1. For democracy!

   This sick parody continues to write itself.

   This is a man, funded by the West, who has refused to face elections and get the mandate to the very same people he sends to die on the front lines.

   He had previously banned a number of political parties, including the largest opposition party for being “pro-Russia”. And taken control of the media to “prevent misinformation”.

   And now that he may face elections, he “sanctions” his political rivals.

2. Dictatorships always eat themselves as you can’t have any opposition strong or weak. 

   This is what we are seeing with the green goblin God emperor here. 

   He effectively [banned all opposition parties](https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/3/21/why-did-ukraine-suspend-11-pro-russia-parties)

   And has been under martial law well past his legitimate term. 

   Not that Porky is much better.

   After all, he was the first to escalate this by calling the separatists terrorists and bringing a military force of artillery, tanks and aircraft to the Donbass as under the guise of an ATO. 

   But he too couldn’t stop the rhetoric and wanted to [persecute anyone who stood against the coup in Kiev.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTq_WruaMMA) 

   Let them eat themselves. Ukraine will be the better for it.

3. Damn they’re not even going to give a decent propaganda reason for it? Every other article I’ve read is just stating there’s no details or comments on the actual basis of the charges. Not a good look…
