they are not better off than we are.
Ukraine moving towards the west, towards liberal democracy and prosperity, might have caused the people to think what works for Ukraine might work for them. So destroying Ukraine and keeping it misserable is in the kremlin’s best interest.
God forbid the peasants get any ideas…
But Russia is surely already democratic. Putin regularly wins landslides against those that survived long enough to run against him.
No, I think, rather, that they are more afraid of NATO
with democracy(or rather its suppression ) Russians have been doing very well for a long time now
They shouldn’t fear our crusade, it is to save their souls.
That is the most based thing I’ve heard today
I don’t agree. If democracy ever dares to expand to Russia it will either fall from 10th floor of a building or be found dead in prison.
Nah, I think Putin’s just upset about NATO, because he can’t really attack and annex the former soviet countries if they join NATO and risk triggering article 5. He wants the Soviet union back.
The US should stay out of other countries with the lie of freedom and democracy. They do nothing but exploit bomb and pillage then leave a countries trashed.
This is why the cooked logic about Russia defending against ‘NATO expansion’ is dumb as hell.
NATO gained two additional members since 2022 precisely as a response to Russia’s invasion… so nice job playing yourself Putin, you stupid fuck.
This b*tch has the worst takes on this war. And that says a lot.
i like her
This.
That’s so true and it’s only now I realise how much this needed to be said out loud.
I love this woman.
🤦 A superficial statement…
Finally! Thank you!
Ukrainians looked at Poland and said: “We want that too!”
If Ukraine would be as successfull as Poland, Rusians would look at Ukraine and say: “We want that too!”
That’s the biggest threat for Putin. Not NATO, but the EU!
Also putin is scared that he’ll suffer the same fate as Gaddafi. Bayonet into the arse by the very people he used to opress.
Exactly. Ukraine was about to go demo mode long term and it was to close to home for Putin, so he knee jerk reacted. The Ru people would see their neighbors have EU like stuff and would start asking for the same rights & freedoms, bringing back into Ru opinions & ideas, trouble for putinski.
Idiot saved himself at maximum expense for the people.

I’ve been thinking this for years. Russia’s entire foreign policy is about disrupting the EU because as we get closer to Russia then Russian people see the relative prosperity that comes from open democracies and cooperative trade. In the same way that the liberalisation of Eastern Europe was unthinkable in the 1960s, the liberalisation of Russia Empire seems unthinkable today. But I wouldn’t be surprised if a few decades from now it will collapse again. As the border Oblasts are exposed to the success of their neighbours. They will begin to question why they were ever our adversaries when being our friends would have led them to more prosperous lives.
