    Alright, you had me until you revealed your sources.

    Alot of your info is correct, some is straight up progpaganda. I try to stay on neither side, but factual wrong sources will sway people away from you.

    If you used an AI for this, please check for other than one source. One of your articles literally clamied that Russia is democratic and Ukraine isnt.

    Russia is ONLY democratic on paper. You should know that if you follow politics as much as it sounds.

      Russia is much more democratic than Ukraine. While Russia is unfortunately still capitalist and therefore ruled by a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, it is no less democratic than the western countries - countries that are also bourgeois dictatorships - that call Russia autocratic as a convenient way to demonize their enemy. Meanwhile Ukraine is ruled by a fascist coup regime installed by NATO, a regime that has indefinitely suspended elections and regularly kidnaps members of its population off the street in unmarked vans to be sent off to the front lines of the war as cannon fodder. It is the most openly neo-Nazi country on the planet, much to the consternation of western journos and politicians who have to keep making excuses and trying to redirect everyone’s attention away from the swastikas and cult-like deference to a dead Nazi nationalist.

      So if you’re disregarding the previous comment because you think its sources are dubious all because they report on topics you find distasteful, it’s time you started questioning the sources that you have mistakenly trusted, the ones that are telling you the lies about Ukraine that you seem to have swallowed without any critical thought or questioning.

      Hopefully we can all agree at least that yes, China is far more democratic than any of the above in that its people can and do effect change in the system that governs them, and they are almost universally happy with their government.
